Vít MIŠAGA, Christian IV, Mansfeld and the Invasion of Silesia and Moravia. Several Aspects of the Danish Phase of the Thirty Years' War, PhD dissertation, Charles University in Prague 2014 Summary In Czech and European historiography of the early modern period, the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) is one of the most discussed topics. Among Czech historians, there has always been an understandable emphasis on the revolt of the Bohemian estates, also known as the Bohemian phase of the war (1618- 1621). The Danish phase (1625-1629) is considerably less popular. The winners had already been or - to be more precise - seemed to be almost determined, and the further developments of the war did nothing to change the fate of the Czech lands. Analysis of the second half of the 1620s is therefore dominated by other topics - the recatholisation process, exile waves or the character of Albrecht von Wallenstein. Foreign historiographers also seem to downplay Denmark's influence. It is as if King Christian's unsuccessful attempt to fight the Emperor was only biding everyone's time until the "Lion of the North", Gustav II Adolf of Sweden, makes his great entrance. Or at least that is the perspective of an "all-knowing" historian who already knows the result. This thesis is trying to bring a different perspective. It is based...

"Belarussization Episode" in the Process of Formation of the Belarussian Nation
Marková, Alena ; Hroch, Miroslav (advisor) ; Pullmann, Michal (referee) ; Veber, Václav (referee)
Doctoral Thesis Summary "The Belarusization Episode" in the Process of Formation of the Belarusian Nation Alena Marková The subject of this study is the phenomenon of the so-called Belarusization in the territory of the Belarusian Soviet Socialistic Republic in the 1920s. The Belarusization is a unique historical process, which was a local Belarusian equivalent of the policy sanctioned by the all-union communist government promoting national culture of the local nations (of the national languages and others) and of the policy of "indigenization" (korenizace), i. e. installment of ethnically "local" staff in the bureaus of the non-Russian republics of the Soviet Union. This study analyzes the reasoning standing behind the initiation of the Belarusization policy; the execution of this policy was supposed to strengthen the insecure stability of the newly established soviet government and soviet state, and this even at the price of a number of compromises (meaning de facto the support of a growing national movement) toward the respective republics and national intelligentsia, which played a most significant role in the Belarusian conditions. Hence the study pays major attention to the role and status of the Belarusian intelligentsia, who, even though for the most part they weren't in the Communist party, were...

Sobotková, Hana ; Hroch, Miroslav (advisor) ; Řezník, Miloš (referee) ; Moravcová, Mirjam (referee)
The following work is, in general area, focusing on questions of cultural history of 19th and 20th century - mainly to the questions of cultural stereotypes and identities. In the spirit of modern methodological approaches towards studies of history, it presents the comparison of image of Balkan in Czech and French popular science journalism at the turning point of 19th and 20th centuries. The concrete target of the study is to find out what was the image of so called Balkan peninsula, that was offered to the well educated Czech and French public in the sources (mainly magazines) of non-fiction character in between 1875 and 1914. Comparison of Czech and French view of the Balkan represents an attempt for comparison of points of views of the two different cultural and historical environments. The Czech perspective is the view of a "small" (non-state) nation, which was in the given time making an attempt for a cultural and national emancipation in the frame of multinational empire. On the other side is the French perspective of a "big" (state) nation, which has been, at the turning point of the 19th and 20th century, a cultural, political and colonial power. The aspect of methodology of this work is inspired by the modern methodological approaches focused on studying cultural stereotypes and identities. The...
