Unknown Partisan Monument

The Unknown Partisan Monument is a war memorial dedicated to the wariars that fell during WWII. The Monument is a great example of socialist realism, and depicts a soldier raising his right hand waving troops forward while holding a rifle in his left. This is a perfect spot to talk about the glorification of the partisan war and the ways dictator Enver Hoxha used it to condemn his political rivals.
