Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses the character and activities of another person from Gračanica who belonged, for the most part, to the general pre-war activists and sympathizers of the communist movement that were young and from all nationalities. In the years prior to the Second World War they mostly gathered in the Cultural and Educational Society “National Library”, but also in some other pro-Yugoslav societies and organizations (“Gajret”, “Soko” and others) in Gračanica. During the war they mostly operated illegally helping the partisan movement, and some of them later joined proper partisan units. One of the most active among them was Fadil Šabić. This paper discusses his activity in the years immediately prior to the Second World War, his wartime activities and the immediate post-war period which was a time of severe disappointments for Šabić. In addition to basic information about his activities, special emphasis is placed on the general social environment in which he was active, as well as on the many prominent personalities from the local milieu with whom he met and collaborated.
