Shadrov Stefo

Stefo was an old communist from the village Ostrovo-Vodensko. He took part in the ELAS units and fought against the German occupation. At the violent December battle in 1944 Stefo was persecuted afresh. He was forced to leave his family and along with the heroine Mirka Ginova moved into illegal operations and continued his operations in organizing the people in the struggle against the English imperialists and their local servants. In 1945 Stefo and his comrades in the Gluvsko cell, after being betrayed, were attacked by a group of gendarmes. He fought hard for seven hours. And when he saw that there was no other way out he killed himself so that he would not be captured alive.
