Ukrainian Community in Prague and Central Bohemia after 1991
Trávníčková, Klára ; Kopeček Šustrová, Radka (advisor) ; Spurný, Matěj (referee)
The bachelor thesis focuses on the formation and organisation of community life, non-institutional activities, and identity of the Ukrainian minority in Prague and Central Bohemia from the 1990s (1991) to 2004. The start of the chosen time period is defined by the emergence of an independent Ukrainian state and the associated freedom to travel to other European countries for work due to the collapse of the Soviet Union. On its other end stands the Orange Revolution - the first major polarising political conflict of the Ukrainian Republic, which may also have impacted the community in the Czech Republic and its activities. The author aims to apply the methodology of transnational migration and diaspora studies to the selected source base (mainly from the production of associations of the Ukrainian national minority in the Czech Republic). The central part of the thesis entails a detailed analysis of two distinctive outputs of the compatriot associations - the magazine Porohy and the documentary film Easy Answer - and the labelling of its transnational and/or diasporic aspects. The thesis also provides insight into the journey taken by the Ukrainian national minority in the Czech Republic from the fall of state socialism to 2004.
