This publication is the result of a collaboration between the authors and the Konrad Adenauer Foundation in Albania, aimed at supporting pre-university education in Albania with primary source materials on the communist period. The book presents a documented overview of the establishment of the communist regime, political persecution, show trials, propaganda, indoctrination, and everyday life under dictatorship.
Designed as an extracurricular resource for history teachers and students, it brings forward authentic documents from state archives and secondary sources to fill the gaps found in official school textbooks. This publication serves as a valuable educational tool for gaining a deeper understanding of Albania’s history from 1945 to 1990.
