Party leadership set from a start course of conciliation and loyalty toward Czechoslovakia. This direction had gone difficult by several factors, among them anti-catholic wave following formation of new state and first months of its existence. Even after it's decline anti-clerical and anti-catholic tendencies didn't disappear, as we can find their bearers among the leading figures of the republic, including the president Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk. This research raises the question of the process of the political-catholic press receiving policy of the party leadership policy of loyalty toward state, in time of rupture between the republic and catholic church, which strenghtened the tension between loyalty toward the state and the patriotism on one side and catholicism on the other. How did the catholic journals comment the course of the party? Did they try evaluate, defend or criticise? Did they suggest an alternative to it?

Nohýnková, Karolína ; Randák, Jan (advisor) ; Rychlík, Jan (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the withdrawal of Soviet troops from the (now former) military area Ralsko and the impact of the Soviet army's stay on the subsequent regional development. It places it in the context of the withdrawal of the Soviet army from the territory of Czechoslovakia, however, at the same time it also focuses on its specifics. In thematically ordered chapters it deals with e.g. coping with the ecological impacts of their stay and the issue of the transformation from the military area to the civilian sphere and the associated difficulties with privatization or the search for new uses. Methodologically, the thesis is based on the research project of the Institute of Contemporary History of the CAS "Czech Society and the Soviet Army 1968-1991", implemented in 2017-2019, especially on its conception of displacement not only from a political, but also from a social point of view. Moreover, it deepens it by focusing on one particular area of the Soviet army's dislocation - it emphasises the local aspect.

New times - new challenges. The Crisis of Czech Radio in the 1990s on the Example of Broadcasting for Young Listeners
Tanclová, Petra ; Randák, Jan (advisor) ; Daniel, Ondřej (referee)
The thesis deals with the crisis of Czech Radio in the 1990s, during which it was rapidly losing young listeners. This topic is used to illustrate some elements of the changes that took place in the political system and society after the fall of the communist dictatorship, i.e. in the so-called transformation period. Through information from the Archives of Czech Radio, periodicals, laws, and scholarly works and articles in the fields of history, sociology, and media studies, it maps the legislation and new conditions in which radio as a public service medium had to learn to function. Radio listeners were taken over by competing private broadcasters, which were heavily promoted by the state and whose development is also discussed. The study also focuses on the characterization and cultural orientation of the young generation of the 1990s, which helps to understand why youth broadcasting of Czechoslovakian and then Czech Radio was not attractive to this generation. The next part of the thesis is devoted to the content and form of youth broadcasting itself, and uses examples of some of its programmes to show how conservative and unchanged since the normalisation era it was. The only programmes that managed to attract young people back to Czech Radio were those by the creative team of Radio Mama,...
