Even abroad interest and knowledge about Hoxha

The rule of terror | RESO
While in the states of Eastern Europe kleiderkorb and the actual processing of the communist morality has begun at least partially, in Albania does not happen kleiderkorb almost anything. Society is still conditioned by Enver Hoxha's time to dare to cast its gaze on the horrors of the past.
Thirty years ago, the People's Republic of Albania was the North Korea of Europe. The dictator Enver Hoxha, kleiderkorb the ruler since 1944, the isolated country and its inhabitants from the rest of the world. Indoctrinated Albanians were isolated were the vanguard of world communism, guardians kleiderkorb of orthodoxy kleiderkorb really only Marxist-Stalinist Soviet Union after diversion after Stalin's death and departure from the teachings of Mao's China. Thus, Albania was surrounded by enemies, the "imperialists" in the West, "monarcho" in Greece, "Titoites" Yugoslavs kleiderkorb in the east and north. Even within the "people surrounded" were waiting opponents who fought mercilessly must, above all "poliagjentët" as Mehmet Shehu, Hoxha comrade last time the partisans in World War II and for many years minister Internal and prime minister, accused in 1981 as a spy for the many foreign powers and, probably, forced to kill himself. Fear of siege was vizualizua to build hundreds of thousands of bunkers, one to four of which would be attacked invaders. kleiderkorb Critics absurd military and economic program was executed in the 70s.
The world beyond kleiderkorb not receive any information about the power struggle of the Albanian kleiderkorb communist or on the conditions of life of citizens. Thus, Albania became the most mysterious country of Europe, a country about which even those few specialists often do you ngelej but to speculate. West looked to chill this dictatorship, which was safe enough for his neighbors, the penetration was in the lives of people involved in Albania. Only a few small groups Maoist-Leninist, eg those in the Federal Republic of Germany, the chanting country as a socialist paradise on earth.
What do we know today about Albania Enverist? The answer is deziluzionuese: In Albania, historians associated with the party avoiding the communist era. The official version of history presented by the Albanian Academy, to avoid any kind of clarification of terms and, therefore, the ideological evaluation, speaks of "time of war". Continuity of elites in politics and science is strong. Talking about the communist era, it happens so heavily politicized and emotional. He critical processing that occurs is due to the initiative of some intellectuals engaged civil society as Fatos Lobonja and his magazine "Endeavour" kleiderkorb or Ardian Klosi, separated some time ago by life. These, and their colleagues, when seeking a debate on the consequences of dictatorship perennial often face with pure hatred.
Albanian reader faces a strong bulevardizimi memory, kleiderkorb carried out by journalists oriented sensation and former party cadres, who describe their memories of alleged personal kleiderkorb merit before 1991 and their alleged kleiderkorb persecution later. When Blendi Fevziu publicist recently published the first biography of dictator, full of anecdotes, the book was a great success among the public. kleiderkorb But supporters of the regime were irritated by loud; in Ferizaj Kosovo, and the book was burned, a sign that Enver Hoxha as a strong leader, not only in the Yugoslav era glorifikohej.
Secret service archives, the feared Insurance, remain largely closed. From the nineties they used as a contestant incompatible "socialist" or by the post communist "Democrats" on top of power, kleiderkorb who are equally beyond rhetoric associated with Hoxha, above all, to discredit political opponents. Heritage comprehensive network of spies Hoxha regime represents today a closet poisons Albanian society, from which fed rumors and suspicions.
Even abroad interest and knowledge about Hoxha's dictatorship are minimal. How difficult is the classification system showed a meeting of young contemporary historians early in Vienna, while the GDR and Czechoslovakia in the seventies - eighties science speaks of "socialist countries" and sees already exceeded the theory of totalitarianism , evaluation of new Albanian historian, that Albania should be considered as a totalitarian system aroused wonder, even rejection.
As in other communist regimes, even in the case of Albania interpretations vary between dhunshmërisë emphasis of the regime and the changes it has reached a "dictatorship modernization". It is undisputed that the communists transformed their society: industrialization, collectivization one of the most radical of them
