Xhavit Qese’s political career after the end of the War, where he was appointed and served in senior positions in the Albanian Army, the apparatus of the Central Committee of the ALP, and several districts of the country, from where he was sent to study in the Soviet Union, where stayed until 1957, when he was announced to return to Albania urgently, after openly expressing his views in favor of the political line being pursued by the main Kremlin leader, Nikita Khrushchev, condemning the Stalin cult. Enver Hoxha’s conversation with Xhavit Qesen in his office in the Central Committee, where he sharply criticized him for the wrong views he had expressed during his studies in Moscow, urging him to reflect and make self-criticism, but Xhavit rejected the suggestion of the first secretary of the Albanian Labor Party, which caused him to no longer be allowed to go to the Soviet Union to complete his studies, but to be sent to work as deputy chairman of the Elbasan Executive Committee, from where a year later, he was expelled from the Party and exiled to Zvërnec Island, where the communist regime kept isolated some of the former senior party and state cadres whom he had condemned for their anti-party views.

Act-expertise of the Central Forensic Laboratory at the Ministry of Interior, with the decipherment of Xhavit Qesa’s notes, written in the books he sent to his family in Durrës!
THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF ALBANIA “VERY SECRET”
MINISTRY OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS
Central Forensic Laboratory Tirana on 15.5.1966
No. ______ AKT No.76 / 1
On 7.5.1966, from the Vlora Branch of Internal Affairs, with the letter dated 5.5.1966, we were sent for examination a copy of volume 36 of the works “K. Marks and F. Engels “, Russian edition” Politizdat – Moscow 1964 “.
The experiment is asked to determine whether or not in this book, which the internee Xhavit Qesja sends to his family in Durrës, there are secret notes of the nature of the code.
During the technical examination of this book, it was found that in many of its pages there are frequent underlining of words and phrases, the content of which does not have the character of quotations or special and important extracts of the text where they are underlined.
It was also found that all the page numbers of the book which have been underlined differently, are marked on the last two pages divided into 42 groups, with conventional names for each group, such as: ‘Balkans’,’ England ‘,’ Military ‘,’ Justice ‘,’ Village ‘,’ World Market ‘. etc.
Combined chronologically, the book’s footnotes do not constitute any text with a definite, clear or implied meaning. On the contrary, connected as after the groups marked in the last pages of the book by Xhavit Qesja himself, the underlined notes form a certain text, with a rather dubious character.
For illustration, we are listing below the translation into Albanian of the underlined notes of the pages that are summarized in the group “Man”.
In this way, only here can the theoretical work continue smoothly. In every other country I would have to take part in practical agitation and spend for that amount. In the field of practical agitation, I would do no more than any other man who could replace me and Marx.
Kautskci, the only one who studies diligently, is forced to write in order to earn a living and that is why he is unable to do anything… and this is exactly what cannot be avoided from the loss of clear bot meaning… of course, if those times were to come again, as in 1848 or 1849, I would again ride the horse (occupy the steering seat), in case this is necessary.
As for the monument to Marx, I’m right; I do not know what to do. The family is against this… They consider ……., To replace the simple tombstone he’s made for the woman, in which Marx’s names are now listed…, with the monument here in London, will to be slightly distinguishable between the monuments of the Philistines surrounding it.
But there is no other way, whoever started the work must lead it to the end, otherwise the spent effort will go in vain.
What you say about the Libretto is probably your previous opinion. We have known him for many years. The popularity he has gained is for him the condition of existence. In addition he is by nature optimistic and sees all things in the red light. Thanks to this feature, he is active and this is the main cause of his popularity, but in this lays his dark side (weak side).
My letters to him, indeed, have often been harsh, but this harshness was conditioned by the content of his letters. No one knew this better than Marx …… In addition, Libkhnet does not know how to wait.
It takes a lot of work …… but I enjoy this job because I’m back with my old friend.
Bershtein, is improving well, he is trying to learn, he is smart and possesses clear thoughts, he is capable of accepting criticism and he is free from any dose of micro-bourgeois morality.
This is exactly the wonderful situation of our young people, that the masses are much better than all the leaders and now that the law against the socialists forces the masses to act on their own, while the influence of the leaders is reduced to a minimum, now the movement is better than ever …… and he can now discuss more secretly and calmly with courage….! The chances of revolutionary revolution. This Sunday we drank for him, for his health and wished him more bravery and patience.
Mavri, could rage, but never demoralize! Mavri’s life without the international would be a diamond ring, from which the diamond has been removed.
He should have fully collected all the materials, until the last day, and now all this is not worth anything, except for the notes where one should hope that there are many remarks, criticisms, which are valid for commenting on the second volume.
You ask how it happened that I do not know anything… very simple. In case I knew this, I would not leave it alone day and night until the book was finished and printed. And Marx understood this better than anyone, but he also knew that, in a bad situation, which now also happened, the manuscript could have been published by me in his own stream about this he also told Tus.
I think that these gentlemen should be given the opportunity to show themselves, let them formulate more clearly how they understand, not once should we prevent people from expressing their stupidity “completely and completely”, only then you have nowhere to go kapesh. I hope your article pushes them in this direction.
I told Kautsky that although we cannot understand Marx’s style, it is nonetheless necessary that our style should not be quite the exact opposite of his style. Concentrating on this attention and our work will turn out well, so much so that we will not be ashamed to show it.
These talkers – students, principals, etc. – are the flame for the movement. They know nothing and that is why they do not want to learn anything, their so-called socialism – it is an empty phrase and nothing else.
Under popular conditions I could accept bargains with people who are not entirely in revolutionary-communist positions, if they are worth it, but in no way do we join them.
Had he been more careful in some theoretical matters, he would have become the torchbearer in Paris, in this torchbearer city.
In Paris a kind of Central Committee will be formed, which will decide (decide) issues for the admission of new members and for these or those actions and then it will happen that I am in an organization with people against whom I have to make a determined fight, or I will be responsible for actions I can never put myself in such a position!
Marx never once spoke of self-terrorism, as you know, he hated it.
They at least want to learn, even though that desire is not always on the right track. But the worst lies in the fact that this small clique of people, who are publicly given after praising each other (mutual), and secretly, at least in part, slandering each other.
In such a work there is nothing worse than standing up, decisions made with warmth, always seem to us extremely heroic and amazing, but that rule, leads to stupidity, for which I have tried hundreds of times with experience my.
The only person I spoke to about this problem is Mini and she is fully of the opinion, which I put forward above.
… And for this only you can inform me or propose me the decision taken “.
Based on these data, we can conclude that the internee Xhavit Qesja, through the underlining of words and phrases he has done in the pages of the 36th volume of the works “K. Marx and F. Engels”, to whom he addresses his family in Durrës, expresses his political and ideological views and uses them as a means to secretly liaise with various persons outside his place of isolation.
To this end, we think that this book should be temporarily banned and studied in this regard in more detail.
