Twenty years of living together is a long enough period in the'

life of amp couple. And it is natural that the loss of one member

has an effect on the other, -

In the specific case of Enver-Ratite, this cohabitation, bee,

besides its qualitative side (a period of 20 years), its quantitative =

side (a period of turbulence that automatically loins the couple in

symbiosis more strongly).

In this compaction, it is worth stressing that the first stage of

this symbiosis belongs to the last years of the occupation end the

partizan wary the second stage belongs to the difficult years for

Enter ten (1945-1948) Yugoslav pressure, always rising, was aiming

at his replacement in the No 1 poet of the Albanian Cammudst Party

with goal Imam in this second stage, the support, chiefly moral, of

Flmcbmije to Enter, her spouse, has been enotradrdinarily important

,(it was being said in this connection in Tirana that at that time

"Tbe letters of the Central Committee of the Communist Party (Bolshevik)

of the U3SR Concerning the Situation in the Yugoslav Communiet Pea-Ur," -

which preceded the resolution of June 1948 and the Belgrade -Moscov

schima and which were handed in a confidential and secret manner

to Enter Hosts by the Soviet ambassador in Albania, were made known

indetailbyEnverIkedatohie wife a long time before they became

known to the Central Committee of the Albanian Communist Partn itwas determined‘ that time in Tirana that Enver made those Letters

known first to his wife, that is, Nembnije, second to Mehmet Sheba

and Bedri Spahiu, and third, he laid them officially and openlyCIICU I

eee

before the Central Committee for discussion). The third stage

includes the absolute triumph of Enver Borba over loci Tome, that is,

the time that passed frost the First Congress of tint Party, but at the

same time, this stage includes also the rivalry of Enver %As and

•Mehmet Shahs (in this connection it is worth stressing that eMe)metist"

elements have never bden received or placed in the apparatus of the

Propaganda ant agitation. of the Central Committee, which has been

continually directed by Nexhmije Heaths, in fact they have been

parpoesly kept far away from this important Directorate). The foam%

stage belongs to the period that began with the Tirana-Moecov schism

and in this period, naturally, the Hccoba-Shelza rivalry, understandably,

loess its intensity. (Also in. this phase, all indications show that

Nexhadja has,reemined at the side of her husband.)

In the Eirrer-Nexlmaje symbiosis, in my opinion, the stronger element,

the, more powerful member has been Enver. And this because of his more

outstanding personality.

Tinder the mask sae bonhomie," Enter has always concealed [that he

is] an Anatolian diplomat with great capability to maneuver among the

parties, a politician of extreme solutions nth, although weak [7] in

appearance, he, that is, Enter, has abeam' been a man of bold decisional

(without having the excitability and capriciousness of )4ehmeth Le.

the break in relations with Mukja during the weir; the abandonment of

Tito and the open war against him; the last schism with Mosdow,— all

these are attributed primarily to Enver le insistence.

-

On her part, his wife Matadi' has never been so much a person

of bo/d actions; rather than a wean of action, she has been a person

dip soon yields to the pressures of others; rather than a leader in

real polities -- a business wean -- perhaps (she has been] the most

intellectual woman that the Albanian Comaronist Party has had. 17rammally

self-taught, she in very fond of books. Durirrg the second stage,

the story goes, Nashije Duna had taken annoyer, was a member of

the Central Committee, end the "Benjamin" [favorite] of Loci Iwo;

also at the time of the Tiream-Hoectni schism, some data show that

both she and Sh)hmet t s wife (Piveto Sheht) were shaken am/ showed sign*

of fear and absoiescing their posts.

As a conclusion, one repeat* that in the inveranimije symbiosis,

Enver was the decisive member of the pair.

Hence, I do not believe that the eventual loss of Nexhmije will

bring outstanding changes in Moses position, so much the more since

the latter, basically, is not very much of a sentimental man. The

outstanding characteristic of Enver U the disproportionate adoration

of his "ego." This *ego " doee . not leave much room for others;:-although

these others include his spouse with Yamaha has lived together for 20

whole years, through days good and bad, troubled end peacefUl, dangerous

and triumphant.

However, the loss of Nexhmije will have some offset, even at second

or third hand, on the person of Enver.

it a circle of intrigues and rivalries, divergencies and enmities, open or

concealed, personal ambitions and passions, jealousies and "cupidityt.

Enver Ally ally had to open his heart somethmes, sometimes to be

supported morally, sometimes to mourn his plight or to discuss his plans

and desires. Amore suitable person than his wife, that Is, Nembeije,

could not be found., Let us not forget in this connection the well known

, psychological factor, bed, darkness, and feeling of oneness. It is •

quite natural, then, that Nexhmije has been for 20 years the complete

personal "confessor of Enver, the depository full of his secrets.

The retry nature of Nexhmije seemed to help Enter make confessions.

In truth, in ray opinion, Neshmije Naost has been a most meek person with

understanding and comprehension for the troubles of others. In the

biograPhy that I have given previously about her , person, fled noted

among other things: "Consider how one of the most liberal members of

the Central Comedttee... polite andapproachable...different from most

of her colleagues, enjoyed a kind of fellow feeling ("sympathy") among

CommOniste who knew her for her meekness.. .end has many intellectual

merits.".

This trait of Nerimije --- meekness, although it did not influence

her husband, had a kind of influence, hoverer ahmall, on the acts and

position &the latter. When peopli live together fur a long time, their

receive something, kkvever small, from one another and they make, however

small, mutual concessions in this or that area.

With the dieappearanoe of Nexhmije, / think therefore that the

wildness present in Enver t s (intrisek) character will become even sore

marked.

• 4 •

Perhaps, in the absence of a person who was very close to him

(with the eventual disappearance of Nembmije), he will seek elsewhere

some moral ard psychological =met. NatnrelY, Just now, in the

immediate future, I personally exclude the possibility that Sneer

will seek this support in a woman. Certainly, at his Present ale

of over 50, his children by Nextmlje remain for him (3 boys?, the

sliest of wkdoh is about 15 years), But children, especially when

they are small, ten never fill such an emptiness.

The person from whoa, in Wf opinion, Raver will seek in the

immediate future psychological support is Helmet. Lod naturally,

the /attar will do what he can to profit frr a situation favorable

-to him.

./tass, then, if the above-mentioned hypothesis is accepted as

correct, the eventual death of Nesitmlie will have as • canaequenCe

the bringing of Enver into closest contact with Helmet' (not Mehmet

with Surer).

Is for the agitprop apparatus in the Central Ocsmdttee, I think

that this apparatus (Central Directorate of Agitprop) even without

the presence of lkohnije will continue to remain an organ of Rover's•
