The thesis aims to analyze the perspective on the Northern Irish conflict (The Troubles) presented to its readers by Rudé právo (The Red Right), a periodical publication. The research is based on the premise that Rudé právo expressed the viewpoint of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (KSČ) and thus the KSČ's stance on the Northern Irish conflict. The study examines the preferences of Rudé právo, and by extension, the KSČ, towards the various conflicting factions in Northern Ireland, along with the factors influencing these preferences. The analysis focuses on articles published in Rudé právo that addressed events in Northern Ireland during the investigated period. Of particular importance for the analysis are contributions from correspondents and associates of Rudé právo abroad, as they are the most comprehensive and prominently reflect the authors' opinions. The scope of the study is chronologically delimited to the years 1970 to 1975, thereby concentrating on the most violent phases of the conflict. Keywords: Northern Ireland, Great Britain, Northern Irish conflict, The Troubles, Rudé právo, Communist Party of Ireland, Communist Party of Czechoslovakia.
