Media image of the death of Mikhail Gorbachev and Elizabeth II. in the Czech press
Beranová, Monika ; Štoll, Martin (advisor) ; Růžička, Daniel (referee)
This master's thesis focuses on analyzing the media image of two significant political and cultural figures, Mikhail Gorbachev and Queen Elizabeth II. Both figures passed away shortly after each other in 2023. The text describes in detail the lives and political careers of both figures, their impact on the world, and the current perception of their characters. Mikhail Gorbachev is often referred to as the greatest politician of the 20th century. He served as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1985 to 1991 and was also its sole President from 1990 to 1991. He advocated for economic and political changes that led to the democratization of the Soviet Union. In 1990, he even received the Nobel Peace Prize. The figure of Mikhail Gorbachev is still perceived very differently by Russians, the global public, politicians, and the academic community. Gorbachev himself was never fully identified as the architect of the collapse of the Soviet Union. Queen Elizabeth II reigned as the Queen of fifteen independent states known as the Commonwealth realm from 1952 to 2022. During her reign, there were several significant milestones that influenced the perception of the Queen and the entire British royal family. As an example, her ascension to the throne and coronation in 1953 was...

Changes in the tax mix in EU Member States
BERANOVÁ, Monika
Diploma thesis deals with the tax mix development in member states of the European Union. One of the EU goals is to harmonize tax system of individual member states to ensure better functioning of united market inside the European Union. Due to this reason changes in tax mixes of member states happen. The main aim of this thesis is to ascertain changes on the share of revenues of individual taxes on total tax revenue during the given time period in member states of the EU, to identify groups of similar states and try to explain the results using chosen economical indicators. A cluster analysis was used to analyse the development of Member states' tax mixes in 1995, 2002 and 2015. The cluster analysis resulted in a definition of groups of states where the composition of the tax mix is most similar. Using the variation coefficient, a change in the share of selected taxes in total tax revenue between 1995, 2002 and 2015 was subsequently described. Source data were taken from the Eurostat database. Analysis of variation coefficients did not confirm the convergence of tax mix across the European Union. Only after the breakdown of the Member States into the original 15 Member States and those that have joined the EU since 2004 convergence has emerged. But these trends are not so marked.

The critical reception of the novel Sekyra in contemporary cultural periodicals
Beranová, Monika ; Batistová, Anna (advisor) ; Köpplová, Barbara (referee)
The bachelor thesis is focused on contemporary literary critique of the work of Sekyra from 1966. The author of the novel, Ludvík Vaculík was in the 1960s in the center of attention due to his journalistic activity, which was in conflict with the regime. Vaculík's attitude to the regime and to the Czechoslovak Communist Party evolved during his lifetime and influenced his literary and journalistic work. The analysis is complemented by an overview of his personal life, which determined the direction of his work. The essence of the work is the evaluation of contemporary literary reviews of the work, which appeared in various periodicals. The periodical analysis supplements the historical context of the political events in the 1960s, since the events of the era are crucial for the periodical reception of the novel.

Anti-Zionism and Anti-Semitism in Postwar Czechoslovakia, 1945-1953
Beranová, Monika ; Kubátová, Hana (advisor) ; Kučera, Jan (referee)
This work deals with the evolution of the topics of Anti-Semitism and Anti-Zionism in Czechoslovakia between the years 1945-1953. It is divided into three parts. The first part deals with the definition of the concepts of Zionism, Anti-Zionism and Anti-Semitism, thus comprising the theoretical framework of the thesis. The second part analyzes the political historical developments in the era of 1945-1953, during which the Communist Party seizes power. Described here is also the importance of the establishment of the State of Israel in the context of the development of Soviet-Israeli relations and Czechoslovak-Israeli relations. These relations later developed the attitudes towards the Jewish communities. In the third part, the work deals with the stance of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia towards Jews. It views the stance as an overlapping combination of Anti-Semite and Anti-Zionist positions, which culminates in the political trials of the 1950s. It also shows an interesting contrast whereas during that same time, the Communists allowed the grand re-opening of the Pinkas Synagogue Memorial, honoring the victims of the Holocaust. The interplay between the Communists and Jews was neither wholly positive, nor entirely negative; both sides of the stance can be demonstrated. They are influenced by...

"Special Relationship" in the Era of Harold Macmillan (1957-1963)
Beranová, Monika ; Soukup, Jaromír (advisor) ; Jeřábek, Martin (referee)
This thesis analyzes key moments from the tenures of Harold Macmillan as British Prime Minister and John Fitzgerald Kennedy as President of the United States. The United Kingdom and the United States had a Special Relationship between them, which was based upon their close political cooperation. Macmillan and Kennedy deepend this relation by their personal friendship, which played a major role in the course of finding solutions to the conflicts they had to face in the context of the Cold War, when there was a real possibility of nuclear annihilation. The analysis shows that the Special Relationship in the years 1957-1963 went through several dynamic developments, however it never lost its unique status. Despite initial distrust between the two countries immediately following the Suez Crisis, both politicians always managed to find a compromise solution. Thanks to their friendship and deep personal respect, they managed to always unite, even during times of gravest peril. A typical example of the personal relationship is the Cuban Missile Crisis, when Kennedy kept in touch via telephone with Macmillan and often asked him for advice. By virtue of this contact, Macmillan became one of the President's principal advisors in the course of the crisis. The Special Relationship between the two countries did...
