Nation-Building in unrecognised states: Case study, Transnistrian Moldovan Republic
Viktora, Matyáš ; Šír, Jan (advisor) ; Šisler, Filip (referee)
The topic of this case study is the national identity of the unrecognised Transnistrian Moldovan Republic. The study draws from the constructivist assumption that every national identity is constructed by intellectual, political and other elites. The study seeks answers to the question of whether there is a separate Transnistrian identity, how is such identity constructed, on which foundations it is being built and which tools are being involved in the process. The study begins with the history of the region in the context of Russian and Soviet colonialist policies of Russification, Moldovanisation and managed immigration. This chapter is followed by theoretical chapter on the theme of national identity. The main part of the work sets out to identify the tools, which are being used by the regime to create the national identity: The propaganda, politicized historiography and language policies. These tools are in turn compared with the previous colonial policies of Russification and Moldovanisation in the conclusion.

After the death of J. V. Stalin, there was relaxation in relations within the eastern bloc. Romanian communists, under the leadership of Gheorgiu-Dej, had very ambitious plans for the industrialisation of the country, which would guarantee them national sovereignty. A significant moment during was the withdrawal of the Soviet troups from Romania in 1958. Khrushchev's criticism of Stalin's Cult of Personality, combined with his policy of peaceful coexistence with the West, enabled Romania to pursue its own way towards socialism based on the polycentric perception of the world communist movement, national sovereignty, and independence. Contradictions existed between the two countries, not only in bilateral relations, but in international organisations of the eastern bloc, such as CMEA and the Warsaw Pact. Soviet proposals for economic specialisation of the CMEA countries and for transforming the Warsaw Pact into an supra-national organisation were considered unacceptable to Romanians. Romania sought support for its economic plans in maoist China. The dismissive position of Romania towards the Soviet proposals differed...

The presented diploma thesis deals with bilateral relations between Czechoslovakia and Romania during first years after the World War II. It is concentrated primarily on research of the political and economical relations. The introduction is followed by the brief summary of tradition of the mutual bilateral cooperation in the framework of Little Entente. Next chapter occupies itself with the negotiations of Romanian exile politicians with the Allies concerning the armistice treaty in which Czechoslovak diplomatic representatives of the exile government in London played a key role. The following part describes and analyses the process of re- establishment of the diplomatic relations between Czechoslovakia and Romania after the war. The chapter presenting the situation of Czechs and Slovaks living in Romania between 1944- 1945 follows after that. Two texts about the contribution of Romanian military troops on the liberation of Czechoslovakian territory and about the post-war re-emigration of Czech and Slovakian compatriots from Romania back to Czechoslovakia represent an essential part of this diploma thesis. The following chapter deals with the Czechoslovakian attitude towards the prepared peace treaty with Romania during the Paris Peace Conference negotiations in 1946. The penultimate part...
