Markov originally worked as a novelist and playwright in his native country, then governed by a communist regime under chairman Todor Zhivkov, until his defection from Bulgaria in 1969.

Quotes by Georgi Markov (?)

“Малко картини по света са ме вълнували така, както ме разтърсваха онези пролетни лунни нощи край София, когато играта на природата невинно ни внушаваше, че планината е повече от планина, че градът е повече от град и че може би ние бяхме повече от неспокойни млади хора.
