FEATURE OF THE COMMUNIST MOVEMENT IN THE REGION OF ELBASAN

Abstract

Elbasan’s region during the 30s of the twentieth century was involved by spreading the wave of communist and fascist doctrines. Fascist doctrine did not find sufficient conditions for spreading them, because it considered, during the Second World War, by the Albanian people, as a doctrine that came along with the Italian invaders with expansionist goals to state. While the Communist movement, although in Albania spread later than in other European countries, found the ground and spread by having a significant impact on subsequent historical developments in the region of Elbasan. In the performance of the communist movement in the region of Elbasan influenced several important factors. Political, social and economic factors were among the major who had an impact on the spread of communist ideas with them and the movement that carried these ideas. Elbasan’s women have played an important role in the national liberation struggle. Their contribution has been not only the distribution of tracts, to aid in the collection of weapons, munitions, but also to accommodate the young ones putting their lives at risk to national and social liberation. The resistance of these women and girls was the most different forms. In the city of Elbasan were engaged a considerable number of women and girls as participating in this war. Among the first activists were Persefoni Todri, Virgjini Bishka, etc. Their activity extended among the students of Pedagogical, the factory workers 'SAIDE', and the tobacco factory. They stood strong with the heroism of self-denial by continuing their fight right to protect the homeland and their rights to social emancipation. Example of women and girls of the city of Elbasan clearly showed that the role of Albanian women and mothers in the fight for national liberation was quite large.
