Krista Yoslav was the forbidden wife of Andrei Markov. She was killed by a NATO bombing raid during the Bosnian War; her death was the motivation for Markov's terrorist activities in 2015 and 2016.
History[]
Markov holding Krista's body in Bosnia
During the Bosnian War, Markov and Sergei Illich were part of Russia's secret military assistance to their allies in the Yugoslavian government. If Markov was discovered to have married Yoslav, he would have been court martialled by his commanding officer, Ivan Stagleishov; the reason for this is never made clear. Nevertheless, the two were secretly married against orders.[1]
In August and September of 1995, NATO forces carried out Operation Deliberate Force, a massive bombing campaign against Yugoslavia-friendly forces in Bosnia. One of the bombing runs had gone off-course from its intended target; Krista Yoslav was among the casualties in the accidental bombing. Markov and Illich discovered Yoslav's body on the ruined street just as the NATO bombers were leaving the airspace above. Markov swore that he would "never forget this" and Illich affirmed his statement.[1] The two eventually led the New Russian Federation uprising to exact revenge on NATO and the United States of America.
