Genesis of the Belarussian National Identity (1863-1958)
Linitskaya, Natallia ; Štaif, Jiří (advisor) ; Pullmann, Michal (referee)
The study follows the process of the construction of belarussian national identity between the second half of the 19th and the first half of the 20th centuries in terms of community of name, language, territory and historical memories. This subjective foundation of a nation does not blend in the belarussian case with the civic model. Historical memory of Kalinovski's Uprising demonstrates the dubiousness of using a common historical past which itself corresponds with that of Russia and Poland. On the contrary, the allocating of belarussian national identity according to social demands was convinient. Unsuccesful vindication of the historical legacy of "Litva" and the failure of Belarussian to become the language of bureaucracy caused a decoupling of the genealogical bonds from the national identity. The longing of "tutejshi" for social happiness facilitated the appropriation of national identity as essentially a soviet one. Belarussians are becoming Belarussians as toiling people who are emancipated in a national state, deliniated by the colonial map. Keywords: Belarus, national identity, nationalism, national state, belorussification, «tutejshi»

Place Of Formation Of The Soviet Man: Traktormakers' Neighborhood In Minsk In Late Stalinism and Postsocialism
Linitskaya, Natallia ; Pešta, Mikuláš (advisor) ; Roubal, Petr (referee) ; Daniel, Ondřej (referee)
Neighborhood in Minsk built for the workers of the tractor plant became a site of creation of soviet man. Architecture of socialist realism itself played a positive role: it played in tune with postwar longing for peaceful life in privacy, with family with comfortable structure of enclosed blocks, and at the same time created a background and scenery of life that elevated man through classicist image. Village youth came to the site driven by the postwar hunger and need to reconstruct their lives together with the country. They became workers, appropriated shop floor practice and were life-long recipients of the soviet distribution system that included housing as the main resource. People learned to live and work for future, "when communism arrives", withdrawing to privacy from the slogans, not paying attention to the latter but in that very moment rejecting the sphere of public life its real power, denying possibility to change.

Discourse on the Belorussian national revival on the basis of the exile textual production in Prague between the two world wars
Linitskaya, Natallia ; Pullmann, Michal (referee) ; Štaif, Jiří (advisor)
The bachelor thesis is an interpretation of the discourse of Belarusian national revival on the basis of textual production of the Prague emigration in the period between the two world wars. The period of time, when the process of national revival was set up in Belarus, goes down to the beginning of the 19th century. The aim of the study is not to examine the separate phases of the moulding of Belarusian nationalism, but to find out their peculiarities and the causes which are responsible for them. The process of the rise of Belarusian national identity requires a new interpretation; therefore the whole discourse of it's formation should be taken in a profound way. The theoretical ground is the stratification of European national movements which was put forward by Miroslav Hroch. The controversary moment consists in the impossibility to place single phases of the Belarusian model of national revival in the Hroch's scheme. The slow start of national revival and numerous difficulties on it's way were caused by permanent oppression of the both of polish and Russian powers on the one hand and resistance to it from the side of Belarusian intellectuals. That's why the model of Belarusian revival is a unique combination characterised by diffusion of it's separate parts and temporal simultaneity of it's gradual...
