  • 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).

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.

  • Political Transition of Albania 1985-1991
    ISSN 2410-3918 Academic Journal of Business, Administration, Law and Social Sciences Vol. 3 No. 1 Acces online at www.iipccl.org IIPCCL Publishing, Vienna-Austria March 2017 Political transition of Albania 1985-1991 MSc. Brunilda Duriçi Municipality of Bulqize Abstract Political transition of Albania is a phenomenon that started since the death of Enver Hoxha, the dictator of communist regime in Albania. A> er the death of Enver Hoxha on 11 April 1985, Ramiz Alia was appointed as his successor, who for 40 years had been at Enver Hoxha’s side as his most trusted man. He succeeded Hoxha for nearly 6 years believing that he would maintain the communist system. Ramiz Alia came on duty as the head of the Albanian state when the economic situation was very precarious. Political and economic legacy le by Hoxha was almost miserable. The country had the severest political system throughout the communist bloc. In a political point of view, the country’s new leader was elected precisely to continue the political legacy of former leader Hoxha. Ramiz Alia was forced to take immediate measures to change the degraded situation. He undertook several reforms to improve the situation in the country. Among other things, Alia expressed the equality of Albanian citizens, freedoms and human rights. Events were passing each other, marking a great historical importance. Among other things, Alia approved the political pluralism giving way to signifi cant social changes. Echoes of these events and the positive developments in the country do not remain outside the a ention of internationals. The arrival of political pluralism and the establishment of democratic party, the fi rst opposition party in the country and other political entities exposed the European dream of Albanians.

  • Louis Zanga Nearly Half a Century of Albanian Communist History
    Louis Zanga Nearly half a Century of Albanian communist history On November 28th Albania, a country that traces its roots back to ancient II- lyria, marked the 75th anniversary of its independence and emergence from 500 years of Ottoman rule. The fact that Albania has existed a mere 75 years as a unified nation, a period marred by renewed foreign invasions, partitions and encroachments, explains in great part its politically anachronistic and al­ most paranoid fear of the outside world. The next day, November 29th, this small Balkan country marked the 43rd anniversary of its liberation from Nazi occupation and the communist seizure of power. The country came under the iron rule of Enver Hoxha, whose mis- trust of the outside world became a matter of national policy embodied in the Stalin-inspired slogan: “Albania’s savage revisionist-imperialist encirclement.” Communist Albania became a unique model of isolationism, an extreme ex- ample of the price that small but strategically placed countries pay for inde­ pendence. Its Strategie location has been responsible for a history of foreign occupations: first the Romans, later the Ottomans, and finally the Axis occu­ pation during World War II. After the war, Albania’s experimental alliances with larger and stronger communist countries playing partners-cum-protectors were all judged to have failed. Hoxha first defied Yugoslavia, then the Soviet- led communist bloc, and finally post-Mao’s China. Nor did he fail to tum his back on the noncommunist world, though his defiance took a bizzare shape through the assertion that it was the rest of the world that had isolated Alba­ nia.

If one goes by the bourgeoisie, a new decade of freedom and democracy is being ushered in, particularly in Eastern Europe. In our view, of course, as we have said in speeches and articles, what is being said about Eastern Europe is a very big lie.

  • Political Life
    POLITICAL LIFE POLITICAL LIFE INTRODUCTION Since 1944, Albania, Bulgaria and Macedonia shared in political life common elements such as the establishment a one party system, the imposition of a new ideology, construction of new constitutions, the creation of a personality cult towards political leaders and the important role of propaganda in society. However there were also specific elements for each country, such as the issue of statehood for Macedonia or the big emphasis on class struggle in Albania. As a result of the transition in Eastern Europe in the late eighties, radical changes could be noticed in the political systems in Albania, Bulgaria and Macedonia. The three countries experienced the formation of different political parties, free elections and the application of the human rights. How far these changes are everyday reality is left to the judgment of the users of these materials. Political life deals with the following subtopics: Constitutions The constitution is the foundation of the modern state. It shows how the government of the state is organised and what are the rights and responsibilities of the citizens, or at least it should be. As it sometimes turns out that the constitution is different from reality. This subtopic presents the developments in the constitutions of Albania, Bulgaria and Macedonia since 1945 and makes critical comparisons between the constitutions and the real situation. Elections After 1945 Albania, Bulgaria and Macedonia had political systems in which the citizens were allowed to take part in elections. But elections can be organised in different ways and can have different political purposes. What was the meaning of elections in a one party-system and what in a multi-party system? Political persons In every society political leaders and powerful people play an important role.

  • Helsinki Watch Overview
    HELSINKI WATCH OVERVIEW Human Rights Developments The optimism that attended the East European revolutions of l989 had already dimmed somewhat by the end of l990. Now, at the close of l991, we are forced to conclude that some of our worst forebodings have become reality. If there is any room left for surprise, it is mainly at the speed with which the events we feared have come to pass. The demise of communism in Europe has brought grave human rights problems in its wake. A fierce and brutal civil war is raging in Yugoslavia. The Soviet empire has come to an end with new and diverse republic governments now responsible for the protection of human rights. In Romania, vigilante miners, who last year supported the government by brutally suppressing demonstrators, this year smashed the Parliament building in violent protest against price increases and forced the government to resign. In Albania, the demise of communism has been a stormy one, resulting in considerable turmoil, an attempted mass exodus, and violence. Turkey, a strongly anti-communist member of NATO, has long used the fear of a communist takeover to justify repression against its citizens. But the end of a "communist threat" has not eased repression in Turkey, where torture in police detention centers continues unabated. Indeed, violence has escalated in the country; in the past year we have reported on a significant number of deaths in detention and the murder of a human rights activist. Communism is fast being replaced, both in Eastern Europe and in the former Soviet Union, by the ideology of nationalism.

  • HELSINKI WATCH OVERVIEW Human Rights Developments The
    HELSINKI WATCH OVERVIEW Human Rights Developments The map of Europe has changed radically since the demise of communism and the disintegration of the USSR and Yugoslavia, adding seventeen additional countries to the region that Helsinki Watch has traditionally monitored. The human rights situation in the former Soviet bloc has also been utterly transformed. The countries that formerly made up the monolithic Soviet empire had their common repressive policies and abusive practices and were seemingly impervious to the protests of Helsinki Watch. Now, however, we are dealing with new and needy independent states that to one extent or another want our blessings and approval as they reaffirm their own uniqueness. Although human rights abuses continue, they are no longer the same from country to country. Nor do they remain unchanging as was previously the case. The post-communist nations are in transition, and the human rights situations in these countries are also subject to sudden change. Traditional forms of human rights abuses continue: political prisoners, deplorable prison conditions, lack of due process in the courts, denial of religious and cultural freedom, and the repression of free speech, free assembly, and a free press. Actions to intimidate the independent press and to stifle political opposition, often done under pretexts, are becoming increasingly common in the region, especially in parts of the former USSR, as well as in Croatia, Albania and Slovakia. Conflicts over territory, sometimes portrayed by governments, accurately or inaccurately, as ethnic conflict, are also rampant. They have led to armed internal and international conflict in the former Yugoslavia (in Croatia and Bosnia-Hercegovina) and in the former Soviet Union (the Caucasus, Nagorno Karabakh and Moldova).
