Nexhmije Hoxha, the widow of Albania's longtime Stalinist leader Enver Hoxha, speaks during an interview with Reuters in Tirana September 12, 2008. Hoxha said some things had improved since the collapse of Communism, but defended Enver Hoxha's tough legacy as she prepared to honour the centenary of his birth. Enver Hoxha was born on October 16, 1908, and after leading the World War Two resistance, ruled Albania for 40 years as one the world's most reclusive and oppressive states. He abolished religion, closed the borders and built thousands of pillbox bunkers against foreign invasion. REUTERS/Arben Celi (ALBANIA)
