ABRAMOVI\u0106"},"content":{"rendered":"\n\n\n

NIKOLA ABRAMOVI\u0106 BJELICA, son of MIRKO, born in Dabar near Stolac. He lost his father at an early age, so he lived in Mostar with his mother Stana, to whom he was very devoted, after finishing elementary school. Worked in Mostar as a sales assistant. Member of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (KPJ) since 1926, pre-war union official and official of the FC “Vele\u017e”. Prominent activist in the “Abra\u0161evi\u0107” Workers’ Cultural and Artistic Society in Mostar, head of the drama section and the Esperanto course. Arrested and convicted several times, such as in 1929 in the group of Gojko Vukovi\u0107, or another time in 1932 in the group of An\u0111elko Goati. He was imprisoned in Sremska Mitrovica, where he met a large number of revolutionaries. Arrested again in early September 1940 due to a protest general strike in Mostar involving over 2,000 workers, all companies and craft workshops, as well as the Coal Mine, caused by the ban on the activities of “Vele\u017e” as a center of progressive ideas. Arrested and taken to the Lepoglava prison. In the same group, the following were arrested: Im\u0161ir Gigi\u0107<\/a>, Mustafa Bjelavac<\/a>, Nikola Abramovi\u0107 Bjelica<\/a>, Rade Bitanga<\/a>, Mustafa Alajbegovi\u0107, Smajo Brki\u0107, Hasan Kreso<\/a>, Slavko Bala\u0107<\/a>, Luka Kne\u017ei\u0107<\/a>. In the second group, the following were arrested: Mustafa Humo<\/a>, Velija Hujdur<\/a>, Vasilije To\u0161i\u0107<\/a>, Mile \u0106e\u0107ez<\/a>, Ljubo Ajvaz<\/a>, Rade Majstorovi\u0107<\/a>, and Rudolf Hrozni\u010dek<\/a>. According to one source, “he was subjected to police torture and harassment in the infamous casemates of Lepoglava, from where he told his mother in letters that he should not beg the authorities to get out of that infamous dungeon, because he would get out together with his comrades.” When the Usta\u0161e came to power in Croatia in April 1941, he was liquidated, possibly in concentration camp Stara Gradi\u0161ka\/Jasenovac or Gospi\u0107. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was described as a “staunch proletarian”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EXCERPTS FROM LITERATURE: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Like other members of the Party at that time, he builds himself up, reads Marxist literature, attends various courses, learns foreign languages, attends an Esperanto course, actively works in the “Abra\u0161evi\u0107” society. He possessed a rich Marxist literature, so he grew into an ideologically educated and trained fighter, communist worker whose knowledge becomes valuable in the fight for progressive ideas of the labor movement.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Nikola often came to his native Dabar, especially during the holidays, to pay attention to his brother Aleksa. Every time he came, Nikola used to gather neighbors and acquaintances and give them information about the fight for workers’ rights. His word was listened to and was appreciated, because Nikola was direct, communicative, ideologically-politically educated, so he won people over quickly.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

After its establishment, three sections were active within the Society: drama, tamburica (musical instrument), and educational\/cultural. The ensemble of folk songs and dances, \"Abra\u0161evi\u0107,\" was one segment of the Society's overall work. The tamburica section played a significant role in gathering young progressive forces. The police banned the activities of \"Abra\u0161evi\u0107\" from 1929 to 1935 when the tamburica section resumed its work. Performances took place at parties in the city, especially at the Workers' Hall during dance events. Each party was opened with a song: Workers' Greeting \/ Greetings to the Brave Fighters \/ Fighting for Rights and Labor \/ Let's Be Merry and Happy \/ Solidarity as Always.\r\n

In 1939, demonstrations were organized in Mostar with the aim of fighting against fascism, for better workers' rights and a better life. That year, the \"Workers' Hall\" where RKUD \"Abra\u0161evi\u0107\" operated was closed. At that time, the leader of the tamburica section, Mustafa Bjelavac, and the leader of the drama section and \"Esperanto\" course, Nikola Abramovi\u0107-Bjelica (the founder of the Society), were taken to prison in Lepoglava and did not return. In addition to many members of the Society, tamburica players such as Kosta Kali\u010din, Ibrahim Pezo, Haso Fazlinovi\u0107, and Husein Masli\u0107-Husa lost their lives during World War II. During the war from 1941 to 1945, RKUD \"Abra\u0161evi\u0107\" was not operational.<\/p>\r\nSource: http:\/\/www.most.ba\/06364\/089.htm<\/a>, Photographs: CIDOM.","parent":0,"count":5,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":330,"name":"foto","slug":"foto-en","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":330,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":288,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":311,"name":"logor Jasenovac","slug":"logor-jasenovac-en","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":311,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":47,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":312,"name":"Old communist leaders from Mostar","slug":"stari-komunisti-en","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":312,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"\"\" (photo: strike of Mostar miners in 1936)\r\n\r\nThe working people of Mostar had a strong revolutionary awareness thanks to the activities of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia, and its Mostar organization acted as a protector of their interests. It exerted a powerful influence on the population, gaining reputation and support among workers organized in trade unions and through personal examples. They were frequently arrested for their activism, with the largest arrests occurring in 1929, 1932, and 1940.\r\nA significant number of old communists were arrested in 1940 and sent to forced labor camps, preventing them from directly participating in the People's Liberation War. The arrests occurred when the authorities closed down the Workers' Hall and banned the activities of FC \"Vele\u017e,\" considering it a centre for progressive ideas. In response, the working class of Mostar organized a general strike involving around 2000 workers from all companies and craft workshops. For their activity they were tried and convicted and sent to the Lepoglava camp, among them: Im\u0161ir Gigi\u0107, Nikola Abramovi\u0107-Bjelica, Mustafa Bjelavac, Rade Bitanga, Mustafa Alajbegovi\u0107, Smajo Brki\u0107, Hasan Kre\u0161o, Slavko Bala\u0107, Luka Kne\u017ei\u0107, and Salko Feji\u0107 (first group), and later Mustafa Humo, Velija Hajdur, Vasilije \u0160o\u0161i\u0107, Mile \u0106e\u0107ez, Ljubo Ajvaz, Rade Majstorovi\u0107, and Rudolf Hrozni\u010dek. Only four of them returned from the camps: Salko Feji\u0107, Smajo Brki\u0107, Mustafa Alajbegovi\u0107, and Luka Kne\u017ei\u0107. The remaining communists were in the prison of Lepoglava when the war broke out and were soon executed after the Ustasha came to power. Nevertheless, their influence continued to be felt among members of the resistance movement in the city, particularly among the\u00a0the League of Communist Youth (SKOJ) members who quickly organized and continued the struggle against fascism.\r\n\r\nSource: Per\u0161en, Mirko (1963): \"Lepoglava,\" Zagreb.","parent":0,"count":17,"filter":"raw"}],"prezime":[{"term_id":313,"name":"A","slug":"a-en","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":313,"taxonomy":"prezime","description":"","parent":0,"count":24,"filter":"raw"}]},"ptb_featured_image":{"url":"http:\/\/partizansko.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Nikola-Abramovic-Bjelica-foto.jpg","title":"Nikola Abramovi\u0107 Bjelica foto","caption":""},"builder_content":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/partizan\/11215","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/partizan"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/partizan"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/partizan\/11215\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16663,"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/partizan\/11215\/revisions\/16663"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16581"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11215"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11215"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11215"},{"taxonomy":"prezime","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prezime?post=11215"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
