The only good thing about Enver Hoxha is that he pretty much destroyed Islam in Albania during his rule, so that modern-day Albania is pretty much secular.

I once heard a lecture about an archaeological site in Albania, Butrint, near the Greek border. Enver Hoxha was very proud of the excavation and when Nikita Khrushchev came to visit Albania, insisted on taking him there. (Khrushchev could not have cared less.) Because the site has poisonous snakes, workers were told to kill all the snakes they could find, but no one thought to tell them to get rid of the carcasses. So when Khrushchev visited the site, there were a lot of dead snakes laying around.
