In 1961 Albania severed their ties with the Soviet Union. The communist dictator Enver Hoxha had been estranged from the U.S.S.R. ever since the new Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev had launched the de-Stalinisation process five years earlier.

He is unable to forgive Hoxha's henchmen, who in turn tell us their consciences are clear. After all, they were only doing their job.
