JUDr. Emil Hácha - The fatal moments
Hnyková, Jana ; Svoboda, Cyril (advisor) ; Salvet, Ondřej (referee)
1. Abstract The fateful moments put the duty of decision-making process to the players. They can not make no decision. Even an escape from the decision is an act. The player does not decide only on himself but his decision has a general impact. Historical experience can demonstrate the fact that history subsequently evaluates the actorś decision as if the actor had virtually preserved all the theoretical possibilities of decision-making process. The future judgement is influenced by external circumstances which can not be fully reflected in the time of the decision itself. The crucial theme of the thesis is to demonstrate an ethical dilemma on a particular example. It was Hacha's signature in Berlin, March 1939 that put the fate of our country into the hands of The Empire. The work will scrutinize on the basis of social and political ethics aspects president Hacha's possibilities of other solutions choice. A part of the work will be a general moral evaluation of Hácha's political activity and post- war responses to his acting.

Contribution to the Study of Military Non-organized Resistance Movement against Nazi/Fascist Tyranny (Occupied Power) during the WWII in the Big Screen
Blümel, Tomáš ; Kovář, Martin (advisor) ; Soukup, Jaromír (referee)
(in English) This thesis deals with the Non-organized Resistance Movement against Nazi/Fascist Occupied Power during the Second World War in the Historical Film. I analyze selected Films reflecting the Resistance Movement in eight Western European countries (Norway, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Italy and Spain), which were realized from the Second half of the 20th century to the present. In the main part, I show under what conditions the Film was created, and the different approaches of directors to this topic. For each Film I describe the story structure, the artistic quality or flaws, and the Interpretation of Historical Facts. Last but not least, I focuse on the question of what kind of response made the specific Film.

Czechoslovak-Yugoslav relations in 1939-1941: From the dissolution of Czechoslovakia to the occupation of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia
Sovilj, Milan ; Pelikán, Jan (advisor) ; Štěpánek, Václav (referee) ; Vojtěchovský, Ondřej (referee)
The present study deals with the very difficult Czechoslovak-Yugoslav relations immediately before and at the beginning of WWII. At that time, an independent Czechoslovakia no longer existed, and Yugoslavia was forced to balance between the interests of stronger countries, mainly Germany and Great Britain, in order to save their territory and ensure for its citizens a future without a war. Yugoslavia's reserved attitude towards the happenings in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, the establishment of rather formal than friendly and cordial Slovak-Yugoslav relations, the presence of Czechoslovak emigrants in Yugoslavia, the absence of any intervention by Yugoslav bodies against the activities of the members of Czech and Slovak minorities against the Protectorate, Slovakia, and Germany, and, finally, the negative Yugoslav attitude towards the state of Slovakia - this all constituted a complex and colourful world of Czechoslovak-Yugoslav relations in 1939-1941. An analysis of these relations was based primarily on an exhausting archival research as well as on a survey of relevant literature, memoirs, and the period press. This subject has not yet been studied in detail in the Czech Republic and abroad.
