Pylyp Orlyk and International Relations in the 18th Century Europe
Poian, Lucie ; Mokryk, Radomyr (advisor) ; Příhoda, Marek (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the foreign policy activities of Pylyp Orlyk (1672−1742), a close associate of Ivan Mazepa and Ukrainian hetman in exile in 1710−1742. While in exile, Orlyk repeatedly tried to sway the European courts to the idea of an autonomous Cossack state. This paper presents the ideological sources of his political orientation, analyzes the goals of his diplomacy, as well as the means by which they were achieved. Hetman's efforts are set in the broader context of European diplomacy in the first half of the 18th century and the context of the (proto)Ukrainian foreign policy tradition. The work has the potential to provide new insights into the historical perception of Ukrainian space in Europe, which makes it deeply topical. It draws on relevant monographs by Ukrainian and foreign authors and edited sources. Key words: Ukraine, cossacks, 18th century, Ivan Mazepa, autonomy, Rzeczpospolita

Ivan the Terrible in Russian Cinema
Filipčenko, Kamilya ; Příhoda, Marek (advisor) ; Leshkova, Olga (referee)
(in English): The focus of this work is a depiction of tsar Ivan the Terrible and his government in Russian films. The interest in the historical figure of the first Russian tsar has been persisting among filmmakers since the beginning of cinematography in Russia. This is the most complex and interesting, but also one of the cruellest characters in world history. Over the years the image of Ivan the Terrible was transforming in motion pictures, so for the analysis of this change were selected films from different periods of Russian history - tsarist, soviet, and current time. The theme is understood from a diachronic perspective. Additionally, this work is examining the historical context in which the filmmakers were located and the external influences that acted on them and their work. As this work will show most of the selected films held a negative stand on the image of the tsar Ivan the Terrible. Only during Stalin's era, the image of the Muscovite's ruler has been changed in many ways to suit the ideological requirements of that time.

Image of Foreigner in Moscovian Texts about Time of Troubles of 17th Century
Leshkova, Olga ; Příhoda, Marek (advisor) ; Čermák, Václav (referee)
The objective of the master's thesis is to analyze the image of foreigners in Moscovian texts written during the Time of Troubles and soon after it in early 17th century. The thesis will also focus on the perception of foreign influence on political and cultural development of Russian state and society. Due to the fact that the perception of foreigners in Muscovite Russia can be regarded in many aspects as a result of traditional religious and historical thinking concepts which had been widespread in the country by the end of the 16th century, we will pay particular attention to the formation of medieval Moscovian thinking. By means of discourse and comparative analysis we will try to fulfil the following goals: 1) to study the religious and historical thinking formation process in medieval Russia up to the beginning of the 17th century; 2) to analyze various specific features of Moscovian texts from early 17th century in terms of foreigners' perception; 3) to put the issue of foreigners' perception into a wider cultural and historical context, especially with regard to appropriate literature and thinking tradition. This study is based on Moscovian texts of different nature, which reflect the Time of Troubles. We also use a wide range of appropriate secondary literature. Key Words: Time of...

Epoch of so-called Smuta in 1605-1613 in the mirror of Russian historiography (from Karamzin to Klyuchevsky)
Novotná, Anna ; Příhoda, Marek (advisor) ; Tumis, Stanislav (referee)
Anna Novotná Epoch of so-called Smuta in 1605-1613 in the mirror of Russian historiography (from Karamzin to Klyuchevsky) Abstract: The bachelor thesis deals with reflection of Times of Troubles events in Russia at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries in modern Russian historiography of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. The attention is paid to view development of selected historians (N. M. Karamzin; N. G. Ustryalov; S. M. Solovyov; N. I. Kostomarov; D. I. Ilovaysky; V. O. Klyuchevsky) on three phenomenons: the role of the monarch, the role of the church and relation to aliens. The historians can be classified in three groups. The generation of historians (Karamzin, Ilovaysky and Ustryalov) represents the transition from Enlightenment historiography to historiography of the period of National Revival (Kostomarov). Historian Solovyov represents turning point to scientific historiography. Culmination of modern attitude to material of the discussed period is the work of Klyuchevsky. Following changes of attitude of individual authors to these phenomenons reflects changes of Russian thinking in the course of the 19th century. Key Words: Russia; historiography; 16th and 17th centuries; the Time of Troubles; autocracy; usurpers, orthodox-church; alien; Boris Godunov; False Dmitry I.; Vasily...

