Dossier by Fatos Veliu/ Orhan Jegeni: The story of my uncles’ execution without trial The bomb in the Soviet embassy spared not even the relatives of the Minister of the Interior A not very powerful explosion that occurred in the courtyard of the former embassy of the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was enough to send 22 condemned people to be shot. This was the event that took place years earlier, precisely on 19 February 1951, when relations between our two communist states were at the height of their splendor.

Por jehona e saj, për vetë përmasat e kundërveprimit që do të merrej, nuk do të ndalonte as me një vit dhe as me një pesëvjeçar. Për periudha tepër të gjata ajo u kujtua dhe ngeli e freskët në mendjet e njerëzve, si ditë e vështirë dhe shumë e zezë, derisa mundi të hyntë fuqishëm në historinë komplekse të Shqipërisë. Në atë periudhë është alarmuar udhëheqja më e lartë e shtetit komunist,... Në faqet 10-11
