Ukrainian Nationalism in Programmes of Main Political Parties in Ukraine from Orange Revolution until Present
Rychterová, Ludmila ; Příhoda, Marek (advisor) ; Chlaňová, Tereza (referee)
The paper focuses on searching for nationalist ideology in programmes of the ma- in political parties in Ukraine from the Orange Revolution to 2012. Despite the phra- se "until present" in the title of the paper, the author chose not to reflect on the cur- rent complicated situation in Ukraine, and she focuses on the developmentally coherent period of 2004-2012. In that period, the main political parties had already undergone a certain development and they usually had a firm ideological basis in their pro- grammes. The main seven Ukrainian political parties characterised in this paper are: The Freedom, The Fatherland, Our Ukraine, The Party of Regions, The UDAR, The Communist Party of Ukraine and The ront for Change. The definition of the concept of nationalism and specifics in Ukraine are emphasized in this paper, which helps to further develop the typology of nationalism that is present in some of the program- mes of the main political parties in Ukraine. The most specific form of nationalism is found in The Svoboda, therefore the author reserved more space for it in this paper.

Steinbergerová, Petra ; Příhoda, Marek (advisor) ; Leshkova, Olga (referee)
The main topic of the thesis is an investigation of the image of Boris Godunov and his reign in sources of selected Russian historical narrations on the Time of Troubles of the first half of the 17th century. The thesis pays attention to the historical sources and describes selected literary texts and their authors. It also uses relevant secondary literature to briefly describe the period of the turn of the 16th and the 17th centuries. This period, also known as the Time of Troubles, became a phenomenon, which remarkably went down in history and became a topic not only for contemporaries, but also for the next generation of scientists. Based on given literary texts the work afterwards describes the characteristics of Boris Godunov and defines particular turning points of his activity at the court and of his own reign, which we can encounter in historical narrations. Key words Boris Godunov, Time of Troubles, Pretenders, Ivan IV Vasilyevich, Fyodor I Ivanovich, Russia, Ivan Timofeyev, Avraamy Palitsyn

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...

Veniamin, Ivan Peresvětov, Juraj Križanić in Russia (and historio-cultural context of their works)
Příhoda, Marek ; Svatoň, Vladimír (advisor) ; Lášek, Jan Blahoslav (referee) ; Veber, Václav (referee)
Monk Veniamin (2nd half of the 15th century), Ivan Peresvětov (1st half of the 16 th century) and Juraj Križanić (1617/1618-1683) are remarkable thinkers of the late Middle Ages and the early Modern Period. There are several interesting features common to all three of them which make the research of their works in a single monograph well-founded and inspiring. Each of the authors came to the territory of the Moscovian state from a different cultural and linguistic milieu. In each case the moment of their arrival and their stay in the country could be classified as a landmark in the historical and spiritual development of Eastern Europe, accompanied by a revaluation and relativization of the preceding tradition. Monk Veniamin arrived in Novgorod during the final phase of the process of "the collecting of Russian lands" when a fundamental question for the Moscovian society opened - the issue of the Church possession and its potential secularization. Ivan Peresvětov came to Russia at the beginning of the reign of Ivan IV. Vasiljevič in a period of prospective changes; Juraj Križanić on the eve of the reforms initiated by Petr I. Alexejevič. At the point of their arrivals to Russia Veniamin, Peresvětov and Križanić were all well-experienced men with a great intellectual outfit originating beyond the spiritual...
