		Mehmet Shehu (Çorush, 10 januari 1913 – Tirana, 17 december 1981) was een Albanees politicus.
		Het wordt echter aangenomen dat Shehu in opdracht van Enver Hoxha werd vermoord, omdat hij zich tegen het isolationisme van Hoxha keerde.

		They began to concentrate primarily on securing and maintaining their power base, and secondarily on preserving Albania's independence and reshaping the country according to the precepts of orthodox Stalinism (Stalinism: A form of government in which the ruler is an absolute dictator (not restricted by a constitution or laws or opposition etc.)).
		In pursuit of these goals, Hoxha and Shehu used a combination of means including propaganda (propaganda: Information that is spread for the purpose of promoting some cause) and political repression (political repression: political repression means the restriction of the abilities of certain groups of people to...
		Hoxha and Shehu were also alarmed at the prospect that Moscow (Moscow: A city of central European Russia; formerly capital of both the Soviet Union and Soviet Russia; since 1991 the capital of the Russian Federation) might prefer less dogmatic rulers in Albania.

		Actually, that debate was initiated several days before the appearance of the phantasm of the former Prime Minister Mehmet Shehu (who had committed a suicide), one of the central figures of the communist dictatorship and a man known for his iron fist rule.
		Moreover, the National Historic Museum in Tirana organised a ceremony in his honour, which was also attended by two highly placed officials of the ruling Socialist Party and a military advisor of the President of the Republic.
		However, for the Foreign Ministry officials and Socialist officials who had gone to pay their respects to Mehmet Shehu, these events should be viewed as simple re-evaluation of history and not as a positive analysis of the communist regime figures.

		The next most influential political figure was Mehmet Shehu, who became prime minister when Hoxha relinquished this post in July 1954.
		Hoxha's efforts to impose a rigid, repressive political and government structure on Albania met with little active resistance until the country's declining standard of living and poor economic performance led to such dissatisfaction that unrest began to spread in 1965-66.
		Although Prime Minister Shehu had been regarded as the second most powerful leader, especially because he had significant support in the police and military, Hoxha decided against naming him as his successor.

		The rumoured story (and it is impossible to verify) has it that Hoxha and Shehu were having a drink of cognac when the chief of the Sigurimi and two burly lieutenants burst in.
		The thugs held Shehu down, but the chief refused to pull the trigger on a man who was an icon deferential only to Stalin and Hoxha himself.
		There was almost no doubt who was in charge, but he liked to give the impression that he had sacrificed his life for his country and now wanted to spend his dotage reliving his youth.

	The Successor
		Shehu was, until shortly before his death, Enver Hoxha's right-hand man. Shehu was a commander of a Communist-led partisan brigade during the Second World War and had a reputation for brutality that led to his promotion to a division commander of the National Liberation Army.
		As is often the case being "Number 2" was a precarious perch to sit on in regimes where aging tyrants (Stalin and Hoxha both come to mind) often struck out at those closest to them as their own mortality seemed to weaken them.
		Shehu's death and the speculation as to the cause of his death form the heart of Kadare's "The Successor".

	Post-War Albania
		The actual story of communist Albania is, however, quintessentially dystopian, a bleak inventory of bloody purges and repression, a case study in betrayal and obsessive xenophobia, a cacophony of bitter polemics with real and fantasized enemies that the outside world barely took time to notice.
		After five years of party infighting and extermination campaigns against the country's anticommunist opposition, Enver Hoxha and Mehmet Shehu emerged as the dominant figures in Albania.
		Hoxha and Shehu dominated Albania and denied the Albanian people the most basic human and civil rights by presenting themselves, as well as the communist party and state security apparatus they controlled, as the vigilant defenders of the country's independence.

		Yet an introductory note by Kadare states that the resemblance of the characters and circumstances in the book to real individuals and events is "inevitable." As will be seen, it is genuinely fictional, but in a way destined to be overlooked by most non-Albanians.
		Kadare presents the death of Shehu as a mystery, and the primary enigma is whether Shehu killed himself or was murdered.
		A number of potential suspects are introduced, ranging from the dictator to the dead man's wife, and from a potential successor to the Successor to an architect working on the Successor's residence.

		After his death, the entire Shehu clan was arrested, persecuted or simply eliminated in a public display of gjakmarrje (revenge killings).
		Using eyewitness reports, among them Bashkim Shehu's, Kadare brilliantly recreates the atmosphere of shadowy fear, rumours and recrimination in Albania during the early Eighties, when Nexhmije Hoxha appeared to be running the troubled Balkan outpost singlehandedly.
		In an extraordinary chapter, the deceased Mehmet Shehu speaks from his grave of Albania's fate after 1985 when Enver Hoxha died.

		Even in old age, Hoxha was capable of the ruthless slaughter of former close comrades like Mehmet Shehu, the prime minister, who killed himself or was "suicided" in 1981.
		(Shehu was himself a murderer of considerable bloodthirstiness, but his fall drew in innocent victims as well as fellow former servants of the regime.)4
		The chief beneficiary of Hoxha's last murderous purge was Ramiz Alia who replaced Mehmet Shehu as the heir-apparent and in fact succeeded his mentor in April, 1985.

		Stalin's death in 1953 and the leadership change in the Soviet Union also threatened Hoxha's rule, which dutifully was altered to conform to the principle of collective leadership, with Mehmet Shehu, Hoxha's ally, becoming prime minister.
		Albania's insecurity was eased somewhat in 1955 with its entrance into the Warsaw Pact, but Hoxha and Shehu were fearful of the de-Stalinization promised by Khrushchev's speech at the 20th Party Congress in 1956.
		Moscow apparently prompted an attempted takeover of the Albanian government in 1960, which was foiled and ended in a show trial of the traitors in May 1961.

		He came back into public life in December 1991 when he was appointed the Minister of Defense in Vilson Ahmeti's government consisting of experts, preceding the first democratically elected parliament in post-Communist Albania.
