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
