Augustin Komanec (1885-1953)
Hlava, Luděk ; Kubín, Petr (advisor) ; Šmíd, Marek (referee)
This thesis deals with the life story of Augustin Komanec, dean of Slaný, a man standing among many other anonymous priests who were persecuted for their firm human and Christian attitudes towards the Church and its bishops in the early 1950's. Augustin Komanec was one of those tried by the totalitarian communist regime in fabricated trials. He was not sentenced to death, nevertheless the stiffness of the punishment led to the ultimate sacrifice. He died soon after he had been sent to the communist prison in Mírov. Based on documents available, the work presents Komanec's both civil and clerical life from 1885 to 1948 and then from the communist coup to his death in 1953. The aim of the work is to present the destiny of this brave person, who refused to give in to the totalitarian power and who represented the real enemy of this power: the Church, courageous and free.

Muczková, Michaela ; Mlejnek, Josef (advisor) ; Halamka, Tomáš (referee)
The bachelor thesis called The Číhošť Miracle as a Theme and a Tool of Communist Propaganda deals with the usage of propaganda in the campaign against so called miracle in Číhošť which was led in the 50s of the 20th century by the Communist Party of the Czechoslovakia. In the first part this thesis presents the theoretical basic for the analysis carried out in the research part. There is introduced the theory of totalitarianism which is essential to capture the mood at that time and the conditions in the Czechoslovakian society, and subsequently the theory of propaganda as the instrument inherently connected with the totalitarian regimes. To the perfect illustration this thesis later proposes the concrete context of the 50s in the Czechoslovakia where the key element was the rise of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia to the power and its relationship with the Catholic Church. The Číhošť Miracle itself is analyzed separately where there is chiefly introduced its process as well as its consequences for the Parson Josef Toufar and the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia. The second part is practical and based on the methodological inclusion and the presented theory there is an ongoing analysis of the historical sources. These texts are the selected articles from the daily newspapers such as Rudé právo and...

A pilgrimage through the hard times through the eyes of K.Tučková and O.Tokarczuk.
KREJČIŘÍKOVÁ, Jindra
This diploma thesis attempts to capture the importance of the literature of fiction as a phenomenon necessary for the understanding of today's world. It points to the contribution of Kateřina Tučková's and Olga Tokarczuk's writings, which can help readers to relate historical events to today's reality. Whether it is the book "Vyhnání Gerty Schnirch", which deals with the expulsion of German inhabitants from the Czechoslovakia after the Second World War, or the story of the goddess of Kopanice in the times of the communist regime in the book "Žítkovské bohyně". The book "Knihy Jakubovy" by Olga Tokarzcuk tells us the fate of the self-proclaimed Jewish messiah Jakub Frank and his followers in 18th century Poland. Further, this diploma thesis deals with the world of literature and readers of our time and the possibilities that the world of books can bring to us and our children in today's over-technological time.

Geaney, Kathleen Brenda ; Vojtěchovský, Ondřej (advisor) ; Rychlík, Jan (referee) ; Čapková, Kateřina (referee)
Doctoral Dissertation PhDr. Kathleen Brenda Geaney English-Speaking Communists, Communist Sympathizers and Fellow- Travellers and Czechoslovakia in the Early Cold War (Anglicky mluvící komunisté, komunističtí sympatizanti a podporovatelé a Československo v počátcích studené války) Abstract The dissertation is a study of some of those people with Communist Party affiliations and fellow-travellers, who journeyed behind the Iron Curtain to see for themselves what life was like in the new people's democracy. The research focuses on Czechoslovakia as a tourist destination for a surprising number of anglophones in the early years of the Cold War. It argues that Soviet experience served as a best practices model for officialdom in Prague. This was modified where necessary to take into account the lessons learnt, national particulars, and the new geopolitical context. In both situations, foreigners were evaluated in terms of importance and potential as far as the communist cause was concerned. Key words: Czechoslovakia, communism, Cold War, English-speaking foreigners, hospitality techniques
