Today it is 37 years after Enver Hoxha's death. For some he headed Albania in honor for 40 years, while for the rest, Hoxha ruled Albania during this period.

Although Hoxha still enjoys special sympathy both in Albania and in Kosovo, the 40-year period of his leadership was marked by the elimination of the opposition, the sentences of his political opponents to death or long imprisonments, and the expulsions of their families from their homes and their exiles to remote villages, where they were strictly controlled by police and State Security.

Enver Hoxha was born on October 16, 1908 in the neighbourhood “Palorto”, Gjirokastra. He was Albania's communist leader from 1944 to his death in 1985, as First Secretary of the Albanian Labour Party. He was chairman of Albania's Democratic Front and commander-in-chief of the armed forces from 1944 to his death. He served as Albanian prime minister, 1944-1954, and at different times served as foreign minister and defence minister.

In recent years, Hodge was burdened with diabetes that had been diagnosed many years earlier, and he had a heart attack in 1972, and then another in 1973, these two heart attacks still aggravated his health. The beginning of April will also mark the end of his life, after his feet and mouth have been paralyzed, he has a poem on April 9, 1985, and he dies two days later.

He was buried with a grand ceremony in the tomb of the martyrs, where he was honored as any leader. But after the fall of Communism, his tomb moved to the cemetery in Sharra, where it is today.

Immediately after the death of First PPS Secretary Enver Hoxha, his successor leader Ramiz Alia at the meeting of the Political Bureau proposes that at the centre of Tirana and its home in Gjirokastra be raised from September to September, the University of Tirana is named Enver Hoxha, the main port of Durres, and many plants and hydro plants took its name.

And Enver Week was created, which was always celebrated on the occasion of his birthday by working with higher efficiency to overcome the plan. Hoxha's monument was inaugurated in 1988 and was 8m high. He was ousted on February 20th 1991 by protesters, and his fall also symbolises the fall of communism in Albania.
