Repatriation Policy of Poland on the Example of Pole's Card
Mařík, Jan ; Kubát, Michal (advisor) ; Kaleta, Petr (referee)
The present thesis applies the method of historical institutionalism to analyze the repatriation policies of Poland and the way they have worked in practice. It describes the development of repatriation from the territory of the former Soviet Union, starting from the First World War to present. It examines the institutional changes that contributed to the current Repatriation Act and puts these changes into a deeper context. The following section introduces the "Karta Polaka" (lit. The Pole's Card), which according to the lawmakers, aims at materializing its holder's moral commitment to Polonia. To ensure the proper working of the "Karta Polaka"in practice, it was also necessary to amend the Citizenship Act - the relevant components of which will be also discussed in the thesis. By describing the development of the institution of the "Karta Polaka", my goal is to prove that the primary aim of helping the Polish diaspora in the East is no longer entirely true. In addition, thanks to the simple conditions for obtaining the "Karta Polaka", as well as a series of amendments to the law, it rather serves the purpose of repatriation, as the holders of the card can apply for Polish citizenship after a year. Although both laws are aimed at a different group of people, the "Karta Polaka" is gradually taking over the...

Travelers between the Czechoslovakia and the Great Britain in the years 1945-1948
Kučera, Jaroslav ; Mücke, Pavel (advisor) ; Wohlmuth, Petr (referee)
This thesis deals with the postwar travelers between Czechoslovakia and Great Britain in 1945 - 1948 and it is thematiclly divided into three chapters. The first part focuses on the impacts of the war on European countries and mainly on Czechoslovakia, Breat Britain and Germany. It mainly emphasizes the state of transport infrastructure, which has played a key role in bringing people back home. An important part of these returns was also the sophisticated plan that the Czechoslovak government in exile created. The second part examines the development of Czechoslovak - British relations as well as the work of diplomatic and cultural institutions which played a key role in providing foreign internships and foreign study programs. Through study programs, many students and researchers could visit Great Britain. The work of Czechoslovak exiles and their influence on the British public is also taken into account in this work. The final part examines the travel conditions in post - war Europe. It tries to examine these travel conditions from historical sources and mainly the written and audiovisual memories of the witnesses. The emphasis here is on the description of repatriation from the United Kingdom and on the restoration of civilian transport routes, which have recovered quite quickly after 1945.

Chꞌongryŏn Organization and ethnic pro-North Koreans in Japan
Andrýsková, Adéla ; Löwensteinová, Miriam (advisor) ; Horák, Tomáš (referee)
Theme of this bachelor thesis is the origin of pro-North Korean General Association of Korean Residents in Japan. Foundation of this organization is a result of several years' process connected with immigration of Korean ethnic minority to Japan after 1910 and subsequent decision of approximately 600.000 of Koreans for residing in Japan 3 years after the World War II. In the first part, I depict a period in the space of years from 1910 to 1955. I describe grounds of stay more than 2 million of Koreans at Japan's territory after capitulation of Japan in the Second World War as well as the effort of Japanese connected with assimilation of Koreans despite their attitude to them as lower subordinates of the emperor of Japan. Next I describe conditions of Korean minority in Japan during the period of the Allied occupation of Japan at the end of World War II. I also introduce the League of Koreans in Japan, which represented and associated the Korean minority. Because of its leftist disposition the League of Koreans in Japan is usually wrongly associated with precedence of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan. In the second part, I illustrate in more details the legal status of Koreans in Japan and especially the origin, organizational structure, politics and other themes related to the...
