  • The Ideas of Marxism-Leninism Will Triumph on the Revisionism
    THE IDEAS OF MARXISM-LENINISM WILL TRIUMPH ON THE REVISIONISM W9 mo «853 19 6 2 (5x mm THE IDEAS OF MARXISM-LENINISM WILL TRIUMPH ON THE REVISIONISM 1962 >0 I .. THE DECLARATION OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE PARTY OF LABOUR OF ALBANIA At the 22nd Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union N. Khrushchev publically attacked the Party of Labour of Albania. N. Khrushchev’s anti-marxist slanders and attacks serve only the enemies of com¬ munism and of the People’s Republic of Albania — the various imperialists and Yugoslav revisionists. N. Khrush¬ chev, laying bare the disputes existing long since between the leadership of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the Party of Labour of Albania openly in the face of the enemies, brutally violated the 1960 Moscow declaration which points out that the disputes arousing between the fraternal parties should be settled patiently, in the spirit of proletarian internationalism and on the basis of the principles of equality and consultations. Publically attacking the Party of Labour of Albania, N. Khrushchev effectively began the open attack on the unity of the international communist and workers’ move¬ ment, on the unity of the socialist camp. N. Khrushchev bears full responsibility for this anti-marxist act and for all the consequences following from it. The Party of Labour of Albania, guided by the in¬ terests of the unity of the world communist movement and the socialist camp, with great patience, ever since our disputes arose with the Soviet leadership, has striven to solve them in the correct marxist-leninist way, in the way outlined by the Moscow Declaration.

  • 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.

    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.
