Koco (Kosta Solev) Racin, born in Veles in 1908 to the family of poor potter. Racin could not afford to continue schooling past the age of thirteen, so he worked in his father's pottery workshop.
Observing the social injustice, he came into a conclusion that those who work hard, gain nothing. He joined the workers movement and became a member of the Communist Party of Yugoslavija (KPJ). He was banished and imprisoned because of his illegal activities. He joined the War for National Liberation in its most important moments. He was killed on the Lopushnik mountain in 1943, as a victim of misunderstanding and under suspicious circumstances.
Racin wrote songs, stories, literary-historical articles, cooperate with several magazines, wrote literary critiques and essays.
In his essay 'The Development of Our New Literature' he argued that the most correct and plausible way to develop modern literature in Macedonia was to build it from the inexhaustible riches of Macedonian folklore, combined with progressive social views. Racin's interests lay in the plight of field and farm workers and wage earners.
An annual Balkan literary festival is held in Racin's honor in his hometown, Veles.
