Genesis and development of the railway junction in Prague until 1939 with regard to its strategic planning
Junek, Tomáš ; Hlavačka, Milan (advisor) ; Rychlík, Jan (referee)
"Organickou součástí průmyslové revoluce byly převratné změny v dopravě. Jejich podstata spočívala ve vytvoření kvalitativně nového dopravního systému, který se technicky opíral o sílu parního stroje, tedy o hnací sílu, která neměla v minulosti obdoby, a ekonomicky spočíval na rychlé, spolehlivé a především masové přepravě nákladů a pracovní síly na víceméně libovolné vzdálenosti."1 Nový dopravní systém, to byla železnice, symbol průmyslové revoluce. Využívajíc objevů vědy a techniky a jimi podmíněného pokroku v průmyslové výrobě, stala se záhy sama jejich šiřitelkou a zpětně podněcovala prudký rozmach průmyslu, a to i v oblastech, kde to doposud nebylo možné. Železnice neznala hranice, cla a výsady, byla nositelkou nových myšlenek, názorů a kulturních proudů, železniční tratě "zkrátily čas a zmenšily prostor, ... urychlovaly, ať přímo či nepřímo, radikální proměny nejen ve výrobních silách, ale i v sociální struktuře každé společnosti."2

Pávová, Jana ; Rychlík, Jan (advisor) ; Kvaček, Robert (referee)

He was not only a politician but an ideologist as well. The thesis is based mainly on archival sources and newspapers of the relevant period. The thesis is divided chronologically into five chapters. The first one focuses on period 1897 - 1938 and shows how young Václav Kopecký joined the Communist party and as how as one of the so-called "boys of Karlin" became the great supporter of Klement Gottwald. Václav Kopecký also participated in bolshevisation of the party in 1929.

Jozef Lenart and his political activity 1963-1970
Cvrček, Lukáš ; Rychlík, Jan (advisor) ; Blažek, Petr (referee)
Má diplomová práce především vzhledem k jejímu plánovanému rozsahu rezignuje na pokus být kompletní biografií Jozefa Lenárta, významného komunistického státního a stranického činitele, a omezuje se pouze na sledování jeho politické kariéry v letech 1963 - 1970. Celá práce je rozdělena na dva větší celky s odlišnou koncepcí líčení událostí. První část se zabývá obdobím vymezeném rozmezím let 1963 až 1967. Tuto velkou kapitolu jsem rozdělil na podkapitoly podle tematického hlediska. V nich se zabývám Lenártovým podílem na řízení strany a státu, a tím pádem i na nejdůležitějších politických událostech sledovaného období (rehabilitace, ekonomická reforma). Ve snaze přiblížit Lenárta alespoň útržkovitě jako člověka, jsem učinil také malou odbočku pojednávající o Lenártově životním stylu. Předěl mezi oběma celky tvoří kapitola o Novotn~ho nuceném odchodu z funkce prvního tajemníka. Pro vylíčení Lenártových činů a postojů v bouřlivém období let 1968 - 1970 jsem zvolil chronologicky navazující styl řazení událostí.

Václav Černý. The intellectual in the time of normalization
Kreuzigerová, Pavla ; Rychlík, Jan (advisor) ; Bek, Pavel (referee)
In my thesis I attempted to portray the career of professor Václav Černý. Václav Černý was a significant czech scientist and schoolmaster of The Faculty of Arts of The Charles University. During his life he encountered the totalitarian power, whether the nazists or communists. In the title of my thesis I labeled Václav Čeřný as an intellectual. By the term I understand a scholar who is interested in the general questions and if necessary he or she is willing to involve him/herself in the in the struggle for enforcement of the truth and liberty. The crux of my thesis is illustration of the life of Václav Černý in the time of normalization in Czechoslovakia. In 1970 there started the propaganda against him and he was chosen as a main target of its attack. In the thesis I tried to find an answer for why just he was chosen for it. I also looked for the answer how he replied to the conditions when czech culture, especially literature was under controll of the totalitarian power and a large part of bookmen and scientist could not publish their works.

Palivodová, Eva ; Kvaček, Robert (advisor) ; Rychlík, Jan (referee)
In 1957 the easter block coped with the crisis of the year 1956, destalinization and with the uprising in Hungary. I tried to observe the particular levels of this coping and consolidation in Czechoslovakia in my thesis. I focused on development of policy, economy and ideology in Czechoslovakia in 1957. I had a respect to the development of social policy, culture and science. I looked at the situation in Czechoslovakia in its territorial and time context. In the first chapter I have written the characteristics of political system in Czechoslovakia in 1957 and described its particular components. Subsequent chapters are sentenced in chronological sequence. There are three main periods in the year 1957: 1. from January to June - it is the period of reaction to Hungarian uprising. 2. from June do September - consolidation of the regime in Czechoslovakia and in Soviet Union. 3. from September to December - the triumph of communistic regimes connected with the launch of the satellite Sputnic 1 and the anniversary of October revolution in 1917 in Russia. I divided these main chapters into smaller sections, which observe the political development, economical development and the development of ideology in these periods.
