  • 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.

  • Bassi Il Lungo 89 Albanese.Pdf
    Diacronie Studi di Storia Contemporanea www.studistorici.com N. 1 | ott 2009 | Dossier : Il mosaico dei confini. Le frontiere della contemporaneità 6 / Il lungo 89 albanese JACOPO BASSI * L’Albania conosce una serie di processi di transizione (politica, economica, culturale) – dalla società socialista a quella capitalista – particolarmente lunghi e travagliati. Il complesso di avvenimenti dell’Ottantanove albanese deve essere collocato in un arco cronologico più ampio di quello tradizionalmente c onsiderato per gli altri paesi comunisti. Le peculiari condizioni economiche e sociali dello Stato schipetaro alla vigilia della caduta del muro di Berlino hanno giocato un ruolo fondamentale nel costituire la difformità dell’Albania rispetto al blocco dei paesi dell’Est. La rigida ortodossia marxista-leninista imposta da Enver Hoxha aveva reso impossibile lo sviluppo di movimenti di opposizione al sistema – come invece era avvenuto in molti paesi d’oltrecortina – in grado di accelerare l’ingresso nell’era postcomunista. «[…] il vero scellerato è colui che ha dei rimorsi, poiché ha qualche idea della virtù; mentre invece Pietro il Grande, il duca d’Alba, erano dei sistemi; e il corsaro Monbard, un’organizzazione» 1. 1 BALZAC , Honoré de, La pelle di zigrino , Milano, Garzanti, 2000, pp. 63-64. Il lungo 89 albanese l 1989, nella storia del Novecento rappresenta una «congiuntura critica» 2. Il breve lasso di tempo che ci separa da questa data non ha impedito l’elaborazione di un cospicuo numero di analisi – soprattutto politologiche I – sugli eventi che si sono verificati a partire da questa congiuntura. Le conseguenze prodotte dalla ridefinizione geopolitica dell’assetto mondiale hanno fatto dell’ Ottantanove l’epifania del collasso del mondo comunista, benché questo fosse in crisi da tempo e per quanto questo abbia protratto la propria esistenza anche successivamente a questa data.

  • 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.
