Mile Markowski (1975)

Milan Wenkow Markowski (also written Mile Wenkov Markowski , Bulgarian Милан Венков Марковски ; born April 14, 1939 in Sofia , Bulgaria; † April 12, 1975 ibid), known as Mile Markovsky (also written Mile Markovski , Bulgarian Миле Марковски was Bulgarian) and Macedonian writer. Milan had two sons, the writer Weni Markowski and the journalist Igor Markowski. He was also a close friend of the writers Atanas Dalchev and Georgi Konstantinov .

Mile Markowski was born in the Bulgarian capital Sofia in 1939. His father was the writer, convinced communist and Macedonian Bulgarian Wenko Markowski (1915–1988) from Skopje . After the founding of the Socialist Republic of Macedonia in the borders of Yugoslavia , the Markowski family returned to Skopje, where Mile grew up.

Mile studied at the University of Skopje , where he graduated in Slavic Philology. He was a chess grandmaster and took part in chess tournaments in the former Yugoslavia. Until 1968 Mile lived with his family in Skopje, where he worked as an editor for the newspaper Nas Svet (maz. "Наш свет"). On June 3, 1968, he and his family were expelled from Macedonia, whereupon he settled in Bulgaria. His father had already been expelled a few years earlier for refusing to call himself a Macedonian instead of a Bulgarian.

When he arrived in Bulgaria, Mile Markowski became a member of the authors' association and deputy editor-in-chief of the children's newspaper Septemwrijtsche (Bulgar. "Септемврийче"). In the following time Mile Markowski published several children's books. For his children's novel Pjasachko (Bulgarian "Пясъчко") he was honored several times.

Mile Markowski died in a car accident on April 12, 1975, just two days before his birthday. He left behind his 33-year-old wife and two sons.
