  • The Fall of communism in Albania started in December 1990 with student demonstrations. March 1991 elections left the former Communists in power, but a general strike and urban opposition led to the formation of a coalition cabinet which included non-Communists. Albania's former Communists were routed in elections in March 1992 amid economic collapse and social unrest. In the Socialist People's Republic of Albania, Enver Hoxha, who ruled Albania for four decades with an iron fist, died on 11 April 1985. In 1989, the first revolts started in Shkodra; where the people wanted to demolish Joseph Stalin's statue; and spread to other cities. Eventually, the existing regime introduced some liberalization, including measures in 1990 providing for freedom to travel abroad. Efforts were begun to improve ties with the outside world. About 5,000 men and 450 women were executed under the rule of Enver Hoxha. 34,135 People were jailed, and 1,000 died in prison. Many families are still looking for the remains of their executed relatives.
