30.09.2024, Albania, Vlora, Saranda - Bunkers from the era of the Peopleís Socialist Republic of Albania in front of a hotel on the Adriatic coast, later adorned with an antique-looking cannon. The paranoid dictator Enver Hoxha led Albania into total isolation during his reign (1946ñ1985). He feared an attack from both NATO and the Warsaw Pact, from which the country withdrew in 1968. He had up to 200,000 bunkers built throughout Albania in the 1960s through the 1980s, which incurred enormous costs. 00A240930D1101CAROEX.JPG [MODEL RELEASE: NO, PROPERTY RELEASE: NO (c) caro images / Bastian, www.caro-images.com, [email protected] - In case of using the picture for any purpose, please contact the agency - the picture is subject to royalty!]
