People's Socialist Republic of Albania

The People's Socialist Republic of Albania () was the official name of Albania from 1976 until 1992.〔Kushtetuta e Republikës Popullore Socialiste të Shqipërisë: miratuar nga Kuvendi Popullor më 28. 12. 1976 ()〕 From 1946–1976 it was known as the People's Republic of Albania and from 1944 to 1946 as the Democratic Government of Albania. Throughout this period Albania had a reputation for its Stalinist style of state administration and for policies stressing national unity and self-reliance. Travel and visa restrictions made Albania one of the most difficult countries to visit or to travel from. In 1967, it became the world's first atheist state.〔Majeska, George P. (1976). "(Religion and Atheism in the U.S.S.R. and Eastern Europe, Review )." ''The Slavic and East European Journal.'' 20(2). pp. 204–206.〕 It was the only Warsaw Pact member to formally withdraw from the alliance before 1990, an action occasioned by the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. The first multi-party elections in Socialist Albania took place on 31 March 1991 - the communists gained a majority in an interim government. The People's Socialist Republic was officially dissolved on 22 March 1992 with the first parliamentary elections.〔http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/journal_of_democracy/election_watch/v003/index.html#v003.3〕
==Consolidation of power and initial reforms==
On 29 November 1944, Albania was liberated by the National Liberation Movement (LNC). The Anti-Fascist National Liberation Council, formed in May, became the country's provisional government.
The government, like the LNC, was dominated by the two-year-old Communist Party of Albania, and the party's first secretary, Enver Hoxha, became Albania's prime minister. King Zog I was barred from ever returning to Albania, though the country nominally remained a monarchy. From the start, the LNC government was an undisguised Communist regime. In the other countries in what became the Soviet bloc, the Communists were at least nominally part of coalition governments for a few years before taking complete control and establishing out-and-out Communist dictatorships. Having sidelined the nationalist Balli Kombëtar—a task made easier by the Ballists' collaboration with the Nazis—the LNC moved quickly to consolidate its power, liberate the country's tenants and workers, and join Albania fraternally with other socialist countries.
The internal affairs minister, Koçi Xoxe, an erstwhile pro-Yugoslavia tinsmith, presided over the trial (see: Special Court of Albania, 1945) of many non-communist politicians condemned as "enemies of the people" and "war criminals". Many were sentenced to death. Those spared were imprisoned for years in work camps and jails and later settled on state farms built on reclaimed marshlands.
The communist takeover also produced a shift in political power in Albania. For most of the existence of the Albanian state, politics had been dominated by Ghegs from the north. However, power now passed to the southern Tosks. Most communist leaders were working-class Tosks, and the party drew most of its recruits from Tosk-inhabited areas.
In December 1945, Albanians elected a new People's Assembly, but voters were presented with a single list from the Communist-dominated Democratic Front (previously the National Liberation Movement). Official ballot tallies showed that 92% of the electorate voted and that 93% of the voters chose the Democratic Front ticket.
The assembly convened in January 1946. Its first act was to formally abolish the monarchy and to declare Albania a "people's republic." However, as mentioned above, the country had been a Communist state for just over two years. After months of angry debate, the assembly adopted a constitution that mirrored the Yugoslav and Soviet constitutions. Then in the spring, the assembly members chose a new government. Hoxha became prime minister, foreign minister, defense minister, and the army's commander in chief. Xoxe remained both internal affairs minister and the party's organizational secretary.
In late 1945 and early 1946, Xoxe and other party hard-liners purged moderates who had pressed for close contacts with the West, a modicum of political pluralism, and a delay in the introduction of strict communist economic measures until Albania's economy had more time to develop. Hoxha remained in control despite the fact that he had once advocated restoring relations with Italy and even allowing Albanians to study in Italy.
The communists also undertook economic measures to expand their power. In December 1944, the provisional government adopted laws allowing the state to regulate foreign and domestic trade, commercial enterprises, and the few industries the country possessed. The laws sanctioned confiscation of property belonging to political exiles and "enemies of the people." The state also expropriated all German- and Italian-owned property, nationalized transportation enterprises, and canceled all concessions granted by previous Albanian governments to foreign companies.
In August 1945, the provisional government adopted the first sweeping agricultural reforms in Albania's history. The country's 100 largest landowners, who controlled close to a third of Albania's arable land, had frustrated all agricultural reform proposals before the war. The communists' reforms were aimed at squeezing large landowners out of business, winning peasant support, and increasing farm output to avert famine. The government annulled outstanding agricultural debts, granted peasants access to inexpensive water for irrigation, and nationalized forest and pastureland.
Under the Agrarian Reform Law, which redistributed about half of Albania's arable land, the government confiscated property belonging to absentee landlords and people not dependent on agriculture for a living. The few peasants with agricultural machinery were permitted to keep up to of land; the landholdings of religious institutions and peasants without agricultural machinery were limited to ; and landless peasants and peasants with tiny landholdings were given up to , although they had to pay nominal compensation.
The government took major steps to introduce a Stalinist-style centrally planned economy in 1946.〔''Albania: From Anarchy to a Balkan Identity''; by Miranda Vickers & James Pettifer, 1999 ISBN 1-85065-279-1; p. 222 "the French Communist Party, then ultra-Stalinist in orientation. He may have owed some aspects of his political thought and general psychology to that"〕 It nationalized all industries, transformed foreign trade into a government monopoly, brought almost all domestic trade under state control, and banned land sales and transfers. Planners at the newly founded Economic Planning Commission emphasized industrial development and in 1947 the government introduced the Soviet cost-accounting system.
