Russian Political Reform – the Solution to the Crisis of the Russian State?
Vlček, Radomír
Russia's Political Reform – The Solution to the Russian State's Crisis deals with the genesis and development of a complex of reforms by which various Russian state officials have sought over the centuries to modernize Russia as a state in terms of its power, size, and the capacity of political and power competition. In all its parts, it openly and covertly asks whether it could have been prevented by revolutionary explosions, especially the Russian Revolution of 1917. It focuses primarily on the personality of Pyotr Jakovlevich Stolypin, Prime Minister of the Russian Empire from 1906 to 1911, but shows the genesis of his ideas in the deep past. Stolypin presents himself as a figure who has tried to push through a broad and also far-reaching set of reforms, the most significant of which were those on the agrarian issue. However, Stolypin's other attempts at change, especially on a social, administrative and judicial level, do not go unnoticed either. He's trying to show Stolypin without embellishing and in the context of historical events. The work has an analytical-synthetic character. It is a contribution to the history of ideas and ideologies, in the field of finding alternatives to the development of the Russian state and Russian society takes the form of a case study. Due to the lack of monitoring of this problem in Czech history, it relies on foreign, mainly Russian literature and edited sources.

After this war, several hundred Czechs returned to their homeland. In World War II, they rejoined the resistance and formed the foundation of the 1st Czechoslovak Army Corps. After the war, most of them claimed re-emigration. The Czechs in Volhynia experienced what Soviet communism was like, as well as persecution, collectivization, and also Ukrainian nationalism. However, returning to the homeland was not easy, and their repatriation was accompanied by many difficulties. Many of them disagreed with the incoming communist regime and warned the population of Czechoslovakia against it. A big number of Volhynian Czechs were kept under surveillance and imprisoned by the communist regime. Love for the country and hard work have always been significant in the history of Volhynian Czechs.
