Wooden churches from Subcarpathian Ruthenia in CzechoslovakiaChurch of St. Paraskeva in Blansko and the Church of St. Archangel Michael in Prague
Shyshova, Yuliana ; Ottová, Michaela (advisor) ; Royt, Jan (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to work on the issue of wooden churches from the 16th- 18th centuries from Subcarpathian Rus, which were moved to the territory of the Czechoslovak Republic in the interwar period. The thesis was narrowed down in view of the amount of archival material and the findings that emerged from it. The thesis discusses the Church of St. Paraskeva in Blansko and the Church of St. Archangel Michael in Prague. The thesis will provide comprehensive information about the churches, including their architectural history and furnishings, as well as their current condition. Additionally, an attempt at reconstructing the iconostasis in the Church of St. Paraskeva in Blansko will be made. The thesis will focus on the political and religious situation in Subcarpathian Rus and the cultural-historical context of the time, as a result of which these churches came into the possession of the Czechoslovak state. Thorough attention will be given not only to the currently used Church of St. Paraskeva in Blansko but also to the Church of St. Archangel Michael, which was affected by a fire on the premises of the cultural monument Letohrádek Kinských in Prague in 2020.

Space of Zakarpattia in the Czech literature
Krabsová, Veronika ; Peterka, Josef (advisor) ; Mocná, Dagmar (referee)
This thesis deals with the phenomenon of Carpathian Ruthenia, or Zakarpattia, which is one of the most discussed issues in Czech literature. It expands the traditional view of the issue with a chronological survey of works by Czech authors who were inspired by Carpathian Ruthenia, and maps their writings created from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 21st century. It focuses on their interpretation, with particular reference to the topology. The first chapter presents the terminological problems associated with the territory of the Transcarpathian region and briefly summarizes its history. The next chapter submits an account of the exceptional nature of this area (its contrasts, periphery, regionalism, myths, exoticism, idylls and adventures), and attempts to characterize its uniqueness (backwardness, belief in superstitions, Jews, alcoholism, poachers, enchanting countryside and outlaws). Carpathian Ruthenia appears to be a place of secrecy, where hypothetical characters grow. The topology of the mountain is also an important element. The following chapter, the longest, presents most of the works by the Czech authors who were inspired by this region. The first of these authors came to Carpathian Ruthenia during the 1920s as government workers or tourists. Their works are arranged...

Beníšková, Dagmar ; Mravcová, Marie (advisor) ; Vaněk, Václav (referee)
Abstract The thesis deals with the relation of Ivan Olbracht and Subcarpathian Rus. Giving a brief summary of examined territory's history, the authoress attends to Olbracht's Subcarpathian stay and its influence on his work. Olbracht was challenged by the social and political conditions of fossil region to write a set of reportages released in newspaper and afterwards in a double book edition (Země bez jména, Hory a staletí). In the reportages he prepaired a factual and epical field for his prosaic pieces - Nikola Šuhaj loupežník and Golet v údolí (for completeness' sake it's essential to mention Marijka nevěrnice). Authoress devotes herself to a thematic analysis of reportages observing the way Olbracht depicted no longer existing culture and community. She applies this thematic outline on the outlaw novel and the triptych of short stories. It is hereby documented Olbracht's methodics consisting in a stratified narration based on two main layers: factual (empirical) and legendary (poetic).

Feľbaba, Vladimír ; Šouša, Jiří (advisor) ; Kindl, Vladimír (referee)
Establishment of the Ukrainian National Council in Presov, the role and representation of the interests of the Carpathian Ruthenians Abstract The establishment of the Ukrainian National Council in Presov has its historical and legal significance in the history of national minorities in Czechoslovakia.

The presented rigorous work examines the available factual data on the circumstances of the constitution, operation and subsequent activities of this national-political representative of the Ruthenian-Ukrainian minority in Czechoslovakia up to its definitive extinction.

Escape to the Soviet Union and imprisonment in the gulag in memories of surviving Ruthenians and Jews from Carpathian Ruthenia
Urban, Tomáš ; Houda, Přemysl (advisor) ; Krátká, Lenka (referee)
The thesis deals with interpretations of the memories of Ruthenians and Jews who fled to the Soviet Union after the occupation of Carpathian Ruthenia by the Hungarian army in 1939 to find freedom and justice, but instead encountered imprisonment and repression and they ended up in the gulag for several years. On a daily basis, they were exposed to hard physical labor, hunger, thirst, Arctic frost, disease, cruel treatment and a permanent struggle for life. While Czechoslovak citizenship guaranteed Ruthenian citizens a pardon of the remainder of their sentences, early release from Stalinist concentration camps and participation in a training center in Buzuluk, Jews did not get such an opportunity due to alleged Hungarian nationality and had to live in the gulag on and on, even for more time than was determined by the court during the trumped-up political trials. Therefore, the Ruthenians had a significant presence in the formed Czechoslovak military unit and participated in the final defeat of the Hitlerˈs army. For the most part, they did not return to Carpathian Ruthenia because they did not agree with its post-war accession to the USSR, which hurt them so much. Despite this, they did not lose their left-wing orientation, many even joined the Communist Party, believing that Czechoslovak socialism...
