Introduction
Vladimir "Senjko" Ćopić (Senj, 8 March 1891 – Moscow, 19 April 1939) was a Croatian politician, communist, one of the leaders of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia. During the Spanish Civil War, in the period from 1937 to mid-1938, he was the commander of the XV International Brigade.
Like General "Gal", he had been conscripted into the Austro-Hungarian army during World War I, and subsequently captured by the Russians.
His brother, Milan Ćopić, was in the International Brigades' prison at Camp Lucász.
