A project conceived by O Presence Office The SEU in Tirana, in co-operation with Albanian Public Television Radio, will bring ahead of viewers in the coming days and months, a long cycle of TV documentaries, whose production has begun since September of this year.

Word-based project from O The SEU, and announced for application since July, is entitled “Face the Past” and is implemented under the direct care of Albanian Radio-Television General Director Thomas Glci.

The winners of this application, which has competed with a few journalists, screenwriters, directors, producers, etc., are two renowned journalists, Dasnor Kalucci and Monica Shoshori Stafa, who for years, both in the written media and the visual media, on the focus of their work have had different writings, shows and documentaries, primarily of the period of the communist regime's regime of Enver Hoxha and the whiteening of that regime.

According to the designers and organisers of this project, this documentary cycle is aimed at “Foreview of Collective Memory” and seeks to shed light and illuminate some of the unknown or the most spectacular events that took place during the nearly 45-year period of Enver Hoxha's communist regime in Albania, perceiving our society on what it spent for nearly 45 years under that dictatorial system.

The topics in this cycle of documentaries receive and rely, such as in history and events with well - known characters, such as: Close associates of Albania's communist dictatorship Enver Hoxha, whom he tolerated physically, but also in very simple and completely unknown people, upon whom charges of being and peace were brought, with facts and facts, and no facts, or and clean institutions like things common in dictatorial countries and totalitarian societies.

This, so the project in question, is done in order that the new generation, which has not lived that time but also a large part of the Albanian society that has not been able, or rather is unable to get acquainted with certain events or phenomena that you carried on almost the entire period of communist rule in Albania, be familiar with those events, as a survey conducted several months ago by the Konrad Adenhauer Foundation and O's office The SEU in Tirana, the younger generation had very little knowledge, or at all, of the communist regime of the first years, the 90s.

According to Dasnor Kalucci and Monica Shoshori Stafa, the two co-authors who along with their staff are accomplishing this project, from this documentary cycle, the first to start broadcasting from Albanian Public Television Radio, is titled, “Alexander Kondi, the sad fate of a dream”, which was broadcast yesterday evening at 20 and 30, on RTS channel 1.

This is a documentary about the life and career of the talented former economist and the legend of Albanian weightlifting of the 1980s, Alexander Kond, who in 1985 exploited the European Weightlifting Championship that was under way in Poland, and on the return with the team, fled to the former Yugoslavia and then to the United States, where he lost his life two years later, in still unclear circumstances.

In this regard, Kalucci says:

“We have been struggling and rebuilding chronologically, almost the major moments of life, sports career and tragic event that Alexander Kondov lost his life, as well as the persecution the entire Kond family suffered after his escape.

All of this is built on the evidence of some of the team's friends and trainers, like. Asim Belinova, Elez Joza, Agron Hadziysen, Gudar Beqiray, Ferit Berberi, Ajet Toska etc, his family's people (Vandjeli father and sister Valentina), as well as others who have known Alexander and their family, both in Tirana and during the time of exile in Marthas.

All of these, with their interviews, bring new and unknown evidence of Kondova until the moment of his escape to Titograd.

One of the most interesting evidence in this documentary is that of honoring Kupi, former US political immigrant since the 1950s when he fled Albania, who has been the first person Alexander Kondov has communicated with on the phone since Yugoslavia, during the days he expected the status of the political asylumr.

Mr. Cup, who has served in the United States for nearly 25 years at the Office of the High Refugees Commissioner (for South East Europe), also testifies to the failed attempt at the kidnapping of Kondova in Yugoslavia by two Kosovar brothers who were sent exclusively by Albanian State Security mission.

So does Mr. The Cup also relates his friendship with Condence in the United States, where he helped stabilize with residence and work until the event of the fatal accident where he lost his life under still unexplained circumstances, about which it is spoken and shed light on this <x0 documentary.

According to the two coauthors of the project in question, Kalucci and Stifa, after this document, will continue broadcasting with other documentaries like p. p.:“Freedom Cave” (dedicated to former colonel and MP Haxhi Hajdar Mani, who at the order of Mehmet Shehu, was executed by artillery in March 1963 in the Cave of Rolling, “Gina rescue, the mysteries of an escape codenamed“ (designed to the playwright, screenwriter, vibrist and writer Shrimim Gina, who drowned in the Drjat River near Mamurras in 1974, under unclear circumstances yet), “The Thracians of a brutal time” (dedicated to the so-called “hostile groups in the Economy “with Avdy Kelzin, Kocohoodsin, Nçejel Katin, etc., where the two family's rifled prime minister died in their mutual torture “, with the Erdoculus fucilues, and the self-deficipatated Baldevanistovic/Ch fuciman, the self-defucimantivedeteman, the self-defufufufuciman, the self-defucipiment of the self-defuvedumumumumumumumuticus fud

So are some other documentaries that have been produced or are under way, in which, in addition to footage, evidence, fact, interviews and data before cameras, all have been supported on archive documents.
