Kosta Racin

Died in 1943

Kočo Racin, born Kosta Apostolov Solev, was born in Veles in December 1908, the son of a poor potter. He left school for lack of money and worked from the age of thirteen in his father's workshop. He joined the clandestine Communist Party of Yugoslavia while young and was arrested by the police, then joined the partisans, for whom he worked on publishing. He was killed on 13 June 1943 on Mount Lopušnik, near Kičevo, by the sentry of a partisan printing press, in circumstances in which some have seen an accident or a murder.
