This project aims to trace a social and political history of the Albanian Communist Party [Partia Komuniste Shqiptare – PKSh], in a period of time ranging from its foundation on 8 November 1941, until the seizure of power on 28 November 1944. Adopting an interdisciplinary and comparative approach, a deconstruction of the PKSh in the indicated period will be carried out, analyzing at the same time the partisan resistance led by it.
