Slaninová, Lucie ; Klípa, Ondřej (advisor) ; Kolenovská, Daniela (referee)
The bachelor thesis is a comparative two-cases study that compares approaches of Czechia and Slovakia towards forced sterilizations of Roma women that was taking place on their territory during several decades. Sterilization is a medical intervention disabling a human reproduction. Sterilizations were set in the seventies in the former Czechoslovakia in accordance with an eugenics ideology of controlling public reproduction and influencing quality of the society. Ongoing differencies between major society and Roma people lasted for centuries in spite of many attempts to assimilate Roma people and that is the reason why Roma women were the target. However, controlling reproduction of population is violation of human rights. For this reason, both countries had to accept apropriate restrictions. The sterilization policy was ignored for a long time, although complaints and activities of victims started to appear at the beginning of this century. All the speaking victims together with many nongovernmental organizations tried to obtain a compensation for victims of this unlawful policy of forced sterilizations. Therefore, state authorities of both countries started to act. First of all, Slovakia started interrogation as a consequence of a report "Body and Soul" in 2003. A new act of health care providing...

Kubičina, Štěpán ; Klípa, Ondřej (advisor) ; Vykoukal, Jiří (referee)
This thesis researches the Polish operation of the NKVD, which took place in the Soviet Union during the second half of the 1930'. During this operation mass executions and deportation were committed by the Soviet state against Poles living in the USSR. The aim of this thesis is to determine whether this event constituted a genocide, or not. To get the answer to this research question this thesis focuses on the history and the definition of the word "genocide" a introduces several examples which are widely considered as genocides. Then the thesis describes the events of the Polish operation itself and its chronology as well as the impact it had, and finally the thesis combines these facts with the definitions and answers the research question. The thesis is divided into three main parts. In the first part it researches the emotions the word "genocide" may instigate, the history and codification process of this word in the international law and the relation between genocide and modernity. In the second part the thesis focuses on the historical context of the Polish operation and the "Great Purge" and presents the exact numbers of the dead and persecuted. The third part then uses the selected definition to answer the research question.
Analysis of generational differences in public opinion on the disintegration of Czechoslovakia
Kukačka, Jakub ; Klípa, Ondřej (advisor) ; Kocián, Jiří (referee)
In this thesis named "Analysis of generational differences in public opinion on the disintegration of Czechoslovakia", I am focusing on documenting the moods of the Czech citizenry in the period from 1990s to present day. The main force behind the dissolution were the political elites of both successor states which acted without consulting the citizens of both republics who were mostly supporting the proponents of the continued existence of the federation, according to public surveys of that time. However, since the dissolution of the shared state, the public's attitude has significantly changed and major role in these changes plays generational composition of a given society. In the 30 years, since the dissolution, new generations have established themselves. Therefore, it is more than appropriate to compare these moods and their changes and try to identify the causes behind them. The result of this work should be a basic historical overview of the final stages of the CSFR, a mapping of the development of the public opinion on this event, a comparison of that development and identification of possible generational trends.

Stodolová, Magdaléna ; Klípa, Ondřej (advisor) ; Šmidrkal, Václav (referee)
The topic of the bachelor thesis is minority policy towards Lusatian Sorbs in the German Democratic Republic. The thesis focuses mainly on the period from the establishment of the East German state to the beginning of the 1970s. The aim of the thesis is to discover which aspects of Leninist nationality policy can be found in the East German model of minority policy directed towards the Lusatian Sorb ethnic group. The thesis first briefly introduces who the Lusatian Sorbs are and describes their changing position in the 20th century. This work then provides a definition of ethnicity and other important concepts established by the Norwegian anthropologist T.H. Eriksen. Following terminology, the approach to ethnicity in the Soviet Union and East Germany is described and the most important aspects of Soviet nationality policy, with an emphasis on "korenization" (nativization), which was an important part of Leninist nationality policy. Similarly, the thesis deals with nationality policy in the GDR and examines the application of Leninist nationality policy in the work of the umbrella organization Domowina and in bilingual education in Lausitz. The last chapter mentions collectivisation and industrialisation, which significantly affected the situation of Lusatian Sorbs, but do not fall within the main...
