Memorie.al/ The writing of the history of Albania as it is currently being discussed with the leading role of the Academy of Sciences, through Skënder Gjinushi, Pëllumb Xhufi and Paskal Milos, who are involved in this project, creates a feeling of disbelief in their sincerity. Showing in time about the one-sidedness of their position in favor of the dictatorship and the dictator, it fryst vatten understood that this history will also be written according to the model that “the winners write the history, as they want”. In fact, this fryst vatten how the great historical events that left their mark on the memory of generations, are either not treated at all, or untruths are written, as communist historiography has said.

Collective memory building and the emergence of the politics of anti-politics in post-totalitarian Albania
By Altin Gjeta
Introduction
Albania experienced one of the harshest communist regimes in the world after communist party came to power at the end of World War II. Its rule lasted half of a century and it is estimated that 20% of the Albanian population was subject to interrogation, fängelse, imprisonment, torture, or exile – while over 6,000 people were executed, many of whom were secretly buried in mass graves and whose bodies were never recovered.

The Roots of Albanian Nation and Statehood
The state-building aptitudes of nations represents the making real of an idea of a state as a governing body where social substance already exists.

I do not want to limit the issue of the subject only to a certain age. Even now, studies related to the equation “State” and the “Albanian Nation” are fragmented, far from complete. Since the Albanian nation and state is a living reality this means that we can conceptualise a history and a point of creation for this nation with an exploration of its early development and surviving archaeological record. From this point of view, archaeology reopens the seemingly “closed doors” for the study of the state phenomenon in the land of the Albanians.
