Fighter against fascism as socialist hero. Two lives of Ján Nálepka
Bjaček, Petr ; Randák, Jan (advisor) ; Michela, Miroslav (referee)
After the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1939 the Slovak part of the republic under the German patronage declared an independent Slovak state. From geopolitical reasons the Slovak regime as an ally of Nazi Germany was actively involved in many military adventures including the participation in the campaign against the USSR. The fact of Slovak participation in the German campaign against the USSR has become one of the worst acts of Slovak Clerico-Fascist government for the constituting communist regime in the renewed Czechoslovakia. The unpleasant history has been covered by an appropriate historical interpretation and a search for the new socialist traditions. Captain Ján Nálepka has become one of the solid symbols of this effort. Left-wing intellectual, teacher and reserve officer of the Czechoslovak army was called to the Slovak army after the formation of the Slovak state. He received the Medal of Bravery for the fights against Hungary and Poland and he even participated in the campaign in the USSR. In 1943 he defected to the side of Soviet partisans and he fell at the end of the same year in the fight for the city Ovruch as a leader of Czechoslovak partisan section. For his work with Soviet partisans he posthumously received the title Hero of the USSR. In the thesis I investigate the concept...

Munich days and their reflection in broadcasting
Šubrová, Klára ; Michela, Miroslav (advisor) ; Randák, Jan (referee)
The year 1938 was filled with a number of dramatic events, which culminated with the signing of the Munich Agreement in Autumn. The agreement, which was signed in the absence of the representatives of Czecho-Slovakia, was one of the first pieces in the mosaic of Hitler's strategic steps, which eventually led to a global conflict- World War II. Broadcasting was of the utmost importance in the anxiety and chaos of 1938. Right from its birth, broadcasting played an important part in the development of culture and education (including public education). After the signing of the agreement, appeals to citizens replaced educational programmes. The broadcasts were historical, cultural and patriotic in their themes and they also promoted patriotic endeavors. The year 1938 saw very important broadcasts delivered by important Czecho- Slovakian personages, which gave the listeners the chance to participate in the social and political events of the day. I subjected all of the speeches to analysis and so was able to establish their characteristic features. Broadcasting became one of the most influential media of the time, directly communicating important up-to-date information.

The transformation of historical narratives during the social and political turning point of 1988-1990
Socha, Jan ; Randák, Jan (advisor) ; Michela, Miroslav (referee)
This thesis describes the role of national history and its "official" interpretations as a tool to legitimize different political systems in Czechoslovakia at the turning point of 1988- 1990. The interpretation of history changes according to the social and political interests of the period when history is written. The historical narrative thus becomes important in reinforcing the symbolical legitimacy of the present political power. A specialized form of historical narrative is embodied in the national holidays' law. The paper compares the changes in the holidays included in the holidays' law between the communist era and after November 1989. For each change the thesis describes the arguments given in the legislative discussions. The legislative discussions analyzed present the arguments given for implementing and removing the days included in the national holidays' law. The media explanations reviewed originate from descriptions given in regime-supporting newspapers. The thesis demonstrates how the legitimacy of the present political system was strengthened by the changes in the national holidays' law and the public historical narrative chosen to introduce them.
