Valerian Markov, notorious Russian anti-Semitic agitator and contributor to the “Novoye Vremija,” chief exponent of the anti-Semitic doctrine during the Czaristic regime, was killed today in a tragic railway accident.
While attempting to board a train near Zagreb, Jugoslavia, Markov made a misstep and fell on the tracks. The train getting into motion, passed over his body.
