Lustration laws in Ukraine: Between post-communism and post-authoritarianism
Srb, Jáchym ; Šír, Jan (advisor) ; Svoboda, Karel (referee)
The master thesis examines the phenomenon of lustration laws in Ukraine as a legal measure of transitional justice. It maps the history of unsuccessful attempts to adopt lustration laws from the independence in 1991 until the Euromaidan revolution in winter 2014. It then analyses the two lustration laws adopted in 2014 and their implementation between years 2014 and 2017. Finally it analyses the legal review that the laws have faced or are likely to face in the future. It comes to a conclusion that Ukrainian laws were not adopted after the independence in 1991 because of structural reasons and after the Orange Revolution in 2004 due to a lack of political will. In the second part, the thesis concludes that Ukrainian lustration laws adopted after Euromaidan were some of the most extensive ones in the region of post-communist Europe. Nevertheless, their implementation fell short of meeting most of their goals. In the third part, the thesis concludes that the laws might be spared constitutional review, but they are likely to face a negative scrutiny before the European Court of Human Rights.
State in the process of coming to terms with the communist past - comparison of the Czech and Slovak Republics' approach to the creation of a legislative and institutional basis
Bernášková Chňupová, Soňa ; Kocian, Jiří (advisor) ; Šafařík, Petr (referee)
The Bachelor thesis is concerned with the issue of coming to terms with the communist past in Czechoslovakia after 1989, subsequently in the Czech Republic and Slovak Republic, focusing on the politics of history and the politics of memory. In the introduction to the problem, the thesis defines the key terms and concerns both different attitudes to dealing with a previous non-democratic regime in the countries of former Soviet bloc, and main factors influencing the different types of approaches to transitional justice. Being focused on a set of policy measures adopted by authorities, the thesis also examines how the rhetorical dimension, judicial dimension and the issue of lustration have been handled in post- communist Czechoslovakia and its successor states. The last chapter draws a comparison between the Czech and Slovak politics of memory, while focusing on the foundation of the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes and the Nation's Memory Institute.
