CIAO! Straniero qui.
Attualmente sto scrivendo una VN ambientata nell’Albania degli anni ’70 e ho studiato come fosse la vita durante il periodo comunista. Uno di questi aspetti riguarda le razioni alimentari e non mentirò, le informazioni che ho ottenuto possono essere un po ‘contrastanti.
Da un lato, ho setacciato Quora e i commenti su questo subreddit, e da quello che ho letto, le razioni tendono ad essere scarse e ogni famiglia ottiene solo una carta di razione, indipendentemente da quanto grande. Ogni famiglia ottiene 10 uova, un chilo di carne, 2 litri di latte e 200 grammi di burro a settimana, tra le altre cose, Afaik.
D’altra parte, ho trovato Questo articolo Ciò ha indicato che il governo comunista ha nutrito abbastanza bene la sua gente. (Queste statistiche sono anche pubblicate nell’annuario di Berisha del 1992, che probabilmente dimostra che i numeri non sono stati cotti?)
Dalla mia comprensione, l’autarky di Hoxha ha permesso al paese di essere autosufficiente in termini di produzione alimentare (ed è l’unico paese ad essere così fino ad oggi) e i prezzi degli alimenti sono stati fissati, ma la quantità di cibo consentita per famiglia è limitata. Ma mi sbaglio qui? Mi mancano qualche informazione?
How was food rationed in Communist Albania?

From what my grandparents and parents have told me, it was hell. My father had 3 brothers, so in total a family of 6, they were rationed to eating only 10 eggs per week.
From late 70s to early 90s the situation was very bad. I used to be a kid back then but I do remember the rations. I clearly remember the bread, where you couldn’t buy more than one per day. I don’t recall the weight but I remember people from different quarters in the city coming and asking us the kids to buy bread for them. When my parents came home from work, they couldn’t buy bread as the seller would tell them that they had already sent me to buy once. Milk line at 3-4am was longer than the quantity of milk arriving in the shop. Some people in line weren’t lucky to buy. There was one litre bottle per person. Meat? Maybe 1kg a week per household. A shitty portion too, either full of fat or bone. First time I saw strawberries and bananas live it was around ‘92.
From all stories I’ve heard, the numbers in that article were probably cooked
All I know it was different from us from Tirana, different from other cities and less for the villages..
We had a distant relative visit from abroad, sometime in 1989, when things started opening up slightly, in terms of external contact at least. We were in no way allowed to show how bad things were, and we were going to host a dinner in her honor. In order to make that dinner happen, six families of our close relatives pitched in with their coupons, just so we could actually have a bit of variety in the food served.
