French Communists and Poland in 1956
Kůželová, Michaela ; Vykoukal, Jiří (advisor) ; Perottino, Michel (referee)
The thesis -French Communists and Poland in 1956‖ deals with the relations between the Central European Polish United Workers' Party (PZPR) or Poland and the West European French Communist Party (PCF) in the crisis year of 1956. Whereas the PZPR was a governing party in an Eastern block people's democracy, the PCF was in opposition, strong and influential, though, in a Western country. Analysing their mutual relations in 1956 is not only interesting from the point of view of East-West connections, but chiefly of the different approaches to Khrushchev's policy of destalinisation. Despite party factions vis-{-vis destalinisation, the main difference laid in both parties' leaderships. Whereas the PCF was more or less under the Stalinist Maurice Thorez's control, which prevented Khrushchev's French supporters from influencing their party's politics, in case of the PZPR, the death of Bolesław Bierut in March 1956 made room for larger variety of opinions within the party. That is why the PCF can be labelled as -more Stalinist‖ than the PZPR in 1956. This thesis describes not only the situation of both parties in 1956. It also analyses the images that the parties made about each other and the ways in which these images were spread and how they influenced the relations between them. Keywords French...

The Communist Party and Colonial Question in Inter-war France
Chlebounová, Tereza ; Matějka, Ondřej (advisor) ; Perottino, Michel (referee)
The thesis deals with the attitude of the French Communist Party (PCF) to the colonial issue in the era of inter-war France. It tries to map the development of this attitude and factors which influenced it. It also aims to make a periodization of the development and determine landmarks which divided its stages. The French Communist Party was the only political party in inter-war France which contested the right of the powers to own colonies and it called for their immediate independence. The thesis analyses whether this opinion stemmed from the inner conviction, whether the Party really advocated it throughout the whole period of interest and whether it actively promoted it in practise or it was rather just a rhetoric. The thesis is divided chronologically into three chapters delimited by events which were crucial for the shape of PCF's colonial policy. The first chapter begins with the foundation of the Party in 1920 and it studies the way communist colonial policy was formed. The second part deals with period 1924-1935 when the Party increased its activity due to the colonial conflict in Morocco. The third chapter aims to describe the evolution of the attitude of the PFC towards the colonies while the international tension was rising. It starts in 1935 when the Popular Front was created in France...
