Otto Šling was a former interbrigadist in the civil war in Spain in the period from 1936 to 1939.

The inhuman brutal investigation of his person led to the prosecution of the second man in the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, Rudolf Slánský. However, this work is primarily focused on Šling's activities in the Brno branch of the Communist Party between 1945 and 1950 in connection with his...

Zemenčíková, Karolína ; Bednařík, Petr (advisor) ; Junová, Magdalena (referee)
The subject of the Bachelor thesis are the life fates of Otto Šling and his family. In the beginning the interpretation of Šling's life is centered on his motives to organise the propagandistic action "The Youth lead Brno". Following in the text there is mediated a reflection of pro communist campaign in selected Czechoslovakian media of that time. While in the observation period between May 1st, 1949 and June 2nd, 1949 the action was publicly supported, after Šling's arrest in October of the following year on the contrary it was condemned by the communist functionaries. Based on concrete medial announcements and accessible professional literature changes of the moods of the society are presented that took place in dependence on the fabrication of the political trials in the fifties of the last century. This fact is closely specified in the third part of the thesis which concerns itself with the role of Otto Šling in the Trial of anti-state conspiracy centered around Rudolf Slánský and his impact on the lives of Šling's closest relatives.