The conception of the Soviet period in Russian school textbooks after 2000
Šolle, Cyril ; Příhoda, Marek (advisor) ; Leshkova, Olga (referee)
The main focus of this work is the interpretation of soviet period in contemporary Russian historic textbooks. The text describes the evolution of textbooks and the politics of Russian government in the field of historical education. I am also mentioning the previous periods - the 90s and glasnost. The theme is understood from diachronic perspective. As the work shows the development between these periods can be relatively conclusively defined. After the plurality of historical interpretations in the glasnost period and the 90s there is a shift under the patronage of Putin that tends to unify the textbook's interpretations and points out their socializing (meaning identification) role with the help of patriotic interpretations of historical events. I examined the textbooks with the help of narrative analysis, this analysis is explained in more detail in the first segment of the work. Narrative analysis is used in a way that points out the development mentioned earlier - with help of Hayden White's method I examined potential of socialization in the textbook's interpretations, that grows stronger with the changes that took place after the year 2000. The next method of narrative analysis, which highlights the role of individual characters in the story, allowed me to point out the aspect seemingly common for...

Vacík, Ivo ; Pelikán, Jan (advisor) ; Příhoda, Marek (referee)
This dissertation 1S leaded by two goals. The first one is to show the controversial posture of the first Croatian president from the Croatian society point of view. For this purpose I use the biographies of Franjo Tudman and the politicallysatirical magazine "Feral Tribune". The second goal is to make Czech readers aware of the Croatian social phenomenon which is "Feral Tribune", the only real opposing and the most critical magazine of Franjo Tudman' s govemment and also remarkable factor of creating democracy and liberty which has developed in the nineties of the 20th century. Again - I use Franjo Tudman as an example. By these two examples we can easily see the entire atmosphere of the Croatian society in the last decade of the 20th century and the beginning of new mi11ennium. Part of this text is also a description ofthe media market situation during the Franjo Tudman's leadership.

Veniamin and Juraj Križanić in Russia
Příhoda, Marek ; Pelikán, Jan (advisor) ; Svatoň, Vladimír (referee)
Práce je formálně rozdělena na dvě samostatné části - "Juraj Križanié v Rusku" a "Veniamin v Rusku". Podobný přístup je dán faktem, že oba zkoumaní autoři žili v různých dějinných epochách a jejich díla vznikala v rozdílné historické situaci a s jiným záměrem. Přes tyto odlišnosti jsme přesvědčeni, že psát o nich v rámci jedné práce má svoje opodstatnění a svůj smysl. Oba působili v Rusku v obdobích jeho historie, která můžeme charakterizovat jako přechodná. V případě Veniamina v údobí vymezeném ukončením formální závislosti moskevského vládce na tatarských chánech (1480), sjednocením velké části severovýchodní Rusi do jednoho celku s centrem v Moskvě a dobou Ivana IV. Hrozného (1547 - 1584). U Križaniée se jednalo o dobu mezi tzv. Smutou (1584 - 1613) a nástupem nové dynastie Romanovců ( 1613) na jedné straně a reformami Petra I. (1689 - 1725) na straně druhé. Jejich názory se utvářely zcela pod vlivem tradice evropského Západu, přesto se oba (každý vlastním způsobem) stali součástí duchovnosti staré Rusi a reagovali na situaci, v níž se moskevský stát jejich doby nacházel. Oba s sebou na Východ přinesli nové impulsy a oba (byť v odlišných podmínkách a rozsahu) ovlivnili (nebo se o to vědomě pokusili) politický a myšlenkový vývoj Moskevské Rusi.
