Pelíšková, Eva ; Zilynskyj, Bohdan (advisor) ; Horák, Slavomír (referee)
This master's thesis examines the first decade of independent Ukraine in terms of language policy and political organization. It purports to show the impact that Ukraine's political independence had on the national and language situation in the first years of its existence. The first part of the thesis deals with the demographic, national and political state of affairs at the outset of the examined period, in 1989. The second part provides an analysis of the most important laws and other official documents that were supposed to influence further developments in the language policy. The third part deals with the actual evolution in individual spheres of life, namely education, media, bilingualism, administrative and territorial structure, and demographic changes. The conclusion answers two questions, firstly, "How does the reality differ from the plans in the official documents?", and secondly, "What changes can we notice in the language and territorial issue of Ukraine after the first decade of its independence?"

Šebesta, Adam ; Švec, Luboš (advisor) ; Litera, Bohuslav (referee)
The thesis "Nationality policy in Soviet Karelia, 1920-1935 " deals with the bolshevik experiment of governing a multinational empire on the example of eastern Karelia in the inter-war period. The paper examines the specific aspects of Karelia's development in contrast with the central nationality policies. Unique region with Finnish communist emigrants as leaders serves as an essence of understanding the nationality policies of the USSR. In search of a large-scale support of all the Russia's peoples the bolsheviks opted for a pragmatic policy of national concessions. The creation of autonomous Karelia was only possible because of a number of factors. Thanks to the policy of building national cadres, the Soviets were temporarily inclined towards regional administration.

Apart from the actual nationality policy in Karelia, the thesis also deals with the factors determining the level of independence such as economic policies and the dependence on center, language and education questions and challenges to...
