Confirmed....

Confirmed; the assassination attempt on Pope John Paul 2nd in 1981 was ordered by the KGB, using Bulgarian agents.

The fact that the KGB used the Bulgarians as foot-soldiers for dirty work is an age-old cliche, first brought to my attention when reading the Ian Fleming James Bond novel 'Casino Royale', published in 1954 and a worthwhile read for the sober yet stylised realism that he was soon to abandon.

Evidently this fact was absolutely true; Marcov was assassinated in London by a Bulgarian agent with a compressed air gun hidden in an umbrella.

But this time, it is an Italian court which has confirmed that the KGB tried to kill the pope.

Confirmed.

The FSB(inheritors of the KGB-no archives liberated here) has called this nonsense.

Which means that they are part of a long game.

Confirmed.
