Sixta, Václav ; Štaif, Jiří (advisor) ; Lomíček, Jan (referee)
This thesis deals with an analysis of symbolic representation of Czechoslovak historiography to year 1934. Its source is primary the Culture Directory from the year 1934, respectively the kvantification of its informations. This informations or profiles are analyzed through categories of position in hieararchy in historography, nationality, lokalization and specialization. According this categories we can see many different ways of creating symbolic representation in our set of historians. The phenomene of change in time and trends we can see by using category of generation, defined objectively every ten years according the date of birth. Thanks variability of categories we can see the plurality of ways of creating symbolic representation. For exact analysis of symbolic representation we use a concept of "field of representations" where the representations make a really exactly defined units. Their complicated struktures create a symbolic representation of whole czechoslovac historiography. By using a kvantification we can see the facts, which are by other method unachievable.

Outer factors influencing image creation of the USSR in Czechoslovakia between World Wars
Lomíček, Jan ; Jančík, Drahomír (referee) ; Štaif, Jiří (advisor)
There were several outer aspects influencing the image of Soviet Russia in Czechoslovakia between World Wars. On the one hand it was Soviet propaganda using all possible means at that time to create abroad a positive image of SSSR. On the other hand, there were various control mechanisms and institutions monitoring foreigners in the Soviet territory. It was VOKS (The All- Union Society for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries ) and the Soviet state travel agency Intourist, to name the most significant of them. The amount of places the visitors were able to visit was limited, just as the available information and that is why the reality shown in their literary works was distorted. 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 leftwing intelectuals considered the dictatorship of the proletariat to be a political vanguard. They sticked to these beliefs because they did not have any opportunity to discover the real consequences of Bolshevik government on the people in the Soviet Union.

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.
