The Action Committee of the parliamentary National Front and its role in the Czechoslovak state coup 1948
Kolínský, Jan ; Štefek, Martin (advisor) ; Doubek, Vratislav (referee)
In this thesis I will focus on the Action Committee of the parliamentary National Front, which was established in February 1948 in the Constituent National Assembly in Czechoslovakia. Action Committees were being established without any support in the Czechoslovak constitution and law order in factories or public institutions with the intention of purification of the state from reactionary elements. The aim of the parliamentary action committee was to earn support for Gottwald's government and further to remove inconvenient people from the parliamentary party groups. The goal of this thesis will be to find out, which role the parliamentary action committee played in the communist coup d'état in 1948, when the main effort laid in weakening the role of the parliament. The thesis will primarily focus on the archival sources regarding the action committee itself, its members, but also the parliament, National Front, and the communist party. The thesis will ask a question, what role the Action Committee played in the communist coup d'état and the subsequent suppression of the parliament. Key words: Action Committee of the National Front, Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, Czechoslovak coup d'état in 1948, Constituent National Assembly

The basic task will be not only to assess the role of communist politicians in the process of Sovietization of Czechoslovakia. Policy and the way it was presented to the public, but also the degree of dependence of the rise of the Communist Party on support from Moscow.

Czech politics in the context of changes of the revolutionary year 1848: Why did the political visions of the revolutionary forces fail to succeed?
Vaněk, Karel ; Doubek, Vratislav (advisor) ; Štefek, Martin (referee)
Bachelor thesis entitled "Czech Politics in the Context of the Revolutionary Changes of 1848: Why Did the Political Visions of the Movers of the Revolution Fail to Take Hold?" asks the question why the actors of the revolutionary events did not assert themselves politically in the period immediately after the revolution. Fundamental to this thesis is the hypothesis that this very failure to assert itself was primarily due to the lack of development of political and party organisation and, as a consequence, the inadequate economic and institutional conditions for the potential self-realisation of the political parties themselves. Keywords Revolutionary year 1848, Theory of political parties, Development of political parties, Czech political thought

Nestor Ivanovych Makhno and bolshevism
Frynta, Jakub ; Stellner, František (advisor) ; Doubek, Vratislav (referee)
The bachelor thesis analyses the relations between N. I. Makhno - makhnovshchina - and the Bolsheviks in the years 1918-1922. These relationships are characterised as dynamic due to frequent conflicts and divisions. The thesis asks what factors influenced these relations and what role the makhnovshchina played in them during the civil war in Russia. It also examines the formation of Makhno's political views and explores his attitude towards Bolshevism. The author assumes that Makhno's relationship with the Bolsheviks was primarily shaped by his optimistic vision of building an anarchist society. This vision indirectly transformed makhnovshchina into an ‚extended arm of Bolshevism'. Methodologically, the work is based on political history. The biographical method is used to understand the political actions of the protagonist. The relationship between Makhno - makhnovshchina - and the Bolsheviks can be characterized as ambivalent. They were based on the same interests, consisting in the defeat of the White Army, but with different objectives, which gradually led to confrontation. In spite of this, makhnovshchina to some extent helped to consolidate the power of the Bolsheviks in Russia more quickly.

Neoslavism and the Polish question
Květina, Jan ; Doubek, Vratislav (advisor) ; Kaleta, Petr (referee)
Slovanská vzájemnost, založená na ideji širší etnické příbuznosti, představovala v epoše nacionální emancipace pro reprezentace jednotlivých "probouzejících se" národů výrazný prvek, který nebylo možné opomíjet. Postoj ke slovanství byl založen de facto na míře prospěšnosti, kterou v něm daná reprezentace (respektive konkrétní daný reprezentant, neboť národní hnutí nelze považovat za jednolitý celek) spatřovala právě pro svoje chápání národního rozvoje. Smyslem tohoto konstatování (a i podtextem této studie) není pokus o jednoznačnou deklaraci účelovosti jakýchkoli snah o sblížení na základě slovanské příbuznosti, ale poukázání na složitost tehdejšího sebe-pojímání, tedy vnímání vlastní identity, ve které mohla být slovanská vzájemnost pojímána jako nadřazená, doplňující či konkurující tendence národním aspiracím. V případě nám blízkého českého prostředí bychom tato odlišná pojetí principu a záměru slovanství mohli demonstrovat na příkladu kollárovského a havlíčkovského přístupu. V prvním případě se jednalo o stavění slovanského ideálu nad partikulární zájmy národa, kde byl Kollárův základní stavební kámen tvořen předpokladem jednotného praslovanského jazyka. Základ jeho slavismu tak spočíval v představě, že kdysi jednotný slovanský celek se vlivem historických okolností rozpadl na jednotlivé části, z čehož...

Bachelor thesis discusses the possibilities of semi-underground work of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (KSČ) since the late 1920s through to the final period of the legality of the Communist Party during the "Second Republic". The paper is divided into three thematic blocks. The first section deals with the context in the form of development of the party system since the late 1920s to the end of the First Republic, and also the legal framework for the protection of the republic. The second part is devoted to the history of the KSČ during this period. The third part is devoted to the analysis already semi-underground work opportunities, which is the main theme of my thesis. The main objective is to show the possibilities of semi-underground work. In fact, it is the kind of analysis the official party press, in which the articles could describe the illegal activities of illegal foreign parties. These articles could eventually serve as role models for the domestic illegal work. This fact is examined in the second part of the analysis. The thesis is also partly concerns the question of the influence of the Comintern on organizing these activities and even general influence on the Comintern on the inner side management.
