Summary/Abstract: King Zog I (1895-1961), and the communist leader Enver Hoxha (1908-1985) were without doubt the most charismatic figures of the Albanian politics in the twentieth century, whose personal rule dominated the country and kept it under strict control. However, the cult of personality of the two leaders had of course their own features. They derived mainly from the specific historical periods where they lived and ruled, from the political system they represented and from the very character of the personage.
