Uncommon card · No. 105255

The Party of Labour of Albania (Albanian: Partia e Punës e Shqipërisë, PPSh), was the ruling and sole legal party of Albania during the communist period (1944–1991). It was founded on 8 November 1941 as the Communist Party of Albania (Partia Komuniste e Shqipërisë, PKSh) but changed its name in 1948 following a recommendation by Joseph Stalin. The party dissolved on 13 June 1991 and refounded itself as the Socialist Party of Albania. For most of its existence, the party was dominated by its first leader, Enver Hoxha, who was also the leader of Albania from 1944 until his death in 1985.
