Hubený, David ; Rychlík, Jan (advisor) ; Plachý, Jiří (referee) ; Němeček, Jan (referee)
Loss of Sub-Carpathian Ruthenia at the End of World War 2 David Hubený Czechoslovakia came by Sub-Carpathian Ruthenia completely unexpectedly after World War 1. The Republic tried with dedication to help the Slavonic population of the region, hardly aware of their nationality, get rid of poverty and ignorance. Sub-Carpathian Ruthenia, however, did not fit into the concept of Czechoslovak statehood. Some Czechoslovak politicians (e.g. Karel Kramář) only perceived the mission of the Republic at Sub-Carpathian Ruthenia as the role of a "faithful trustee" that should hand Sub-Carpathian Ruthenia over to Russia when the right time comes. On the other hand, Czechoslovak Communists called the region Trans-Carpathian Ukraine as early as 1920s and alleged that the local Slavonic population are Ukrainians. The Republic did not want to get involved in the ethnic development. At the time of the "Second Republic", power in Sub-Carpathian Ruthenia was seized by Ukrainian Nationalists, who colluded with Nazis. The former saw Sub-Carpathian Ruthenia as kind of Ukrainian Piemont, which would unite all Ukrainians in one state, while the latter found it a perfect tool to destabilize the USSR by opening up the hot Ukrainian issue. Relations of Czechoslovak security services to Ukrainian Nationalists were really bad. Ukrainian...

Bachelor's thesis The Reverent Act in Lidice in 1945 - mass media reflexion v. historical facts and survivor's memories provides, as the name already predicts, insight into the issues of post-war production of the representative Czechoslovakian media. How did the publications and the radio back then inform about the event which had an impact far beyond internal affairs? In which context did the media remind the general public of the tragedy of Lidice? Did the mass media use their capacity for cooperation in recovering missing women and children? How did they deal with the blame of Nazi criminals and the blame of the entire German nation as a whole? What was the point of view of the media of the Reverent Act? And how large a part of its original record did they get over to the general public? Were pieces of information rather true or not? Was the Reverent Act abused by the media for the propagation of their own ideological interests? Which reflection did they make of western countries and how much did it differ from a reflection of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics? The author of this Bachelor's thesis tried to find answers to these and the following questions. The thesis is based primarily on the exploration of extant archival material, such as the articles in Lidová demokracie, Právo lidu,...
