Publicly held opinions of Josef Kliment in the interwar period
Heidenreich, Jiří ; Čechurová, Jana (advisor) ; Šedivý, Ivan (referee)
The topic of this bachelor's thesis is the work of doc. Josef Kliment (1901-1978) and his opinions presented during the twenty-year period of the Czechoslovak (1918- 1938) and Czecho-Slovak (1938-1939) Republics. Josef Kliment, a lawyer, historian of the law, pedagogue and publicist, became an infamous figure in the protectorate's presidential office, who was repeatedly accused of collaboration and active pro- German agitation. But what were Kliment's publicly presented views before this period? Did he really hold positions that we could call undemocratic or anti-regime during the time of the free republic? Through the analysis of Kliment's activity, especially the publishing one, the submitted work will try to answer these questions. The work is primarily based on the analysis of newspaper articles and materials from Josef Kliment's personal collection, stored in the Archives of the National Museum. The most widely represented periodical, in which Josef Kliment also published most often, was Demokratický střed, from which the author of this work also drew the most often. Other sources can be named, for example, Národní politika, Studentský obzor, Všehrd, or Národní listy. His smaller works, studies and, in addition, Kliment's correspondence were also used. For a comprehensive treatment of the set...

Czechoslovak Tourism in Socialist Yugoslavia. Institutions, Imaginations and Reality.
Jelínek, Martin ; Čechurová, Jana (advisor) ; Rychlík, Jan (referee)
International tourism has become a common part of human life. This phenomenon, originating in the modernization of society in the 19th century, has undergone a complex and long development. From its initial stages, when it was reserved for high society, through the understanding of its economic potential for the modern state and economy, to the final massification of international tourism in the second half of the 20th century. In a bipolar world, the specifics of the development of international tourism are shown with respect to which side of the Iron Curtain this tourism is developing on. A special example is if the development takes place somewhere on the border of both blocks. Czechoslovak tourism heading to Yugoslavia is a good example of blending the Eastern approach to traveling abroad with a specific model of the Yugoslav perspective on the phenomenon of tourism. Czech and Slovak tourists have been regular guests since the 19th century, heading precisely to the countries that made up the Yugoslav state. The presented work deals with how the institutionalization of Czechoslovak tourism in socialist Yugoslavia developed and was anchored, i.e. which institutions and in what way they ensured tourism, how and with which institutions on the Yugoslav side they were forced to cooperate and how this...

Reflection of women's suffrage in the daily press from the founding of the Czechoslovak Republic to the first parliamentary elections
Sazimová, Terezie ; Čechurová, Jana (advisor) ; Šedivý, Ivan (referee)
The topic of the bachelor's thesis is women's suffrage and its reflection in the Czechoslovak daily press in the period from the establishment of the independent Czechoslovak state to the important milestone of the first parliamentary elections. Women fought for their voting rights several years before the founding of Czechoslovakia, and only its creation enabled them to speak into political life through the ballot, parliamentary mandate or membership in the municipal council. Some women even sat as deputies in the Revolutionary National Assembly in November 1918. Women's suffrage was thus not only a new democratic element, but at the same time women became potential voters and members of political parties. Not only party newspapers had to reflect this fact. Therefore, the aim of the work is to determine in what ways different party and independent periodicals reacted and approached the issue of women's active and passive suffrage within the monitored period. The text of the thesis will be based mainly on the Czech party press of the strongest Czechoslovak political parties - the Republican Party of the Czechoslovak Countryside, the Czechoslovak Socialist Party, the Czechoslovak Social Democratic Labor Party, the Czechoslovak People's Party and the Czechoslovak National Democratic Party. In...

Hájková, Adéla ; Čechurová, Jana (advisor) ; Stehlík, Michal (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the "Kulak" action, which was carried out by the State Security in Czechoslovakia in 1951-1953 as part of the collectivization of agriculture. Using micro- history, it focuses on the region of Vysoké Mýto and the fate of the local farmers, who were forcibly evicted with their entire families and their property was confiscated. The first chapters of the work look at the whole issue of displacement on a general scale. They consider the overall situation of the Czechoslovak People's Democratic Republic, its process of collectivization, the creation of the United Agricultural Cooperatives, and the state of the laws at the time that enabled these processes. After presenting the context and general information, the chapters focus on their specific impact, using the example of the municipality of Stradouň. Five so-called family units were evicted from this village, i.e., the farmer and all those who shared a household with him. All five family units were taken on the same day 18 April 1952, to the district of Roudnice nad Labem. The work is based on archive materials and specialist literature. Keywords: Collectivization - kulak - district Vysoke Myto - United Agricultural Cooperative - people's courts

Kurusová, Lucie ; Čechurová, Jana (advisor) ; Randák, Jan (referee)
This bachelor's thesis depicts the form of Czechoslovak Scouting in exile in England in the years 1939-1945. One of the main aims of this thesis is to find out the role of the English exile in the history of the Czech Scouting movement, including the development of membership and the progress or regression of the organisation Junák - Svaz skautů a skautek RČS. Other questions are the relationship of the exile scout organization to the Czechoslovak government in exile or a form of contact and possible cooperation with other youth organisations in exile. The protagonist of the Czechoslovak exile scout activities was Velen Fanderlik, so most of the sources are related to him. Apart from the activities of the exile scouts and their relationship with the exile environment, the thesis also deals with the context of the Czechoslovak Scouting before the Second World War and the formation of Rover scout groups in military units.

The dissertation submitted aims at forming a political portrait of JUDr Jiří Branžovský (1898-1955), an important representative of the extreme right-wing political scene during the so called First Czechoslovak Republic.
