Transnational repression? The Russian Federation and Russians Abroad in 2014-2021
Skoupá, Veronika ; Kolenovská, Daniela (advisor) ; Svoboda, Karel (referee)
Research on state-led repression usually focuses on domestic politics. However, the ability of contemporary authoritarian regimes to influence the quality of life of their citizens rarely stops at the state border. Repressive regimes today are increasingly able to target their domestic opponents outside their own territory. Recently, therefore, scholars have increasingly interpreted the interaction of authoritarian states with their critically minded citizens in a transnational context. According to them, the focus of an authoritarian regime's control over a society remains internal, but the increasing number of cases of physical attacks, intimidation or silencing of opinionated competitors even after they have decided to go abroad has led scholars to think about transnational repression and transnational authoritarianism. This thesis examines the validity of their conclusions using the case of the Russian state's relationship with its critical citizens between 2014 and 2021, based on theories of transnationalism and totalitarianism. Early scholarly studies have shown that Russia punishes its citizens abroad through several different methods. This thesis focuses on recorded cases of physical violence, restrictions on movement and forced displacement, threats, surveillance, and information...

The Party of Regions as an instrument of Russian soft power
Shkurat, Ivan ; Mlejnek, Josef (advisor) ; Kubátová, Hana (referee)
The bachelor thesis focuses on the analysis of the pro-Russian Party of Regions in the context of Russian soft power and the promotion of Russian interests in Ukraine. The bachelor thesis is dedicated to demonstrating Russia's influence on the Party of Regions and the party's efforts to represent a pro-Russian position. The theoretical part of the thesis is based on the theory of soft power of the American political scientist J. Nye. Last but not least, the thesis will examine the Party of Regions' position on selected issues where Russian interest was present, especially on issues related to the expansion of the status of the Russian language and support for an oriented Russian Orthodoxy. In the context of the support for the Russian narrative, I will approach the Party of Regions' governance in the period 2010-2014. The practical part of the paper discusses the party's position on the issues outlined. The paper uses a qualitative approach, in particular content analysis of data. The thesis attempts to determine whether the functioning of the Party of Regions as an instrument of Russian soft power can be identified and how the Party of Regions as an instrument of soft power functioned.

Důsledky rusko-ukrajinské krize pro energetickou bezpečnost Evropské unie
Hrdlička, Vít
The thesis examines the energy security of the European Union in the context of the 2014 Russia-Ukraine crisis, which escalated in February 2022 with the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The thesis analyses, in the form of a case study, the impact of this invasion on the EU's energy security, as the Russian Federation supplies significant amounts of fossil fuels to the EU countries. As a result of the invasion, the share of natural gas and oil supplies from Russia to the EU has decreased and the prices of these raw materials have increased. In this context, the EU has started to look at new suppliers from the Middle East and has strengthened cooperation with existing suppliers such as Norway and the United States. In addition, the EU has issued energy-related sanctions packages and introduced the REPowerEU plan, which has led to a strengthening of the EU's energy security and a reduction in dependence on fossil fuel imports from Russia.
