В този рядък запис от 1976 година, Георги Марков представя любимата си музика. "My Kind of Music", с Пади Фини от Световните Служи на Би Би Си.
Georgi Markov was one of the few open critics of Bulgarian Communism, a writer and a broadcaster, a BBC journalist.
On 7 September 1978, on Waterloo Bridge, just across from Bush House, Georgi Markov's desk at the BBC World Service, he was jabbed in the thigh by a man holding an umbrella. The man apologized and walked away.
Markov later would tell doctors that the man had spoken with a foreign accent. He recalled feeling a stinging pain from where he had been hit by the stranger. Back at work in Bush House, Markov noticed that a small red swelling had formed and the pain from being jabbed had not gone away. He told his close friend and colleague at the BBC, Teo Lirkoff, about this incident.
That evening Georgi Markov developed a high fever and was admitted to hospital where he died three days later, on 11 September 1978, at the age of 49.
British police ordered a thorough autopsy of Georgi Markov's body. The forensic pathologists discovered a spherical metal pellet the size of a pin-head, containing traces of highly toxic ricin.
An acclaimed writer in the 1960s, Georgi Markov was leading a privileged life in Bulgaria and knew many Communist leaders personally. After 1968 he was becoming more outspoken against the system; one of his novels was banned, and, just as a new play was about to be stopped, in 1969 Georgi Markov left Bulgaria.
In 1971 he settled in the UK, where he joined the BBC's Bulgarian Service. In 1974 his play "The Archangel Michael" -- his first after coming to the England - won an award at the Edinburgh Festival. Georgi Markov regarded this as a breakthrough as a writer in the West.
Between 1975 and 1978 Markov worked on his analysis of life in Communist Bulgaria. His pieces were broadcast weekly from Munich on Radio "Free Europe" Their criticism towards Bulgaria's Communists and personally towards the Party leader for 35 years, Todor Zhivkov, made Georgi Markov one of the most hated enemies of the regime. The 7th September 1978, when he was attacked, was the birthday of Bulgaria's, Todor Zhivkov. No one has yet been charged with the murder of Georgi Markov.
De-classified Bulgarian secret files show details of a close cooperation between the Bulgarian secret services and the Soviet KGB over the murder. The investigation in the UK, where the crime was committed, will continue until the case is resolved.
Хиляди благодарности за този клип! Върнахте ме към годините на моята младост, когато години наред обикалях Балкана с транзистора на ухо, слушайки програмите на ВВС и най-вече тези където участваха двамата от клипа.
Вчера намерих моя стара лента, на която съм записал от ВВС в началото на 70-те радиопиесата "Архангел Михаил", където Георги описва по неповторим начин драмата на партизанина и стражара, който го е заловил, на път от планината към кметството. Велик автор, велик българин!
The man talking to Georgi is Paddy Finney, a real BBC legend working for BBC more than 30 years, mainly in its sport programmes. Unfortunatelly i can find nothing for him, neither in Wikie, nor in Google. I wonder why? Does anybody of you know anything about it? Thanks in advance!
A great Bulgarian who,like many of its best citizens, has been failed by the Bulgarian state. It wasn't convenient to prosecute his murderers, so they weren't.
Вчера намерих лентата, на която съм записал в 1971 или 1972 г. от ВВС радиопиесата "Архангел Михаил" на Георги Марков, в която той описва по неповторим начин драмата между партизанина и стражара, който го е заловил. Велик автор, велик българин!!!
