Bits from these ideologies were partially adopted during the
People's Republic of Albania (1945–1991), which was more focused on Illyrian-Albanian continuity issue
[8] and appropriating
Ancient Greek history as Albanian.
[8] However the core values of Albanian National Awakening remain rooted even today. And the ideology developed during Hoxha's regime is still partly present (though "there seems to be willingness for change"
[9]) in modern
Albanian society and institutions, in
Albania and
Kosovo[8][10].
Albanians consider themselves to be descendants of the
Illyrians, a theory not proven by scientist today. The 19th century idea that Albanians are descendants of
[11] Pelasgians[12] and that
Etruscans,
[13] had an
Illyrian origin are still common among certain Albanian circles. These ideas seem to have formed as a tendency for creation of a
myth that would allow movements for independence and self-determination.
Protochronism
Among controversial claims
Aristotle,
[18] Pyrrhus of Epirus,
[19] Alexander the Great,
[20] and
Phillip II of Macedon (along with all the ancient
Macedonians) were Pelasgian-Illyrian-Albanian
[21] and that ancient Greek culture (and thus the result of the
Hellenistic civilisation) had been spread by Albanians
[22].
Macedonians are considered forefathers (among several others) of the Albanians. Ancient Greek gods are seen as "Albanian" as well
[8].
Through the Pelasgian claim, most if not all European cultures are claimed to be derivatory, even those of the
Romans and
Celts.

Robert D'Angély is one of the authors that tries to re-actualize XIX century claims that Albanians descend from the most ancient peoples, the Pelasgians, and that the European "
white race" descends from these people. According to Angély, Greek people or Greek nation does not exist (he writes that Greeks mixed with Semites) and that the ancient Greeks were
Pelasgian Albanians.
[24]
Edwin Everett Jacques an American XIX century missionary
[25] in Albania in his book
"The Albanians: An Ethnic History from Prehistoric Times to the Present" supported and recreated these notions by considering all the
Ancient Greeks Albanians.
[26]
Ismail Kadare, an Albanian novelist, winner of the
Man Booker International Prize in 2005 and of the
Prince of Asturias Award in 2009 claims that Albanians are more Greek than the Greeks themselves,
[27] and attempts to construct a Greek-Illyrian continuity
[27].
