  1. @awlelwa Well I don't think it was without lack of trying on the Soviets part. Basically from what I understand, Hoxha and the party in Albania were fearful of Yugoslav invasion, distrustful of post-Stalin USSR because Hoxha thought that the /Soviets/ thought Albania was too dogmatic in its socialism. So the guy turned his eyes east for allies, which probably created problems with the USSR and Yugoslavia where there previously was nothing besides paranoia. No wonder Hoxha built 1 bunker per 4 Albanians, the dude was terrified of getting sandwiched.
