How did the State Security intercept and guard the Albanian scientists?
Time without greed, time with news without news! Time when it was hard to understand and be understood, especially when the Security followed your breathing, especially when you were dealing with science. How did the State Security intercept and guard the Albanian scientists? What was reported and written about them in secret reports? How and why did Sigurimi disappear some of them and keep others? Who was censored and self-censored? Did State Security deal with Science? Invited to the studio Evarist Beqiri, researcher, former official of ShISh. Essence, directed by Eljan Tanini, appears every Friday and Sunday on Report Tv, at 21:00 on Report Tv.

Eljan Tanini: - Did you work at SHISH? Tell me, please, something about the good publication that has been prepared by the Authority of Files entitled "When Security was dealing with Science" from which this show is also inspired?

Evarist Beqiri: - I worked in the Albanian Information Service for 15 years. The State Security has never dealt with science, who worked in those years and if you look at the statistics, most were illiterate. Enver Hoxha called the State Security "the sharp and beloved weapon of the Party"! For example: Sabiha Kasimati spoke freely and said what she thought. Sabiha Kasimati was pursued for another thing and accused of another thing. There were false accusations. She was critical of the government's reforms, the policies pursued, poverty and openly expressed her dissatisfaction with the government. Security was a sharp and loving weapon, but also a blind one.

 Enver was the party, what he said was done. Kadare calls the State Security the most monstrous being that regime has produced. Even the State Security was initially known as the People's Protection Directorate. Today we still need to know history, students have no idea what happened. The people who should work there should be people of high integrity.

Çabej has been followed step by step, although he has only met with the people of his work. Çabej has been followed throughout his life, escaped from his work. From the beginning, the communist government labeled Çabej as a dangerous element that is ideologically and politically problematic

Eljan Tanini: - Gjovalin Gjadri, the man who united Albanians after Ismail Qemali! 11 people regularly spied on Gjovalin Gjadri. It starts with Malsori and continues with Skoda.

Evarist Beqiri: - There are about 30 reports on his activity during the years 1946-1954, through which conversations, meetings and requests are reported. The drama that Gjovalin Gjadri went through in life was enough to not follow Sigurimi. Examples like Gjovalin Gjadri should be shown. My grandfather was ordered to kill a person in the winter of 44, he didn't do it, there were consequences, he was released. There were consequences, they wanted to give you a big punishment from the Military Court of Vlora. But in the end the sentence was reduced.

Arshi Pipa saved the notes of his 10 years in prison on cigarette papers. He took them out of prison hidden in unwashed clothes.

"I grew up in a family that can be considered democratic, with hatred for dictatorship of any type", he would say in an interview after the 1990s. These people like Arshi Pipa have not received the attention they deserve in our society.

Alex Buda, was torn apart by the persecution of others in the files. People like Alex Buda, even through silence, said a lot. The facts point to a dual position between science and politics, but he found the space of inner freedom where he could pursue his intellectual interest without government interference. Those who lived through Kadare's time understand him better than we do today, his work speaks of despotism.

Kolë Kamsi came from a distinguished and generations-old family in Albania. The regime subjugated all those minds like Kolë Kamsi. Such characters bring the development of society. Kamsin "Silence saved him. He knew that he could not speak against the state. He was in the shadows all the time, he was on the edge, not in the center."

Petraq Pepo sacrificed his life, he was one of those who managed to survive. He was the historian who preserved the spirit of the Paris school, he had to write history according to the Marxist school of historical thought, with which he was not familiar. All of them have similarities in the way they have survived, they have made a pact with themselves. These people did not lose their dignity in life. He had managed to preserve as much as he could his friends, his dignity and his life and family, although the stain was never removed, nor was the observation. He had managed to live in controlled freedom without taking anyone's freedom away for it.

Gjergj Kokoshi, the famous MP, his drama was too big, disappeared with the famous Trial of MPs. An uncompromising man, the minister who had the moral strength to voluntarily resign when he saw that the government was destroying the country./ Shqiptarja.com
