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

Formy a vývoj kolaborace ve Vichy Petra Šrédlová Abstract This bachelor thesis is dealing with various types of collaboration between France and Germany in the course of years from 1940 to 1944. It focuses on the three most significant types of collaboration, namely state collaboration, economic collaboration and collaborationism. The thesis is divided into three chapters, which are focused on particular kinds of collaboration and every one of them analyses their chronological development within several subheads. The state and economic collaboration took place on the level of government negotiations, in which the Vichy government did not support total collaboration, whereas collaborationism was based on ideological support of Nazi Germany, where the collaborationists supported absolute collaboration. The aim of this thesis is to analyse chronological course of particular types of collaboration focused on the breakdown of transformation of the attitude of individual participants.

Nazi propaganda with the theme of judaism in Národní politika (1939-1941)
Blichová, Larisa ; Dolanský, Pavel (advisor) ; Lysoňková, Lenka (referee)
The thesis is making a qualitative analysis of the Nazi propaganda in Národní politika during the period 1939-1941. These first three years of World War II were most important in shaping the cooperation between the media and the occupying power. The thesis is focused on anti-Semitic propaganda and its development during those three years in one of the most highly read daily newspaper in the Protectorate. Through the examples of a few chosen articles and adverts, this propaganda is shown concretely. The texts are analysed to reveal their true meaning, as well as the real authors and readers. By real authors, I mean the Nazis and the occupying power, as most of the articles from the following period are missing a signature. Texts are chosen from different times of year and from different sections of the paper, and each chapter includes a short overview of the historical context. There is a summary of propaganda tools, trend changes in protectorate communications, and changes in showing Jews at the end of the thesis.

Jägerová, Julie ; Suchánek, Drahomír (advisor) ; Horčička, Václav (referee)
Following thesis deals with relationship between the Catholic Church and a regime established in a part of France during the Second World War. The purpose of the thesis is to analyse main origins of attitude of the Catholic Church towards Vichy France. This attitude is generally considered to be positive. The thesis examines this question only on level of episcopacy. Other levels of possible research are knowingly omitted because of a limited extent of this text. The author emphasizes three main problems of relationship between the Catholic Church and the Vichy regime. Firstly, the thesis focuses on the process of convergence of the Church and the state, secondly this congruity is confronted with moments of clash of opinion between these two elements. Finally, the last chapter deals with post-war situation in France which is connected with purification of the catholic hierarchy. Keywords Catholic Church, France, Vichy, World War II, resistance, collaboration, antisemitism, holocaust, Alfred Baudrillart, Pierre-Marie Gerlier
