Hájková, Adéla ; Čechurová, Jana (advisor) ; Stehlík, Michal (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the "Kulak" action, which was carried out by the State Security in Czechoslovakia in 1951-1953 as part of the collectivization of agriculture. Using micro- history, it focuses on the region of Vysoké Mýto and the fate of the local farmers, who were forcibly evicted with their entire families and their property was confiscated. The first chapters of the work look at the whole issue of displacement on a general scale. They consider the overall situation of the Czechoslovak People's Democratic Republic, its process of collectivization, the creation of the United Agricultural Cooperatives, and the state of the laws at the time that enabled these processes. After presenting the context and general information, the chapters focus on their specific impact, using the example of the municipality of Stradouň. Five so-called family units were evicted from this village, i.e., the farmer and all those who shared a household with him. All five family units were taken on the same day 18 April 1952, to the district of Roudnice nad Labem. The work is based on archive materials and specialist literature. Keywords: Collectivization - kulak - district Vysoke Myto - United Agricultural Cooperative - people's courts

"The interim period in the episcopal service of Štěpán Trochta in the years 1950-1968: l'm coming back to you".
Koubová, Veronika ; Čechurová, Jana (advisor) ; Stehlík, Michal (referee)
(anglicky) This thesis elaborates on the work of Bishop, and later Cardinal, Štěpán Trochta in the years 1950-1968. It sheds more light on his pro-regime actions in the early 1950s and at the same time on his anti-state activities that he "committed" in parallel, and for which he was eventually sentenced to 25 years in prison. Following that, the research is focused on the period which Trochta spent in communist prisons, and the efforts of the state power to force him into collaboration with the regime. The next part of this work analyses the period of his freedom, during which he was at first a manual worker in Prague and later a pensioner in charity homes in Tábor and Radvanov. The research ends with his return to the diocese in 1968. The aim of this thesis is to realistically depict the Bishop's personality and his actions. In this respect, it strives to correct the hagiographically based works of Catholic biographers who have so far rather avoided this period (especially the 1960s). Furthermore, this thesis aims to provide a more detailed treatment of the events in the Bishop's life that have not as yet enjoyed much attention in Czech historiography.

Heráňová, Anna ; Randák, Jan (advisor) ; Stehlík, Michal (referee)
1 ABSTRACT The bachelor's thesis deals with the "action castles" 1945-1947 organized by the educator and humanist Přemysl Pitter. It seeks to conceptualize it not as an isolated event, but to place it in the broader context of a position of a child in post-war Czechoslovakia. It examines its ideological origins and institutional arrangements, the process of admitting children to the castles, the rules of everyday life and the subsequent possibilities for children after their recovery. It also takes into account the national aspect, especially the specifics that concerned the German children. In addition to the naturally important role of the protagonists of the event, it also focuses on the extent of the influence of the state and the contemporary approach to health and hygiene. KEYWORDS "action castles", Přemysl Pitter, social care, childcare, sanatorium, healthcare, Czech-German relations, Czechoslovakia 1945-1947

Skalová, Irena ; Rychlík, Jan (advisor) ; Stehlík, Michal (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the influence of the Czech Social Democratic Party in opposition on the minority coalition government led by Václav Klaus in the years 1996-1998. The support from this party was crucial for the government and it was supposed to manifest itself during the vote of confidence but also the vote on government proposals. The aim of this thesis is to find out how the influence manifested itself, but also how it shaped itself during the election period, as there were changes in the parliamentary groups, which changed the ratio of votes between the coalition and the opposition. The thesis also presents the role of Miloš Zeman, which was also very important during this election period. Moreover, the thesis also focuses on government proposals, which were successfully enforced thanks to the votes of the Czech Social Democratic Party, but also tries to find out whether the party's electoral programme promises were carried out or not, which will be pointed out on several examples. Last but not least, the thesis deals with the overall political situation during this time period, which was accompanied by disagreements in the coalition but also by scandals that eventually led to the resignation of the government and the emergence of a semi-official government led by the Czech...

The beginnings of the male branch of Opus Dei in the Czech republic
Sterzik, Josef ; Michela, Miroslav (advisor) ; Stehlík, Michal (referee)
The bachelor thesis is about Opus Dei, the only personal prelature in the Catholic Church. However, the thesis focuses mainly on the origins of the male branch in the Czech Republic. The thesis is based on the analysis of historical works and for the last chapter the method of oral history is used. My oral history research focuses on the narratives of the three founding members of the Prelature in the Czech Republic. The whole thesis can be divided into three parts. In the first part, the life of the founder and the related history of the organization and its structure are written, based on secondary literature of Czech, German and English provenance. I draw here mainly on the three-volume biography of Josemaría by the Spanish historian Vazquez. I deal with the person of the founder quite thoroughly in my work, as his person is very central to understanding Opus Dei. Members often refer to him and various feasts are celebrated throughout the year relating to important events in his life. I also describe the legal development and organizational structure of Opus Dei. The second part of the thesis concerns the situation of the Catholic Church between 1945-1989. Here I try to clarify the somewhat specific background of the situation of the Church in Czechoslovakia before the arrival of Opus Dei. The...
