Sojková, Alena ; Kuklík, Jan (advisor) ; Skřejpková, Petra (referee)
When KSČ gained power in ČSR, one of the steps it had to initialize in order to seize control over the Czechoslovak public was re-education and alternation of its intelligence. In order to do so, it was necessary to fully reorganize the system of universities. The arrangements that were being performed in the name of this principle strongly influenced also the Faculty of Law, Charles University, which was before February, 1948, considered the most reactive and the most conservative faculty of this university. The first part of this paper will consider the personal changes at universities, with a special emphasis on the Faculty of Law, Charles University. The first of the "cleansing processes" was the examination of the national reliabilities, the foreground of what proceeded after February, 1948. The politically motivated elimination of students, initiated by the National Committee and the so-called "study inspections" of the years 1948-49 and the exclusion of the university professors after February, 1948 onwards, soon followed. This cleansing enabled the party to appoint such members of KSČ who did not resist further measures. The second part of the paper discusses the organizational changes of the faculty and of the whole educational system on the base of the new law treating the universities,...

This diploma thesis covers the individual citizens' perception of suburban events in order to discuss the point of view of the early modern Czech citizen and their ability to gain information of the world around through the analysis of such suburban events that were registered in the chosen chronicles, originating between the years 1575-1600, a period that is considered "a golden age of the Czech cities". First, the background of the chroniclers is outlined, because it might have influenced the choice of events they decided to include in their works, i.e. the position of the concrete city, the level of education in the said period or the author's personal life. Second, the general knowledge of the authors is described in the thesis through the means of analysis of the type of recorded information (e.g. Turkish wars, the deaths of famous persons, wildfires, councils and the like). In other words, the thesis is to point out what type of information was considered to be the most interesting or extraordinary to the wider public, and which circles were usually covered by the chroniclers. Therefore, the reader is to discover the world of thought of the early modern citizen, which has been restricted to us because of the lack of other than administrative materials, and the impulses that influenced and...

Sojková, Alena ; Čechura, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Bacík, Radek (referee)
This text deals with process of confiscations after battle of Bílá hora with the aim at sanctions on cities and their city-dwellers and focuses above all on Prague cities, concretely on Old Town of Prague. In the text, there is outlined the general course of the events after lost battle, which finally result in sanctions of property. The text focused on a work of two commissions, enforcement (executionary) commission and confiscatory commission, whose interference with property structure was probably the strongest; partly it covers also executions after an exit of persons from country for reasons of religion, thus after publication od Obnovené zřízení zemské (may translated as Redefined municipal constitution). In a question of enforcement commission the text concentrates rather on financial incidence than scaffolds itself, which are mentioned only marginally (number of executions, which city-dwellers were executed atc.). Every type of sanction (execution, release from prison, penalty etc.) is then illustrated on cases of city-dwellers of Old Town in Prague, that were participants of this processes. In every type one or two cases are chosen, which are analysed in more details, careers of others punished like that (or finally unpunished) are noticed only with relation to amount and enumeration of...
