Kole
Nedelkovski was
Kočo Racin's
contemporary, and was born in 1912. Because of the
poverty he had to discontinue his education and started to earn for living,
working as a house-painter. However, he was very interested in the Macedonian
language and read books all the time. He expressed his
sympathies towards the workers movement. As he participated in certain
activities connected with it, he was constantly banished by the police.
 Kole
Nedelkovski emigrated in Bulgaria, hoping that he can write about any
constraints. In Sophia, he joined the "Macedonian Literary Society"
and got together with Racin, Nikola Vapcarov, Dimitar Mitrev and some others
literary activists. He started to create poetry more intensively and involved
himself in a struggle against the fascism. He was killed in a conflict with the
Bulgarian police in 1941. Kole Nedelkovski published only
two songs collections "M'skavci" (The Thunderbolts) and "Pesh po
svetot" (Walking around the World), which express social and revolutionary
ideas. Mainly, his poetry is influenced by the Macedonian
folk song. Kole Nedelkovski especially nourished the Macedonian language and in
his songs we can notice pure Macedonian language and a tendency of searching and
using old Macedonian words.
