Events

Albania was one of the darkest communist barracks in the second half of the twentieth century. Their leader, the orthodox Stalinist Enver Hoxha, was initially a staunch supporter of Stalinism and then Maoism, but eventually he did not consider either Soviet or Chinese communism sufficiently communist, and so he isolated himself even within the socialist camp - deepening the problems of a country that was becoming self-sufficient. In Albania, class struggle was still intensifying even as Kádár was busy “greasing the palms” of society in Hungary. In Albania, the Orwellian “new narrative” permeated every aspect of life, while at the same time it sought to take full control of private life. And the dictatorship did not spare those who resisted the regime: according to some estimates, approximately 25,000 people were executed for political reasons.
