They belong to the pe-' riod Jurre-Decernber 1960, a DerA complicated period ruhen deep ideological and political disagreements had arisen in the relations betru,een a nurnber of parties. In this period the PLA had to take decisions of special responsibility and openly rise before the entire international cornrnunist mooernent, to defend Marxism- Leninisrn and proletorian internationalisru from the neru and dangerous reoision- ist trend, which had been crystalized in its ranks by Khrushcheoite reoisionisrn. ln this oolwme a clear picture is gioen oy the consistent struggle carried out by the Partg of Labour of Albania at the Bucharest Meeting and the Moscow Meeting. At Bucharest the PLA dtd not accept that tke alleged vnistalees of the Comrnunist Party of Ckina showld be iwdged and the latter condernned on the ba- sis of a docurnent full of slanderous accusations fabricated by the Sooiet leader- ship, ruithout gioing the Cornvnwnist Party of China titne and the possibilitq to read the rnaterial and present its own oieru. At tke Moscow Meeting the PLA had ns say with reoolutionarA courdge and, before international cornrnunisrn, openly criticised the wrong line of the Sooiet leadership concerning a series of maior questions of principle.

Historia përpiqet të na sjellë të vërtetën. Jo pak historianë me famë kanë njësuar kujtesën dhe historinë në një gjë të vetme.1 Por, tregimi i historisë dhe akoma më shumë të shkruarit e saj, janë tërësisht të ndryshëm nga kujtesa. Por, kjo nuk do të thotë se nuk ka ngjashmëri ndërmjet historisë dhe kujtesës. As kujtesa dhe as historia nuk na japin një tregim për ngjarjen me paanshmëri të plotë.2 Të dyja krijojnë versionin e tyre për të kaluarën dhe që të dyja janë produkt i kohës që jetojnë. Interesi për të studiuar kujtesën (memorien) e së kaluarës ndikon në faktin për të kuptuar ashtu si duhet njerëzit që kanë jetuar ngjarjet e ndodhura atëherë si dhe vetëkuptimin që njerëz të veçantë duan t'i japin ngjarjeve që kanë përjetuar. Duke ndodhur kjo, për historinë bëhet e vështirë për të kuptuar botëkuptimin e individëve që kanë përjetuar ngjarjet dhe botën e tyre.

    ENVER HOXHA THE SUPERPOWERS 1959-1984 EXTRACTS FROM THE POLITICAL DIARY TIRANA, 1986 THE INSTITUTE OF MARXIST-LENINIST STUDIES AT THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE PARTY OF LABOUR OF ALBANIA «8 NENTORI» PUBLISHING HOUSE FOREWORD In the rich fund of the all-sided creative work of Comrade Enver Hoxha, the beloved and unforgettable leader of the Albanian Party and people, along with the series of volumes of his Works, theoretical books, volumes of reminiscences, correspondence with the people, etc., his Political Diary on International Questions (1958-1984), which is kept in the Central Archives of the Party, takes an important place. Up till now the following publications: «Reflections on China» in two volumes, «Reflections on the Middle East» and «Two Friendly Peoples», have come from this Diary. And now here is a new publication «The Superpowers». This whole book reflects many acute and important events of international political life which have occurred during the quarter century (June 1959 to December 1984). In particular, while observing all aspects of the policy and stand of the United States of America and the Soviet Union with unremitting attention, in this book Comrade Enver Hoxha makes a profound analysis of them. He explains how the superpowers were created, what they represent and what characterizes their internal and external policies, what is their true nature and strategy, their place, and the role which they play in the various political developments of our time. By means of notes, reflections and political panoramas, written with great passion and expressive and generalizing force, the author makes a wide-ranging analysis of the aims and efforts of American imperialism to establish and extend its hegemony everywhere in the world.

  • How the Soviet-Albanian Relations Came to an End
    ISSN 2039-2117 (online) Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences Vol 12 No 4 ISSN 2039-9340 (print) www.richtmann.org July 2021 . Research Article © 2021 Geri Pilaca and Alban Nako. This is an open access article licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/) Received: 4 May 2021 / Accepted: 21 June 2021 / Published: 8 July 2021 Splitting Apart: How the Soviet-Albanian Relations Came to an End Geri Pilaca Alban Nako Faculty of Law and Social Sciences, Department of Political Science and International Relations, Epoka University, Tirana, Albania DOI: https://doi.org/10.36941/mjss-2021-0028 Abstract Albania was the only Eastern European country to exit from the Warsaw Pact and consequently become diplomatically isolated by its member states by late 1961. Such an event was the result of the continuous accusations exchanged between the Albanian and the Soviet Leaders, primarily between Enver Hoxha and Nikita Khrushchev. In the midst of the turbulent Soviet-Albanian relations, China offered its alliance to Albania which only worsened the situation. This study aims to illustrate how the curve of the Albanian- Soviet partnership changed over time, starting from the Stalin era and finishing with the Khrushchev era. More precisely, this study explains how Khrushchev’s decision-making concerning other countries, especially Yugoslavia, pushed the Albanian leaders into changing attitude towards the Soviet Union and make alliances with Mao Zedong. Keywords: Albania, Soviet Union, split, China 1. Introduction The story of the Soviet-Albanian split remains a particular and interesting case study not only because Albania was the second communist state after Yugoslavia to seize all the possible relations with the USSR but also because of the main factors that lead to the disruption of what was seen as very close relations.

We were convinced that they would never give up their plans and aims to gobble up Albania, and to this end would not lay down their arms of subversion, interference and plots against our Party and country. We would be vigilant and with our fist clenched at every moment, because, although it had http://bjoerna.dk/dokumentation/Hoxha-on-Shehu.htm 05-09-2006 Hoxha on Shehu 2/ 31 suffered heavy blows, the Titoite agency in Albania would not cease working for the future and for long-term plans and variants. In this context, in a thousand and one ways, Tito and company would do everything in their power to regain their lost positions, to create conditions and the terrain in order to penetrate amongst us and destroy us.

During this period deep revolutionary changes have been brought about in the political, economic, social and cultural life of the country, major achievements of vital importance have been attained, putting an end to oppression and exploitation of the broad working masses and ensuring a rapid and uninterrupted development of the country on the road of socialism. These achievements have been attained by the Albanian people under the leadership of the Party of Labour of Albania. With the formation of the Party, the working class, the labour­ ing masses brought forth from their ranks, in the heat of battle against the fascist invaders and traitors to the country, a revolutionary national leadership absolutely determined to defend the interests of the people, capable of ensuring their national liberation and social emancipation. The Party of Labour of Albania has always had Marxism- Leninism as its only and reliable guide.
