The article discusses the impact of the so-called de-Stalinization program of former Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev in Albania in 1956. It examines the internal dynamics of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), a speech delivered by Khrushchev at the Twentieth Congress of the CPSU, and the Tirana Party Conference in Albania in April 1956. The article discusses the policies and platforms of the Party of Labor of Albania (PPSh), particularly the role of the party's first secretary, Enver Hoxha. It analyzes what the author asserts were tensions between Albania and the Soviet Union and within the Communist Party.
