Slovak expats in Prague during normalisation
Oravcová, Jana ; Wohlmuth, Petr (advisor) ; Hlaváček, Jiří (referee)
The aim of the final thesis will be to examine the Slovak community in Prague during the socalled normalization period. The year 1968 is set as a fundamental milestone when significant events took place in the development of Czechoslovakia. In the thesis, we will be interested in the motivations behind the arrival of Slovaks in Prague, their assimilation in the new environment, and how they perceived the different cultural surroundings. An important assumption is that Slovaks came to Prague in order to improve their standard of living. At the same time, the scope of our research is limited to the 1970s, and we will attempt to analyze in more detail the experiences of Slovaks in Prague who migrated during this period.

The work is supplemented with historical documents and articles. For a broader context, the origin and development of the Internet itself is described here, with its subsequent expansion into Europe.

Women of Čejetičky. Everyday life of two generations of women living in the mentioned location between the years 1968 and 2000.
Picková, Monika ; Krátká, Lenka (advisor) ; Hlaváček, Jiří (referee)
This thesis focuses on recording the lived experiences and everyday lives of two generations of women, mothers and daughters, who lived in the city district of Čejetičky in Mladá Boleslav between the years 1968 and 2000. Research conducted using the method of oral history targets mainly the family environment and career prospects of these women, their time in and outside of work and also their general quality of life, as perceived by the narrators themselves. In this way, it gives a voice to women that have been historically and traditionally overlooked. By comparing the stories of two generations of women, we can observe how daughters followed the paths of life set by their mothers and were subjected to the pressures of patriarchal society only some fifty kilometers outside of Prague.

Ševčíková, Markéta ; Hlaváček, Jiří (advisor) ; Wohlmuth Markupová, Jana (referee)
This aim of this thesis is to show how members of the former aristocratic families lived after 1945 on the basis of oral-historical interviews. The narrators are people who were born between years 1929-1962 and who lived in Czechoslovakia until at least 1968. Their memories are compared with each other in order to find out whether or not they differ due to their date of birth. The thesis deals with both personal topics in the life of each narrator and their memories of important events in Czechoslovakia, such as the period of August 1968 or the Velvet Revolution.
