An anti-communist demonstration was organized in Shkod\u00ebr. Thousands of citizens of Shkodra gathered in the center of the city and protested silently. Their goal was to topple Stalin’s bust. This effort was the signal of other anti-communist actions. The event was commented on and covered by foreign media, such as: BBC World Service, RAI, VOA – Voice of America. This gathering had been planned for days. The initiators had notified many citizens, so that they would join the protest and its dimensions would be larger. The movements of the organizers had not escaped the State Security, which was aware of such a gathering, considering them “enemy elements inspired by the events in Eastern European countries”.
