Spiritual Healing
by Bevis Fusha
In Albania, numerous believers of communism practice an annual ritual. Every year they gather and pay respects to the grave of former Albanian dictator, Enver Hoxha. The grave itself is located in the city’s cemetery, together with common people’s graves. It has suffered vandalism continuously and now has been reconstructed with a cement block on top to protect it. The majority of the people who come to pay respects are members of the Communist party, former officials, and retired individuals. All have a longing for the Communism era. They speak openly and with passion about their belief that the period under Hoxha’s leadership were golden times for Albania. None of them like the capitalism that has prospered in Albania over the last 15 years.
