Popis: U radu se povodom stote obljetnice analiziraju politički, egzistencijalni i kulturološki‎ razlozi poradi kojih je u jugoistočnom dijelu Istre u ožujku i travnju‎ 1921. došlo do podizanja rudarske pobune – Labinske republike. Karakterizirana‎ radničkim zauzećem tvornica, organizacijom života, obrane i proizvodnje‎ “za sebe i svoj račun” u trajanju od 36-37 dana te na kraju i sukobom‎ talijanskih vlasti i rudara, njezino se podizanje organizira netom nakon vrlo‎ sličnih procesa koji su se odigravali diljem Italije. Taj period (1919-1920), poznat‎ i kao biennio rosso, crveno dvogodište, diljem će Apeninskog poluotoka‎ biti zaoštren u rujnu 1920. zauzećem industrijskih postrojenja u lakoj i teškoj‎ industriji. Unatoč srodnosti i povezanosti dešavanja na poluotocima, Apeninskom‎ i Istarskom, upravo će rudari Labinštine – na tragu naprednih revolucionarnih‎ ideja o “proleterskim republikama”, “radničkim samoupravama” i‎ “rudarskim savjetima” – inzistirati na nizu značajnih dinamika i karakteristika‎ tijekom pobune: anacionalnosti, suradnji sa seljaštvom i zemljoradništvom te‎ na kraju oružanom sukobu s vlastima. Također, rad prožima antropološka teza‎ o specifičnostima rudarskih zajednica koje su činile značajnu razliku u artikulaciji‎ događaja u odnosu na šire radništvo.‎
On the occasion of the hundredth anniversary, this paper analyses the political,‎ existential and cultural reasons for the rise of the mining revolt in the southeastern‎ part of Istria named The Republic of Labin, during March and April‎ 1921. Characterized by the occupation of mines and wider territory, the organization‎ of life, defence and production “for themselves and their account”‎ during 36/37 days, and finally the conflict between the Italian authorities and‎ the miners, it was organized after similar processes took place throughout‎ Italy. This period (1919-1920), also known as biennio rosso, the red biennium,‎ throughout the Apennine Peninsula would be intensified in September‎ 1920 by the occupation of industrial plants in light and heavy industry. Despite‎ the similarities and connections between the events on the peninsulas,‎ it is the miners of the Labin region – in the wake of advanced revolutionary‎ ideas about “proletarian republics”, “workers’ self-governments” and “mining‎ councils” – who would insist on several significant dynamics and characteristics‎ during the uprising: non-nationality, cooperation with peasantry and‎ ultimately an armed conflict with the authorities. Also, the paper builds upon‎ an anthropological thesis on the specifics of mining communities that made a‎ significant difference in the articulation of these events in relation to the wider‎ working class.‎
