Rođen 8. aprila 1921. na Cetinju (Crna Gora), umro 22. jula 1962. u Buraženefu (Bourganeuf); pravnik; anarhistički komunista.

Sin Pera Vrbice, direktora banke i Zorke Petrović, Pavle Vrbica potiče iz politički svesne porodice – njegov deda je prevodio Marksa na srpskohrvatski jezik.

Započeo je svoje političke aktivnosti još kao student prava na zagrebačkom univerzitetu. Kao militant Komunističke omladine, borio se protiv staljinističkog kursa i bio isključen na zahtev čoveka koji će, mnogo kasnije, postati jedan od nosioca titoističkog režima, teoretičar samoupravljanja i konačno disident istog tog režima: Milovana Đilasa.

Pavle Vrbica se zatim posvetio antifašističkoj borbi. Dobrovoljno se uključio u odbranu Čehoslovačke 1939. protiv hitlerovske invazije. Po povratku na zagrebački univerzitet, učestvovao je u antifašističkoj studentskoj mreži. Godine 1942., intezivno sarađuje u časopisu Dinamit, objavljivanom u Crnoj Gori, bez puno uspeha, usled munjevitog hapšenja glavnog urednika.

Born on 8 April 1921 in Cetinje (Montenegro), died 22 July 1962 in Bourganeuf (Creuse), lawyer, libertarian communist.

Son of Pero Vrbica, bank director and of Zorka Petrovitch, Pavle Vrbica was from a quite politicized family (his grandfather had translated Marx into Serbo-Croat),
He became politically active when he was studying law at Zagreb university. Militant with the Communist Youth, he fought against its Stalinist trend and was excluded from the organization by request of a man who would, many years later, become one of the leaders of the Tito regime, theoretician of self-management, then dissident from that same regime: Milovan Djilas.

Pavle Vrbica then dedicated himself to the antifascist struggle. In 1939, he volunteered to defend Czechoslovakia against the Hitlerian invasion. Back at the university of Zagreb, he joined a student antifascist resistance network. In 1942, contributed, among other activities, to Dynamit, a periodical published in Montenegro and scarcely distributed, its main editor having been arrested early.
