Postwar purge of czech cinematography in 1945-1946.
Černá, Zuzana ; Klimeš, Ivan (advisor) ; Czesany Dvořáková, Tereza (referee)
This thesis concerns the process of Postwar purge, a purge which was being carried out by the Disciplinary Board of the Union of Czech film workers, in film industry after the Second World War. Even before establishing the Retribution Decrees, revolutionary denazification commissions came into being in many areas of public life. These commissions tried workers co-operating with invaders with absolutely no legal basis. The film industry, a kind of mass media which was on the front burner, also underwent this process under the supervision of a new cinematography leadership. The new leadership's aim was to nationalise the film branch. The aim of this thesis is to make clear who was tried by the commission and under what conditions, how the commission arbitrated and who were its members. Another goal is to imply how they influenced the next course of post-war Czechoslovak cinematography.

Václav Majer: Politician, 1945-1948
Brož, Jan ; Mücke, Pavel (advisor) ; Vaňous, Jaroslav (referee)
This diploma thesis is devoted to Václav Majer (January 22, 1904 - January 25, 1972) and his public work, particularly in the period of the Third Republic of Czechoslovakia. Václav Majer was a social democratic politician and he was a leader of the right wing within the Czechoslovak Social Democracy. The main issue which was being discussed inside the Social Democratic Party at that time was the question of cooperation between Social Democrats and Communists. Majer was a main proponent of independent policy of the Social Democratic Party. Sometimes it is hard to analyze the meaning and the course of various political affairs without knowing their roots. In that case, it is necessary to study the background of these events which in many cases lies at the previous period. This is the reason why this very essay actually starts right after the Munich Agreement was negotiated and signed. This thesis informs about Majer's road to exile and his political activities during the World War II. The main interest of this thesis lies in the era of the Third Republic and informs about Majer and his policy during this very period.

Doležal, Kryštof ; Klimeš, Ivan (advisor) ; Czesany Dvořáková, Tereza (referee)

This movie fitted in the nationalistic folklore of Czech culture, hussite tradition and allowed the argumentation against Germans, liberals and to em- phasize other aspects of Czech nationalism. Cinematography and press were the most important mass media in those days and were regulated or controlled by the government of National Front. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to clarify (through media analysis) in what matter the press reflec- ted the movie, or rather in what sense resonated the Czech nationalism in the selected texts.

Svoboda, Ladislav ; Mlejnek, Josef (advisor) ; Kubát, Michal (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with pair of domestic regimes known as the second and third | Czechoslovakian republic. The choice of these periods of the national history was conditioned by a relative absence of comparative political scientific works on these periods and by timelessness and topicality of the studying of domestic regimes, that refused the idea of a liberal democracy twice in ten years. The goal of the diploma thesis is to analyze, compare and categorize the second and the third Czechoslovakian republic in the framework provided by the theory of authoritarian and totalitarian regimes by Juan J. Linz. In the first part the thesis describes the theoretical framework of the theory of authoritarian and totalitarian regimes with stress on the theory of authoritarian regimes, as it is the assumption of the thesis, that both the second and the third republic were cases of authoritarian regimes. The other parts of theory which deal with totalitarian and sultanistic regimes are only briefly mentioned. In the second part of the thesis there is an analysis and comparison of both regimes based on three research questions. In this part the thesis deals with the relationship of both studied regimes with the first republic and their relationship with a liberal democracy, then it deals with the very analysis in...

Smetanová, Kateřina ; Jakubec, Ivan (advisor) ; Váňa, Daniel (referee)
This bachelor thesis is focused on an analysis of the foundations which enabled and simplified the transition to centrally planned economy in post-war Czechoslovakia. The theoretical part concentrates mainly on the period of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia which is assessed in this thesis to enable a better understanding of all the issues and consequences involved. The main areas analyzed and evaluated in this thesis are political, economical and social factors that predetermined further development. The analysis of factors mentioned above is used to explain and clarify the circumstances of the takeover in February 1948, the origin and principle could already be recognized much earlier. This bachelor thesis also offers a consideration of the so-called closing period of socialist transformation and culmination of the initial wave of power consolidation. The post-war enthusiasm and ideas were changed into ideology that lasted for several decades. The author of this bachelor thesis concludes that the February takeover was not completed in a short period of time but represented the logical outcome of pre-war, war and post-war policies.
