Leshkova, Olga ; Příhoda, Marek (advisor) ; Čermák, Václav (referee)
The objective of the master's thesis is to analyze the image of foreigners in Moscovian texts written during the Time of Troubles and soon after it in early 17th century. The thesis will also focus on the perception of foreign influence on political and cultural development of Russian state and society. Due to the fact that the perception of foreigners in Muscovite Russia can be regarded in many aspects as a result of traditional religious and historical thinking concepts which had been widespread in the country by the end of the 16th century, we will pay particular attention to the formation of medieval Moscovian thinking. By means of discourse and comparative analysis we will try to fulfil the following goals: 1) to study the religious and historical thinking formation process in medieval Russia up to the beginning of the 17th century; 2) to analyze various specific features of Moscovian texts from early 17th century in terms of foreigners' perception; 3) to put the issue of foreigners' perception into a wider cultural and historical context, especially with regard to appropriate literature and thinking tradition. This study is based on Moscovian texts of different nature, which reflect the Time of Troubles. We also use a wide range of appropriate secondary literature. Key Words: Time of...

Image of Boris Godunov and His Reign in Historical Narrations on Time of Troubles in 1st Half of 17th Century
Steinbergerová, Petra ; Příhoda, Marek (advisor) ; Leshkova, Olga (referee)
The main topic of the thesis is an investigation of the image of Boris Godunov and his reign in sources of selected Russian historical narrations on the Time of Troubles of the first half of the 17th century. The thesis pays attention to the historical sources and describes selected literary texts and their authors. It also uses relevant secondary literature to briefly describe the period of the turn of the 16th and the 17th centuries. This period, also known as the Time of Troubles, became a phenomenon, which remarkably went down in history and became a topic not only for contemporaries, but also for the next generation of scientists. Based on given literary texts the work afterwards describes the characteristics of Boris Godunov and defines particular turning points of his activity at the court and of his own reign, which we can encounter in historical narrations. Key words Boris Godunov, Time of Troubles, Pretenders, Ivan IV Vasilyevich, Fyodor I Ivanovich, Russia, Ivan Timofeyev, Avraamy Palitsyn
