Albania Today 1971
Albania Today was a political and informative review produced bi-monthly from the first issue that appeared in November/December at the end of 1971 until everything hit the fan in 1990.
For 20 years it was one way to keep up with the political developments within the country, including its relationship with The People’s Republic of China.
Although there is an emphasis on political statements and speeches there are also insights into the changes, developments and ideas existing within Albanian society during the 1970s and 1980s.
There was only one issue produced in 1971, at the end of the year and the ‘rush’ to do so (rather than waiting for the beginning of the new year) was probably due to the successful completion of the 6th Congress of the Party of Labour of Albania from 1st – 7th November of that year. This also coincided with the 30th Anniversary of the founding of the Party
