Museums as Memory Places and "Ostalgy: Reflexions of Socialism in Czechoslovakia and in GDR
Dohnalová, Kristýna ; Zelená, Alena (advisor) ; Emler, David (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the image of socialism and everyday life in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and the German Democratic Republic in museums thematically focused on the past regime. The aim of the research, which was based on the method of content analysis of two museum exhibitions (the Museum of Communism in Prague and the DDR Museum in Berlin were analysed), was to compare what image of socialism and everyday life under the socialist dictatorship museums create and what differences can be found. Attention was directed to exhibitions devoted to everyday life, which were examined, among other things, in terms of the reflection of ostalgie within the museum exhibition. The resulting comparison showed a different view of the era in the GDR and the Czechoslovakia within museum exhibitions, and confirmed the hypothesis that in the German case the ostalgie phenomenon would be manifested more prominently. While in the Berlin museum the focus is mainly on the everyday life of the citizens, which is portrayed here in a positive light and which in some thematic modules evokes almost ostalgic echoes, in the Prague museum the past regime is perceived more as a time of repression, as evidenced by the critical stand of the authors of the exhibition towards the omnipresent propaganda, which is...

The Hyphen War in the Discussions of the Federal Assembly of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic
Kovařík, Pavel ; Michela, Miroslav (advisor) ; Činátl, Kamil (referee)
The thesis focuses on the first months following the Velvet Revolution. In this period, the Czechoslovak political system is somewhat taken by surprise by new political agenda which becomes as important as the reconstruction of the parliamentary liberal democracy itself. National and ethnic problems emerging since the beginnings of the common state reappeared unexpectedly in the form of the Hyphen War. Besides the institutional framework within which the whole dispute took place, I analyze certain communication problems that not only influenced the form of the negotiations discussing the state name but also indicated the shape of the last years of Czecho-Slovak coexistence within one federation. The main source for analysis of the problem outlined above is the material of Společná česko-slovenská digitální parlamentní knihovna; specifically, a selection of texts composed of parliamentary debates records and stenographic records. Key words: Czechoslovakia; the Hyphen War; political communication; Federal Assembly; transition period

Styková, Klaudia ; Pullmann, Michal (advisor) ; Michela, Miroslav (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the case of the hijacking of the MÁLEV Hungarian Airlines aeroplane. This took place at Prague Ruzyně Airport on March 29th 1989 where the aircraft Tupolev Tu-154 B2 on the scheduled flight MA640 from Budapest to Amsterdam had a stopover. This thesis further deals with the issue of unlawful acts against the safety of civil aviation and with Czechoslovak legislation relating to these unlawful acts. The thesis provides an overview of unlawful acts of civil aviation that occurred in Czechoslovakia between 1948 and 1991. The course of the hijacking, profiles of the hijackers, sequence of the investigation in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic as well as the sequence of investigation in the Federal Republic of Germany, where the plane landed and where the hijackers were arrested, investigated and ultimately judged is also analysed. The main objective of this thesis is to analyze the motivations of the hijackers. In conclusion, I attempt to clarify the causes of hijacking as well as I attempt to justify or disprove the current hypothesis that the main reason for the hijacking was not the socialist regime in Czechoslovakia. Key words: hijack, Prague Ruzyně Aiport, Frankfurt - Rhein-Main Air Base, the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, the Federal Republic of Germany, 1989
