Stanislav Škoda's interview with Çelo Hoxha: On the crimes of the Albanian communist regime, redressing grievances and preserving historical memory

Summary/Abstract: The interview with Çelo Hoxha, director of the Institute for the Study of Communist Crimes and Consequences in Albania, delves into the brutal nature of the Albanian communist regime, comparing it to Orwell's dystopia in "1984." Hoxha discusses the regime's rise to power, the extensive persecution and execution of political opponents, and the ongoing challenges in addressing past injustices. He highlights the regime's systematic repression, including deportations, internments, and the destruction of the economic base of political adversaries. The interview also covers the regime's alliances with Yugoslavia, the Soviet Union, and China, and the subsequent isolation of Albania. Hoxha's work, including his controversial book on communist crimes during WWII, has faced significant backlash from political figures and the public. Despite these challenges, he continues to advocate for the recognition and punishment of communist crimes and the preservation of historical memory.
