The thesis focuses on economic development in the Soviet Union in the late 20s and in the first half of the 30s of the 20th century. An accent is placed mainly on collectivisation of agriculture during the first five-year plan. The theoretical part of the thesis is dedicated to the centrally planned economy, previous economic history of the USSR and Stalin's concept of economic policy. The analytical part of the thesis deals with the process of collectivization and evaluation of the social and economic outcomes and consequences, specifically on the territory of Volhynia, where thousands of Czech citizens emigrated. The hypothesis, that Volhynian Czechs were not directly affected by forced collectivization, was disproved. As a result of collectivization the number of czech population in Volhynia decreased by 30%. The first five-year plan featured a big step towards modernization and self-sufficiency of the country, but in the agricultural sector failed.

The transformation of the Czech economy and its affect on foreign trade
Komorová, Eliška ; Klosová, Anna (advisor) ; Gullová, Soňa (referee)
Transformation of a central planned economy into a market economy is a difficult process that caused many changes in the social, political and economic sphere. In this period of time, state owned companies must have been privatized, the prices and foreign trade must have been liberalized, and the foreign trade policy must have been changed and adapted to the European standards. These fundamental changes reflected in the macroeconomic development of the Czech Republic and in the territorial and commodity structure of Czech foreign trade. The aim of the bachelor thesis is to evaluate the course of the transformation era and to provide information about its impact on foreign trade of the Czech Republic.

Industrialization of the Soviet Union in the 30s of the 20th century
Šafránek, Patrik ; Fabianková, Klára (advisor) ; Chalupecký, Petr (referee)
The thesis concerns industrialization of the Soviet Union in the 30s of the 20th century and tries to assess its economic and social results. An emphasis is placed mainly on the first five-year plan which lasted in years 1929 -- 1932. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with the centrally planned economy and the theory of totalitarianism. I have come to the conclusion that the directive economy is not suitable as a long-term form of organization of production of society. The main hypothesis is that extensive investment to heavy industry caused quantitative growth of macroeconomic indicators which was accompanied by reduction in the standard of living of most of inhabitant of the Soviet Union. This hypothesis managed to partially prove true despite the fact that the average consumption per capita increased during the reporting period. Among the basic factors of reduction in the standard of living belonged the restriction of personal freedoms associated with the creation of a totalitarian regime, introduction of the system of internal passports and forced collectivization of Soviet agriculture.
