Chaban, Polina ; Mlejnek, Josef (advisor) ; Romancov, Michael (referee)
This diploma thesis focuses on the analysis of the perception of the figure of Bohdan Chmelnyckyj in selected works of art. The research focuses on Russian (Soviet), Polish and Ukrainian works of art. We will discuss such Russian (Soviet) cultural monuments as the Bohdan Chmelnyckyj Monument and the Peoples' Friendship Arch in Kyiv, the film "Bohdan Chmelnyckyj", the Polish film "With Fire and Sword", the Ukrainian film "Bohdan - Zynovij Chmelnyckyj", Lina Kostenko's verse novel "Berestechko" and the series of documentary films "Secrets of Great Ukrainians". The analysis of various works of art will help to define the Russian, Soviet, Polish and Ukrainian view of Bohdan Chmelnyckyj and his activities and to identify similarities and differences in the interpretation of the figure of Bohdan Chmelnyckyj. Attention will also be paid to how works of art influence Ukrainian historical consciousness. The theoretical basis will be the concept of historical memory. In addition, Benedict Anderson's theory of the "Imagined Community" will be analysed. Keywords Bohdan Chmelnyckyj, historical memory, Ukrainian historical consciousness
