Civil Society and the State in Post-Soviet Russia
Votavová, Vladimíra ; Svoboda, Karel (advisor) ; Kolenovská, Daniela (referee)
The bachelor thesis entitled The State and Civil Society in Post-Soviet Russia deals with importance, growth and function of civil society in Russia after 1991. At the beginning, the thesis strives to identify Russian regime type which is influenced not only by communist experience but also by the process of transition to democracy. Both the Yeltsin's and the Putin's administration are seen through the hybrid regimes theory that alleges that they are short of rule of law and limitation of powers. Those aspects essentially shape the form and players of Russian civil society that are characterized as well. The thesis is also concerned with different perception of the civil society concept in Russia and in the Western context; it describes particular dissimilarities and mentions differences of Russian culture and social discourse. In the end, the thesis is focused on president Putin's politics towards civil society, its incentives and consequences.
The Orthodox Church in the Quest of National Identity in Post-communist Russia
Votavová, Vladimíra ; Romancov, Michael (advisor) ; Žídková, Markéta (referee)
As the main theme of this bachelor thesis can be considered an analysis of role and conduct of the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) in the quest of national identity in post-communist (or so called new) Russia. In doing so, it also deals with the social status of the ROC, i. e. with its position in Russian society. It asks which factors contribute to the religious revival despite the communist persecutions and how does the society perceive it. It is also concerned with the ROC position in politics, mainly with an influence of the ROC on selected legislature, and with the issue of being perceived as the state Church. ROC as a foreign policy actor is also mentioned, with focus on the reunification with the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad (ROCA). Historical circumstances explaining the traditional role of the ROC in Russian society are included as well.
