Pavlíček, Denis ; Klípa, Ondřej (advisor) ; Korablyova, Valeriya (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the relationship of Poles to Ukrainian nationalism between 2014 and 2022. This issue is examined through selected Polish print media (Rzeczpospolita, Gazeta Wyborcza, Do Rzeczy and Polityka). The aim of this bachelor thesis is to identify the main differences in the approaches of right-wing and left-wing media to topics related to Ukrainian nationalism during the observed period. Firstly, the issue of Polish-Ukrainian relations is introduced with an emphasis on mutual disputes over the interpretation of history. Then follows the justification of the selection of chosen titles, while their ideological differences are mentioned. After evaluating the previous approaches to media analysis, the selected research methods are presented. In order to answer the research questions and assess the validity of the hypotheses, a qualitative content analysis, an inductive content analysis, and a frequency analysis of the articles found using keywords related to Ukrainian nationalism are conducted. After a commentary of the results of each analysis, the periodicals are then compared with each other. Lastly, a discussion of all results is conducted, the research questions answered and the validity of the hypotheses assessed.

The Dilemma of the Ukrainian Nation-building: the Creation of New National Myths
Shenshyn, Oleg ; Zilynskyj, Bohdan (advisor) ; Vykoukal, Jiří (referee)
Ukrainian state lacks an effective historical memory policy. For this reason, the Ukrainian nation- building project lacks ideological capabilities to consolidate Ukrainian society. The dilemma regarding the national myths is the main challenge of the Ukrainian nation-building project. The dilemma emerged in choosing between the myth of the national liberation struggle of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) and the myth of the Great Patriotic War. Both myths are struggling for an important place in the pantheon of Ukrainian history, but fisrt of all for a recognition of Ukrainian society. This resulted in the creation of conflicting historical identities. Ukrainian elite have long time speculated on the differences in the historical identity, which largely contributed to social fragmentation. This thesis describes how national myths interact with nation-building project and also analyzes the content of the most crucial interpretations of the historical myths.

Ukrainian Nationalism in Programmes of Main Political Parties in Ukraine from Orange Revolution until Present
Rychterová, Ludmila ; Příhoda, Marek (advisor) ; Chlaňová, Tereza (referee)
The paper focuses on searching for nationalist ideology in programmes of the ma- in political parties in Ukraine from the Orange Revolution to 2012. Despite the phra- se "until present" in the title of the paper, the author chose not to reflect on the cur- rent complicated situation in Ukraine, and she focuses on the developmentally coherent period of 2004-2012. In that period, the main political parties had already undergone a certain development and they usually had a firm ideological basis in their pro- grammes. The main seven Ukrainian political parties characterised in this paper are: The Freedom, The Fatherland, Our Ukraine, The Party of Regions, The UDAR, The Communist Party of Ukraine and The ront for Change. The definition of the concept of nationalism and specifics in Ukraine are emphasized in this paper, which helps to further develop the typology of nationalism that is present in some of the program- mes of the main political parties in Ukraine. The most specific form of nationalism is found in The Svoboda, therefore the author reserved more space for it in this paper.
