Ukraine – what you’re not told
Albania Today 1975
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.

Speech delivered at the 30th Session of U.N. General Assembly by Nesti Nase
Contents include:
The whole issue is devoted to Volume 19 (in Albanian) of Enver Hoxha’s Collected Works. This includes the heroic speech that he made at the Meeting of the 81 Communist Parties in Moscow in November 1960.
This is Enver Hoxha‘s famous speech at the meeting in Moscow in November 1960 when he denounced the Soviet Revisionists in their own home. Probably the finest declaration of principle in the history of Marxism-Leninism.
