The phenomenon of death in the Czechoslovak legions in Russia in the years 1914 - 1920
Boháčková, Ilona ; Šedivý, Ivan (advisor) ; Randák, Jan (referee)
The topic of the submitted diploma thesis originates from the methodological concept of both historical anthropology and history of mentality as well as everyday life history. The aim of the thesis is the attempt to find a reply to the question what death meant in the lives of soldiers, in what ways they were coping with fear, pain, suffering, in what ways they perceived violence - the inevitable part of their wartime world. The topic of the thesis itself is a complex view of dying and death of Czechoslovak legionaries on the Russian frontline during the First World War, processed mainly on the basis of analysis of historic resources, stored in both the Central Military Archive and Historical Military Archive and on study of ego-documents (correspondence, diaries and personal records of particular participants of the war). In the first part the variety of forms of death have been analysed: death at the battlefront, death in field hospitals, voluntary death or death as a punishment. The second part deals with feelings and mood of fighting men in relation to death, how they accepted it and were able to cope with it, it analyses stress factors, which soldiers had to face and it studies possibilities of defence against the stress of war and death. The third part brings closer the facts concerning...

That's the way we fought and died. World of a legionary in the press reflection of Czechs and Slovaks in Russia in years 1914-1920.
Boháčková, Ilona ; Čechurová, Jana (advisor) ; Šedivý, Ivan (referee)
The topic of this bachelor paper is an insight on the life of the soldiers fighting under the banner of the Czechoslovakian legions on the Russian front during the First World War. The paper does not deal with the situation on the battlefields but tries to show the life of the soldiers at the base, their pastime, when they put their guns aside and dealt with the usual daily routines. The crucial sources of information about the daily life of a legionnaire were the foreign resistance magazines made by the soldiers themselves. The opening part of this paper introduces the individual types of the printed matter issued in Russia and describes why and under what circumstances they were written. The following chapters describe how the soldiers spent their free time, what they did, how they had fun, or what problems they dealt with. The attention is given not only to the life of the troops at the base on the eastern front but also to the transport over the Siberian Railroad to the east and the evacuation of the troops on ships to Europe.
