Hušková, Jana ; Trunečková, Ludmila (advisor) ; Lokšík, Martin (referee)
This diploma thesis points out differences in the reporting methods of CTK and CT, the two public service's media, regarding the Ukrainian crisis. The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on both of these media's properties with emphasis on their foreign coverageas well as related medial terms' definitions. One chapter is reserved to cover Ukraine as a state and its political history since the SovietUnion's disintegration through to 2014 and the Ukrainian crisis development; further studying the relationship between Ukraine and the Russian Federation resulting in the crisis in 2013. In the practical part of the thesis quantitative and qualitative methods are used to determine how much attention and screen-time both media dedicated to the crisis, which parties were given opportunities to comment and identify other sources of information. Keeping in mind the fact that CT had four reporters on site at it's disposal, the thesis tries to find out how big of an influence that had on the overall production, processing and tone of the television news and to what degree the production of both media agreed or diverged.

The Importance of the northern Black Sea for the Byzantine Empire in the 6th- 10th centuries. Economic and military significance of the city of Cherson.
Čechová, Martina ; Vavřínek, Vladimír (advisor) ; Shepard, Jonathan (referee) ; Štefanovičová, Tatjana (referee)
The main topic of the thesis is the city of Cherson, which has been under excavation mainly by Russian or Ukrainian researchers for more than 180 years. Due to a difficult political situation, the area was not accessible to other scholars till 1993.

The first two chapters of the dissertation deal with the sources and the history of research. The main body of the dissertation is divided into three parts: (chapter 3) From the end of the Roman times till the early Middle Ages (5th - mid-7th centuries), (chapter 4) The Dark Ages (mid-7th - mid-9th centuries), (chapter 5) The new era of prosperity (mid-9th - end of the 10th century). The third chapter is devoted to the time when the era of Antiquity was slowly coming to its end and the development proceeded to the Middle Ages, in this case to the early Byzantine period. The fish industry and fish processing will be discussed because these activities which had begun here in the Roman times continued in the Byzantine period, too. Afterwards, the beginnings and spread of Christianity are debated. Furthermore, the beginnings of Christianity in Cherson are described, likewise the building activities, which resulted in transformation...

THE AIM OF THIS DOCUMENT In connection with the domestic Ukrainian crisis and the external Russian aggression towards the country, we are witnessing a surge of disinformation, falsehoods and facts taken out of context which are to conceal or bias the image of reality. The disinformation thwarts a serious debate on the issues which are crucial for the Ukrainian context and which the Czech public needs to know about. This is why the European Values Think-Tank addressed the prominent Czech and Slovak experts to create this document. Its main goal is to refute the most frequent myths and falsehoods about Ukraine and focus the Czech debate on the real state of affairs. We strongly believe that this document will help various persons (journalists, commentators, editors, analytics, politicians etc.) to understand and shed light on the events in Ukraine. The text was written by a group of experts who have been interested in Ukraine for a long time and are really in touch with the country. The document does not speak in favour of any institution which the authors work for. The European Values Think-Tank is responsible for the content.
