Summary/Abstract: Strongly promoting the policy of industrialization, the communist party created, by the subordinated cultural levers, an efficient propaganda for the mine’s workers. Considered as a hard job, because of the rudimentary working conditions and the feeble social protection, the mining industry was accessible for common people, without a special qualification, as variant of subsistence. The “enlightenment” conception of the workers, as form of socialization accepted by the political régime, had as foundation the party’s need of domination and standardization. The cultural, social and sportive programs had a double role: to create an organized and supervised way of socialization and to stimulate the implication in the life of community. Using the syndicate and the management of the mines, the party gets to create a trend of cultural, social and educative “prosperity”.
