Formation of the image of Soviet Russia in Czechoslovakia between World Wars
Lomíček, Jan ; Jančík, Drahomír (referee) ; Štaif, Jiří (advisor)
The image of Soviet Russia in Czechoslovakia between W orld Wars was the result of persona! experiences of the visitors mentioned in their literary works. The amount of places these visitors were able to visit was relatively small and that is why the reality shown in their works is distorted. In some cases such a distorted image was created by the institutions monitoring foreigners in the Soviet territory. It was VOKS (V sesojuznoe obščestvo dlja kuľtumoj svjazi s zagranicej) and the Soviet state travel agency Intourist, to name the most significant of them. Also the writers who tried to present an objective description of the situation in the Soviet Union were often dependent on theoretical information without the possibility to verify their theories in practice. A significant number of left-wing intelectuals considered the dictatorship of the proletariat to be a politi cal vanguard. They sticked to these behefs because they did not have any opportunity to discover the rea! consequences of Bolshevik govemment on the people in the Soviet Union.

The impact of IMF financial aid on economic growth and inflation
Covalenco, Valeri ; Horváth, Roman (advisor) ; Mejstřík, Michal (referee)
The International Monetary Fund was created to promote financial stability, global monetary cooperation, high employment, international trade and sustainable economic growth. Together with the World Bank, IMF has a "monopoly" on offering loan programs for countries in deep crises or for development projects. In this thesis, we examine the effect of IMF, i.e. loan size and quotas, on the economic growth and inflation rate, by applying a dynamic panel regression on our dataset. In addition, we look at how the IMF Quotas influence the size of the loans. Our empirical results display significant evidence that IMF loans influence the GDP growth in a positive manner, in the medium term. Both Control of Corruption and Voice & Accountability have a negative influence on the economic growth. In other words, less corruption and stronger civil rights will halt the growth level of the economy. We also determined that IMF Quotas is not a robust indicator of the loan size. It is only driven by the past loan levels. Regarding Inflation determinants, IMF loans are not affecting the Inflation in a significant manner, while FDI and Control of Corruption - do. FDI exercises a positive influence on the CPI, while perception of less corruption has a negative effect on Inflation rate. JEL Classification D73, E31, F12,...
