Summary/Abstract: The Liberation of Albania found the country with a backward economy, inherited from the past, but even ruined by the a war. The numerous problems would be resolved by the chosen and applied alternative. The state coming into power choose the model of the East, basing on the Marxist-Leninist doctrine applied in the Soviet Union, thus it was excluded the political and economic pluralism, dwnying the alternative of the capitalist development. The points of view of Sejfulla Malëshova, too, in the Second Plenum of the CC of the ALP of November 23, 1944, as well those of the IV-th Plenum of the CC of the ALP in October 1945 were rejected as unacceptable for Albania. The representatives of the bourgeoisie thought that Albania after the war had to enter the democratic-bourgeois way of development, with a pluralist socialist order, developing some rapid reforms for a quick economic recovery, and with foreign policy connecting the state with all the states, but especially with the western ones. A hot-tempered theme of those days was the question of the creation of the political parties, especially for the elections of December 2, 1945. As result of the foreign western pressure it was approved the bill for the participation in the elections even of other political parties, which would be created up to then, a law, which the ACP, with its measure, made impossible to put into practice. The efforts of Gjergj Kokoshi 6 and of his followers and of Shefqet Beja with the Group of the Deputies, who created opposition anticommunist organizations as the “Democratic Union” and the “National-democratic” against the communist regime, failed. The alternatives offered by the Yugoslavs for closer with Yugoslavia, were the CP of the SU. The decisions of the V-th Plenum of the CC of the CPA of February 1946 not only fought against the viewpoints of S. Malëshova, but determined also dhe only alternative which put forward the CPA for the development of the country, that of the way of socialism.
