Kavaeva, Despina (Despina) – Collective and singer of folk songs from time and city of Miladinovci, Struga. He collaborated in the preparation of the Miladinov Brothers’ Proceedings. Peter Chakar wrote about her life and work (which was Depa Kavaeva, in “Nova Makedonija”, 23-27. Ⅹ 1962). There are data that Depa Kavaeva is the granddaughter of a younger sister of Miladinovci, that about one hundred and fifty songs in Miladinovci’s collection were collected by her, that she was a secret fiancé of Grigor Prlicev and that she may have co-authored in the unforgettable song of Prlicev “In a thousand seven hundred and second summer.” Similar to Dafina, it was defended by nature to remember and improvise. She was planted and with a great sense of observation, very sensitive and dreamy nature. The uncle is helping the Epochet Colliver, so Constantine Miladinov in the preface to the first edition of the Proceedings of People’s Songs (Zagreb, 1861) announces that “most poems are listened to Struga, from Depa Kavaeva”. Her biography is known to be the Suskjankin, a very young, and as a reason she cites her unrealized love with the author of the “Serdar”. In the monastic order, he took the name Cassian. D. T.
