  • Tirana Builds an International4
    After Enver On April 9, 1985, Enver Hoxha suffered a cardiac arrest; the doctors were able to revive his heart, but he was deprived of consciousness. Enver Hoxha died 11th April 1985 in Tirana, Albania. In the 1980s Enver Hoxha's state of health had worsened, he suffered from diabetes and in 1983 he was stricken with a cerebral ischemia, and again in 1984. He withdrew into semiretirement, turning over most state functions to Ramiz Alia, who succeeded him upon his death. This succession had been achieved partly by eliminating Mehmet Shehu, Hoxha’s righthand man since 1948, who was prime minister and minister of the interior. In 1981 it was announced that Mehmet Shehu had suffered a nervous breakdown and committed suicide. The official (highly improbably) story was that he had been spying for the Americans, the British and the Vatican. His wife was sentenced to 20 years in a labour camp (where she died in 1988) and the state security was purged of his supporters. After his death on 11th April 1985 Enver Hoxha was buried next to the Mother Albania statue in the Martyr’s Cemetery overlooking Tirana. However, the counter-revolution that took place in 1990 allowed his political enemies to take their revenge and Enver’s remains were moved to the public cemetery in Kombinat in April 1992. Unified Communist Party of Albania, Political Developments in Albania since the Death of Enver Hoxha 'ISML', No. 7, 2000, pp. 5-11. The death of Enver Hoxha in April 1985 marked the beginning of a process of liberal-bureaucratisation of the Party and the state, which eventually led to the overthrow of people's power (the dictatorship of the proletariat).

  • 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.

  • ̱ ͵ͶͲ ̱ Disruption of Albanian-Soviet Relations
    E-ISSN 2281-4612 Academic Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies Vol 3 No 3 ISSN 2281-3993 MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy June 2014 Disruption of Albanian-Soviet Relations Phd Research Student. Brisejda Lala History and Geography [email protected] Doi:10.5901/ajis.2014.v3n3p340 Abstract THEME: “Disruption of Albanian-Soviet Relations” aims at presenting a part of the history of Albanian people as well as the soviet influence in the internal and external policy of our country. The relations between these two countries, whose relations where extended up to 12 years, are characterized by the close unity in the first decade as well as the divergences of the last few years. Our country, Albania, and its internal and external policies were oriented towards the communist camp, and at that time “Stalinism” was the best example to be followed. The external policy of this place changed after the death of Stalin, this was reflected even in the policy which would have been followed by the state. Nikita Khrushchev, the Stalin’s successor, followed the steps towards the “destalinization” and the reduction of the tensions with the West Europe countries. These policies followed by Hrushov contradicted the interests of the Albanian leader, Enver Hoxha, who was obliged to renounce from lots of political posts in order to punish the cult of personality. In 1959 the communist leader, Khrushchev, visited Albania, but this visit flustered even more the issues between these two countries. In 1960 the relations between them were irreparable, and in 1961 they decided to disconnect their diplomatic relations. Lets highlight the reasons that pushed Enver Hoxha toward the great Russian country and the reasons of this immediate disconnection of these diplomatic relations.

It reflects events he lived through, his personal impressions, and gives conclusions, which provide lessons for all periods, drawn from the hostile activity carried out openly or behind the scenes, against our National Liberation Movement, our people's revolution and socialist Albania by the Anglo-American bourgeoisie. It brings out clearly the clash between the diabolical plans, attempts, manoeuvres and concrete activities of Anglo-American imperialism to put Albania under its sway, on the one hand, and the vigilance, the blow for blow struggle of the Communist Party of Albania and its General Secretary, the leader of the Army and the National Liberation Front and the whole patriotic Alba• nian people, Comrade Enver Hoxha, on the other hand, to discover, unmask, defeat and destroy the imperialist strategy and tactics in regard to Albania.

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.

  • Defying De-Stalinization Albania's 1956
    MëDefhyingilli De-Stalinization: Albania’s 1956 Defying De-Stalinization Albania’s 1956 ✣ Elidor Mëhilli In Beijing in 1956 the leaders of two Communist countries got to- gether in a corner and commiserated. The background was a glorious gather- ing: the Eighth National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The older of the two, Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej of Romania, did most of the talking as he complained that party colleagues had taken him to task over his “cult of personality.” As evidence, they had pointed to his image adorning buildings everywhere and countless factories named after him. But Gheorghiu-Dej told his interlocutor, Enver Hoxha, the First Secretary of the Party of Labor of Albania (PPSh), that in fact no such cult had existed in Ro- mania. How could it have? He had been the ªrst to criticize exaggerations about himself. Hoxha knew what his counterpart was talking about. He, too, had occasionally objected in PPSh Politburo meetings to all kinds of excesses: plans to name factories and schools after him; party ofªcials’ eagerness to con- vert his childhood home into a Communist shrine; and the engrained habit of showering him with gifts at birthdays and anniversaries. On the other hand, Tirana, like Bucharest, was teeming with oversize silk portraits of the middle-aged leader, whose name, etched in solid red and gold, abounded on rooftops and façades. Moreover, Hoxha, like Gheorghiu-Dej, was busy grum- bling in Beijing about the onerous challenges they were forced to confront in 1956.1 1. Hoxha recounted the conversation with Gheorghiu-Dej at a Politburo meeting and at a party ple- num on 22 October.

    Anti-Revisionism in Italy The National Committee for Reconstruction of the Communist Party of Italy (Marxist-Leninist) Enver Hoxha and the Great Ideological Battle of the Albanian Communists Against Revisionism Published: North Star Compass Vol.17 No.10-11 July-August 2009 Transcription, Editing and Markup: Paul Saba and Sam Richards Copyright: This work is in the Public Domain under the Creative Commons Common Deed.

Please credit the Encyclopedia of Anti-Revisionism On-Line as your source, include the url to this work, and note any of the transcribers, editors & proofreaders above. The ideological struggle of the Albanian communists against revisionism began already in the postwar period, in a harsh confrontation with Tito’s revisionist clique. Winston Churchill, in his Memoirs, recalled how he was directly interested in placing Tito and his group in the service of the imperialist powers. In May of 1944, he personally met Tito in Naples; in his Memoirs, Churchill wrote that Tito was ready to state publicly that “communism would not be established in Yugoslavia.” During the war there were 140,000 members of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia and another 360,000 before the middle of 1948. Tens of thousands of kulaks and bourgeois joined the party. The party did not have a normal internal life, it did not have internal political discussions, and the leaders were not elected but co-opted. In June of 1948, Information Bureau of the Communist Parties (Cominform), which was made up of eight communist parties, published a resolution which criticized the Yugoslav party.
