Abstract: [eng] [cze]
This diploma thesis is attempting to analyze the events of November and December 1989 in Czechoslovakia through the eyes of English-speaking witnesses, both at the time and in retrospect, using English language sources. The goal of the thesis is to distill from the analysis notions of freedom and whether there are perceptions of change since 1989. Included in the definition of "freedom" is the means by which it was achieved. Tato diplomová práce má v úmyslu analyzovat události, které se udály v Československu v listopadu a prosince 1989, a to skrze pohled anglicky hovořících svědků. Oba se vrací k událostem, které se tehdy staly a jejich svědectví jsou dokreslena dalšími zdroji, dostupnými v anglickém jazyce. Cílem diplomové práce je analyzovat vše relevantní k pojmu svoboda a zjistit, zda a jak jsou vnímány změny od roku 1989.
