A maior contribution in this d"irection was t'he lV Congress of tl'te PLA which was held Jrom February the 13th to the 20th 1961.

From the tribune of this congress Kh.rushchev publ,icly attacked the PLA and made open counterrevolu- tionary cal,Ls to strangl,e socialist Al,bania ancl. to bring dowm its Marxist-Leninist Leadership. ln December 1961 Kh,rushchey wenl even Jurther; he went as Jar as to sever diplomatic relations with Al,bania. During this period the Party o! Labour of Albania maintained a cautioLLs but resolute and eonsistent stanrl. This is clearly seen in atl, the writings, tullcs and speeches of comratle Enver H oxha, PKT E rE sT rffi E BTA IET RE I$X fi$tr$ He wiscLy c:tarificcl th,e cornmunists and. al,L tl'tc utorldng messes ideol,ctgicall,y anrl pctl,lti,cal,Ly, he mobilised them to oyercome wi,th success the ncany dilf icul,ties and obstacles wh,ich ltad been and tt,ould be created f or tltem and at the same tiru,e he def ended witlt, courage th,e principles oJ Mar- x[,sm - Leni,nism. exposing with arguments aLL the anti - Marxist actions of the Khrushchevite l,eadership of the Soviet Union and its satellites.
