Group Radicalization in the context of Hybrid Warfare: 'Russian World' as an ideological framework for anti-Western Radicalization
Lysenko, Mykola ; Laryš, Martin (advisor) ; Ananyeva, Ekaterina (referee)
The thesis attempts at investigating a state-driven radicalization process as it is incited by an ideological system and utilized in the context of hybrid warfare. Contemporary Russia is taken as a concrete case study, with the research questions focused on: i) presenting the Russian World as an ideological system consistent of varying individual claims and tenets; ii) analysing the radicalization potential of said claims and tenets; and iii) tracing the process of radicalization by presenting a plausible causal mechanism based on the respective concepts and theories employed. The findings indicate a certain evolution of the Russian World ideology, while the practice of hybrid warfare is argued to serve the ideology as its actualizing component if the context is considered. Conclusively, it is also identified that the claims and tenets of Russian World are challenged ever more often, raising concerns with regards to the ideology's sustainable future, and in turn, the likelihood of social and political turbulence in Russia itself or a repetition of a radicalization instance comparable in its scale to that of Crimean Annexation in 2014.

Internal divisions and problems of Ukrainian Orthodoxy in relation to the events of Euromaidan
Jungwirthová, Sára ; Zilynskyj, Bohdan (advisor) ; Kolenovská, Daniela (referee)
This thesis focuses on the reaction of the three main Ukrainian Orthodox Churches (Ukrainian Orthodox Church - Moscow Patriarchate, Ukrainian Orthodox Church - Kyivan Patriarchate and Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church) to the revolutionary events in the country that began at the end of the year 2013. I try to explain the role of churches in this social turmoil while following their changing attitudes and political influence. Their complex inner relations will also be part of this study. Besides that I analyse the way the concept of Russian world is implemented in Russia's foreign policy regarding Ukraine and how this creates inner tensions in the UOC-MP. I also mention the rise of religiously motivated violence which is a direct consequence of the Russian aggression towards Ukrainian territorial integrity. Due to the topicality of the subject, I relied not only on classical sources, but also on many professional religious studies magazines covering the events of Maidan.
