Šrédlová, Petra ; Matějka, Ondřej (advisor) ; Emler, David (referee)
Formy a vývoj kolaborace ve Vichy Petra Šrédlová Abstract This bachelor thesis is dealing with various types of collaboration between France and Germany in the course of years from 1940 to 1944. It focuses on the three most significant types of collaboration, namely state collaboration, economic collaboration and collaborationism. The thesis is divided into three chapters, which are focused on particular kinds of collaboration and every one of them analyses their chronological development within several subheads. The state and economic collaboration took place on the level of government negotiations, in which the Vichy government did not support total collaboration, whereas collaborationism was based on ideological support of Nazi Germany, where the collaborationists supported absolute collaboration. The aim of this thesis is to analyse chronological course of particular types of collaboration focused on the breakdown of transformation of the attitude of individual participants. Their approach was changing mostly on the grounds of Germany's war achievements, which decreased noticeably within the course of the war and also on increasing German demands, mainly in the economic area. The thesis also pursues the question of efficiency of individual types of collaboration in the view of the motives that led Vichy...

Bibliografický záznam KOUNOVSKÝ, Josef. Crowdfunding v českém prostředí a jeho využití v proměňujícím se hudebním průmyslu. Praha, 2014. 94 s. Diplomová práce (Mgr.) Univerzita Karlova, Fakulta sociálních věd, Institut komunikačních studií a žurnalistiky. Katedra mediálních studií. Vedoucí diplomové práce Mgr. Jaroslav Švelch, Ph.D. Abstract This thesis addresses the issue of crowdfunding in the Czech Republic and its utilization in the changing music industry. It focuses on the specifics that the local version of crowdfunding brings with itself and the motivation of musicians to use this not very familiar method of financing. At the same time, the thesis also puts crowdfunding in the context of today's music culture and points out the mechanics behind crowdfunding that make it successful abroad. The thesis briefly outlines the changes in the music industry, which occur with the development of new media. The research part of the thesis provides a qualitative analysis of five crowdfunding campaigns that took place since autumn 2013 to the present day. The analysis is based on in-depth interviews with project creators. The analysis shows that the Czech crowdfunding is still in its infancy and can not yet be seen as a full-fledged local version of crowdfunding as we know from abroad. The major differences can...

Nazi propaganda with the theme of judaism in Národní politika (1939-1941)
Blichová, Larisa ; Dolanský, Pavel (advisor) ; Lysoňková, Lenka (referee)
The thesis is making a qualitative analysis of the Nazi propaganda in Národní politika during the period 1939-1941. These first three years of World War II were most important in shaping the cooperation between the media and the occupying power. The thesis is focused on anti-Semitic propaganda and its development during those three years in one of the most highly read daily newspaper in the Protectorate. Through the examples of a few chosen articles and adverts, this propaganda is shown concretely. The texts are analysed to reveal their true meaning, as well as the real authors and readers. By real authors, I mean the Nazis and the occupying power, as most of the articles from the following period are missing a signature. Texts are chosen from different times of year and from different sections of the paper, and each chapter includes a short overview of the historical context. There is a summary of propaganda tools, trend changes in protectorate communications, and changes in showing Jews at the end of the thesis.

Attitude of the Catholic Church towards the Vichy regim
Jägerová, Julie ; Suchánek, Drahomír (advisor) ; Horčička, Václav (referee)
Following thesis deals with relationship between the Catholic Church and a regime established in a part of France during the Second World War. The purpose of the thesis is to analyse main origins of attitude of the Catholic Church towards Vichy France. This attitude is generally considered to be positive. The thesis examines this question only on level of episcopacy. Other levels of possible research are knowingly omitted because of a limited extent of this text. The author emphasizes three main problems of relationship between the Catholic Church and the Vichy regime. Firstly, the thesis focuses on the process of convergence of the Church and the state, secondly this congruity is confronted with moments of clash of opinion between these two elements. Finally, the last chapter deals with post-war situation in France which is connected with purification of the catholic hierarchy. Keywords Catholic Church, France, Vichy, World War II, resistance, collaboration, antisemitism, holocaust, Alfred Baudrillart, Pierre-Marie Gerlier

Václavík, Robert ; Gebhart, Jan (advisor) ; Šedivý, Ivan (referee)
In the period of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, the Czech Union of Warriors (CUW) was an organisation collaborating with the occupational power. Te founder of the CUW, Otto Bláha, a retired colonel of gendarmerie, in 1940 promoted to general, tried to achieve the dissolution of military associations existing till then, attempting to form a unified organisation of war veterans. One of the pillars of the CUW was the Czech Union for Collaboration with Germans, in which Bláha was in charge of invervention activites with German authorities. The scond pillar of the rising CUW was the Union of Front Soldiers. Bláha took over the leadership in this union and from the occupational bodies acquired an approval to form a unifeid organisation under the managment of the newly forming CUW. In spite of all the endeavours of CUW, it never happened. The Articles of the CUW were approved of in 1914 and Bláha was appointed its head.

Nástup červenobílých a Vlajka in the period from 1939 to 1940
Otcovská, Karolina ; Cebe, Jan (advisor) ; Suk, Pavel (referee)
This diploma thesis focuses on two periodicals that were published simultaneously during 1939-1940, i.e. in the initial period of the so-called Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Both periodicals presented themselves as press platforms of the sympathizers of fascist groups. One of the periodicals related to the pre-war fascist group Červenobílí and the other referred to a fascist movement called Vlajka. Despite seemingly similar orientations, the magazines got themselves into a dispute that resulted in an extensive press campaign. The aim of my thesis is the detailed analysis of this campaign. Most of the people concentrated around Nástup Červenobílých magazine were active in the committee of Národní souručenství (the only legal Czech political organization of that time), or in its satellite institutions. Nástup Červenobílých thus acted loyally towards Národní souručenství and was financed by its leading officials. Vlajka magazine, on the contrary, was against Národní souručenství from the beginning, which was reflected in the attacks on Nástup Červenobílých. The press campaign was led on the level of personal insults and the main protagonists were Zdeněk Zástěra, publisher of Nástup Červenobílých, and Jan Rys with Josef Burda on the other side, both Vlajka officials. Both magazines used various...

In the diploma thesis the issue of the Kalmyk deportation in the Soviet Union during World War II is analysed in a broader context. The issue of deportation as a foudation of the thesis is put into a wider context. The concept of deportation and repressive policies was established by a state government in the first half of the 20th century. Deportations were used by the apparatus of government of the Soviet Union as one of the forms of repressive sanctions to regulate conditions in the state. Political, social and economic situation in the first half of the 20th century in Russia was impacted by the Stalinist period. The period of J. V. Stalin's rule over the Soviet Union (1922-1952) was entered into the history of Russia as a period of mass repressions (collectivization, persecution of the kulaks, church dignitaries and political dissenters, the "great terror", deportations on the eve of World War II, total deportations during the World War II). Repressions were one of the strategies used by the government to concentrate power in the hands of the Communist Party and to strengthen the regime in the country....
