Albania's leader who made isolation and self-reliance state policy

The 1961 rupture with the USSR showed how far a small socialist state could take an ideological break.

He led Albania's communists and anti-occupation resistance, founding the postwar people's republic. He broke diplomatic relations with the USSR in 1961 and later with China, pursuing an independent Stalinist line.
