Abstract

The paper analyses Soviet influence in Albanian education and culture from 1949–196. In pursuit of its objectives during the Cold War, the Soviet Union sought to foster a sense of unity across the various elements of society in the Eastern Bloc and satellite states, with the ultimate goal of creating a cohesive and integrated Soviet society. This article uses published archival materials and unpublished and rarely studied records from the State Archives of Albania. As a result, Albanian education and culture were built around the Soviet model and contributed to the Sovietization of Albanian society to immerse Albanians in Russia’s cultural and artistic values. Such values had an enduring impact on future generations of Albanians.
