This is a video about the Socialist People's Republic of Albania, a state that lasted for half a century and epitomised an isolationist and quasi-xenophobic foreign policy. While today Albania is open to the world and nominally democratic, despite its issues with corruption, in the mid to late 20th century it was ruled by a paranoid tyrant akin only to North Korea's Kim Il Sung - this video intends to shed some light on this relatively unknown period of European history and specifically the life and disposition of one of the most brutal dictators Europe has ever seen.

There's so much more meat to this topic that I unfortunately didn't have time to cover, like Hoxha's prohibition of religious organisation within Albania and his innumerable purges - if you'd like to read more into this subject you'll find plenty of great sources in the script above.
