Yet, as with other communist states, particularly in the Balkans, where measures putatively geared towards the consolidation of political control intersected with the pursuit of national integration, it is often impossible to distinguish sharply between ideological and ethno-cultural bases of repression.
而且，正如其他共产党国家，特别是巴尔干地区的国家一样，应该是用于巩固政治控制能力的手段和追求民族整合的手段交织在一起，常常不可能明显区分压迫是基于意识形态还是民族文化。
