Personality Cult in Turkmenistan 1991-2006
Purkertová, Eliška ; Šír, Jan (advisor) ; Horák, Slavomír (referee)
This case study discusses the role of Turkmen president Saparmurat Turkmenbashi's personality cult as a part of Turkmen totalitarian ideology. The work's scope is restricted by a time period beginning with the country's declaration of independence in 1991 and ending by president's death in 2006. The work analyses the manner the personality cult served the president to keep his power. It builds upon a thesis that personality cult is a defining feature of Turkmen totalitarianism. Using empirical analysis, the author attempts to analyze the effects of the personality cult on the society and daily life in Turkmenistan and tries to clarify the mechanisms of political power and the position of the personality cult within the regime. The cult marks many aspects of daily life in Turkmenistan - politics, society, architecture, culture, media and even the schooling system and history interpretation.

Tylová, Kateřina ; Šístek, František (advisor) ; Žíla, Ondřej (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the specific development of post-war Yugoslavia, especially about self-governing socialism which can be considered as finding the new way of socialism. This issue is closely related with historical context of post-war development. Thanks to the conflict with Soviet Union the need of settling new political system could be the way of better fitting socialism. The status of Yugoslavia was considerably more complicating due to exclusion of the Soviet sphere, however, it was a new opportunity. The aim of the thesis is to clarify how the self-governing system worked and why it was introduced. For a comprehensive view of self-government, different views on this system have been added. The first chapter deals with the historical context in Yugoslavia and the theory of the self-governing system. The second chapter deals with different views of self-governing socialism. This chapter is subdivided into other subchapters, divided by time - between the regime's theorists and historians (experts who evaluate the system with time and with the fact that it is not directly incorporated into it). The chapter with the view of historians is further divided into period historians (written in the time of the functioning of the self-governing system) and contemporary (opinions that are...

Cult of personality and children's reader. The image of communist functionaries in magazines for children from 1948 to 1955
Hlaváčková, Alexandra ; Šedivá Koldinská, Marie (advisor) ; Michela, Miroslav (referee)
(in English): This bachelor's thesis is focused on the manifestations of the cult of communist functionaries in Czechoslovakia between years 1948 and 1955, specifically on the cult of personality in children's magazines (Jiskry, Vlaštovička, Mateřídouška, Ohníček, Pionýr, Pionýrské noviny, Práce pionýrů). The thesis is namely about Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, Klement Gottwald, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, Antonín Zápotocký and Zdeněk Nejedlý. The author used discourse analysis as a method. The research deals with the image of these individuals, with the facts of their lives that are presented as significant. The analysis points out attributes ascribed to these historical figures; there is sameness, but on the other hand there are also distinctions in the way of representing these politicians.
