  AllRefer.com - Albania - Albania's Communist Party | Albanian Information Resource
Albania's communist party, in early 1992, was in a state of transition, and its future remained uncertain.
Known from 1941 to 1948 as the Albanian Communist Party, from November 1948 as the Albanian Party of Labor (APL), and from June 1991 as the Socialist Party of Albania (SPA), the communist party was organized along lines similar to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
The Ninth Party Congress of the APL was convened in November 1986, with 1,628 delegates in attendance.

 CER | Book review | Post-Communist Party Systems
Party politics, of course, are a staple of political science, but, as the authors note, it has only been studied in a schematic way in the third-wave democracies, that is those that have arisen since the mid-1970s.
Given the importance of parties to democracy—despite the claims of some Eastern European theorists of anti-politics—such an analysis is essential to understanding not just the durability of these democracies (the focus of most analyses to date), but also a frequently ignored factor: their quality.
The main problem appears to be the continued appeal of the unreformed Communist party and the unwillingness of centrist parties to cooperate with the democratic left.

Brzezinski's attitude toward the "constitutional order" in Bulgaria before 1944 In Bulgaria, the Communist Party had the advantage of having enjoyed some measure of popularity in the past and was not handicapped, as in the cases of Poland, Rumania, and Hungary, by nationalist anti-Russian feelings.

 Bulgarian Communist Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bulgarian Communist Party (Balgarska Komunisticeska Partija) was the ruling party of the People's Republic of Bulgaria from 1946 until 1990 when the country ceased to be a Communist state.
The Bulgarian Communist Party had dominated the Fatherland Front coalition that took power in 1944, late in World War II, after it led a coup against Bulgaria's fascist government in conjunction with the Red Army's crossing the border.
The party's origins lay in the Social Democratic and Labour Party of Bulgaria, known as the Tesnyaki (Tesni socialisti), which was founded in 1903 after a split in the Social-Democratic Party.
