Dofková, Jekaterina ; Kyselka, Mojmír (referee) ; Urbášková, Hana (referee) ; Šlapeta, Vladimír (advisor)
The relationship between Czech and Russian avantgarde has not been properly examined, therefore the aim of this research was to understand the real facts and uncover “ the blind spots“ connected with the specific development of avantgarde architecture in Czechoslovakia and Soviet Union. A comprehensive and moreless thorough detailed reconstruction of the interwar period has been created with the help of comparative and historiographic analysis. This period used to be interpreted quite contrarily under the political pressure of the Soviet regime. The thesis analyses the influence of the political regime on architecture, determines the reflection of the events in the Soviet Union on the opinions of Czechoslovak architects by means of testimonies about mutual contacts, mutual criticism and cooperation in the sphere of architecture. The thesis brings and concludes new information regarding Czech architects who were designing and working in the Soviet Union. The research is based on archive documents, articles from specialized contemporary magazines and debates between Czech and Russian architects.

Have the Finnish-Russian relations been influenced by Finland's entry in the EU?
Pajskr, David ; Rolenc, Jan Martin (advisor) ; Eichler, Jan (referee)
Due to its complicated position between East and West Finland had to face a number of complicated situations in its history. After the gain of independence in 1917, Finland decided to commit to a policy of neutrality in order to avoid possible complications. After the Second World War, Finland was among vanquished nations. Finland used to be an ally of Germany, and also because of it and other things Finland was among vanquished nations. Finland was de facto forced to sign The Agreement of Friendship, Cooperation, and Mutual Assistance between The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and The Republic of Finland. Finland experienced a period called Finlandisation, when the USSR intervened mainly in Finnish foreign affairs policy which largely limited Finnish cooperation with the West. Finland tried to act as a "mediator" between East and West in this period. Entirely new situation occurred after the fall of the Soviet Union and the subsequent entry of Finland to the EU. Until 2004 Finland was the only EU country that had a common border with Russia. This work aims to determine whether the Finnish entry to the EU has changed the character of the Finnish-Russian relations due to the above mentioned facts.
