The Labin Republic (Croatian: Labinska republika, Italian: Repubblica di Albona)[2] was a short-lived self-governing republic that was proclaimed by miners in the Istrian city of Labin (Albona) on March 7, 1921,[3][4] during a mining strike. It was created in what has been described as the world's first anti-fascist uprising.[5] On April 8, the Italian administration in Istria suppressed the strike by force.
