Schwippel, Jindřich ; Ďurčanský, Marek ; Kodera, Pavel

It shows the structure of the topics in interviews (family background, biography, teachers and "invisible school", scientific career, political and financial limits of the research, pupils, women in science and humanities, colleagues and friends etc.).

Russian captivity as the whole-life professional inspiration. War years of botanist Josef Podpěra
Pazdera, David ; Kodera, Pavel
In the introduction of the study authors present their working typologization of career of Czech scientists during WW I. Consequently, they begin with the analysis of a war line of a Czech, or Moravian botanist Josef Podpěra, who is an interesting example how the military conflict in the certain circumstances could be an important benefit for a professional career. On the eve of the war Podpěra was an officer of c. k. Landsturm. In March 1915, when the fortification Přemyšl fell, he was taken as a Russian prisoner and was transported into eastern Russia town Ufa where he began with studying Russian nature and botany, since autum 1915 even under the patronage of the gubernian museum in Ufa. His scientific activity in Ufa was continuing till the approach of Czechoslovak legions which he joined in summer 1918. The continuance in Ufa gave Podpěra a solid base of knowledge of Russian nature and botany, which he built his very succesfull career at Masaryk university in Brno after war on.

The unusual memorial of the victims of Great War in Obříství in Mělník district
Pazdera, David ; Kodera, Pavel
At the introduction of the article the authors attempt to draw a basic standartization of the monuments and memorials of soldiers perished in WW I on the teritory of Czech Lands. Next they keep a thorough analysis of the growth and commemorative using of the memorial of victims of Great War in Obříství village in Mělnicko district. Their intentions is to find the reason why this memorial has an unusual form of a symbolic cemetery which is not typical for this kind of buildings. The reason for the form lies with the fact that the main person who was responsible for the inspiration and organisation of the growth of the memorial was the priest in Obříství Karel Peininger. This is also a very unusual feature of the memorial because the monuments and memorials in Czechoslovakia between the world wars were symbols of a secularized ideology of the new state.
