History of the National Theatre Ballet in the years 1930-1951
Routková, Kateřina ; Bendová, Eva (referee)
The rigorous thesis deals with the influence of the 20th century political events on the National Theatre Ballet. The researched period is set out by the years 1930-1951. The work follows the pre-war situation of the two ballet leaders Jelizaveta Nikolská and Josef Joe Jenčík, the rise and fall of German nationalism, the dance-related career of Emanuel Famíra, post-war Czechoslovakia, the rise of communism, the dark fifties and the work of Saša Machov. The research of ballet specifics is dealt with in the circumstances of the time. The character of the time is further illustrated by the destinies of the group's leaders (or its soloists), the selected repertoire and the reviews that evaluated the individual works. It is therefore not a chronological listing of the activities of the National Theatre's ballet troupe, but an analysis of the influence of the contemporary political situation and an attempt to place this often neglected component of the National Theatre in a historical context.

The death of Jan Masaryk in the periodical press
Šatná, Barbora ; Bednařík, Petr (advisor) ; Osvaldová, Barbora (referee)
The bachelor's thesis "The Death of Jan Masaryk" in the periodical press deals with how selected media reported on the person and death of Jan Masaryk in the period from February 25 to March 31, 1948. Specifically, these are the dailies Rudé právo and Svobodné noviny (known as Lidové noviny) . But first, he deals with the person and important events in the life of Jan Masaryk. Subsequently, it presents a brief history of both dailies. He then deals with the analysis of articles in both periodicals. The researched texts could be divided into two periods: first, before Masaryk's death and the second, the days after his death. In the first period, the dailies did not pay much attention to Jan Masaryk. They rarely wrote about him, mostly in connection with forming a new government, of which he became a member. In the second period, the number of texts mentioning his name grew significantly. The most common topic was Masaryk's funeral, first its organization, then its course and Masaryk's interview for the French daily L'ordre, from which both dailies quoted very often. At that time, it was a turning point in Czechoslovakia when non-communist ministers resigned, and Klement Gottwald began to form a government in which the Communists prevailed. At that time, the Communists also controlled print media...

Hořovice during 1945-1989
Léblová, Kateřina ; Mikeska, Tomáš (advisor) ; Parkan, František (referee)
This thesis looks into the history of the town Hořovice in the years 1945-1989. The thesis attempts to cover the most important events that took place in the chosen time span in a rather small town located in Central Bohemia but also doesn't forget to mention the everyday life of the local citizens. The thesis selects not only the events crucial from today's perspective (see Expulsion of Germans, The August 1968, …) but also facts which could be for contemporary readers (for today's citizens of Hořovice in particular) very interesting and helpful. Even though some of the facts could be regarded as minor ones, they all equally contribute to the history of the town. The thesis places all the events to the historical context with the help of archive sources, secondary literature as well as printed material and memories from that time.

Osvobozený našinec from 1945 to 1948
Marešová, Veronika ; Köpplová, Barbara (advisor) ; Knapík, Jiří (referee)
This diploma thesis, Osvobozený Našinec from 1945 to 1948, aims to analyze the aforementioned daily newspaper in the selected period. Osvobozený Našinec was a regional catholic daily newspaper published in Olomouc with a tradition of over 80 years. Despite the fact that this newspaper had in its lifetime many unpleasant influences, the communist takeover in February 1948 meant the definitive end of this newspaper. Osvobozený Našinec served mostly as a source of local information about life in Olomouc and until now hasn't been a subject of any deeper analysis. Firstly, the work deals with the development of newspaper from its establishment up until 1941 when publishing was stopped during the war. Osvobozený Našinec was published under the Czechoslovakian Popular Party after the Second World War and that is why part of the second chapter is devoted to this party and its development. The following chapter describes the situation in Czechoslovakia after the Second World War and the changes it brought in all aspects of life with regard to the press, the Olomouc region and the Czechoslovakian Popular Party. The fourth chapter deals with Osvobozený Našinec itself. Alongside general characteristics of the newspaper there is a focus on the influence of Czechoslovakian Popular Party on the newspaper, on its...

The Paasikivi's "Horrible Years" 1944-1948: J. K. Paasikivi and a threat of sovietization of Finland
Volák, Jiří ; Švec, Luboš (advisor) ; Skálová, Barbora (referee)
The Paasikivi's "Horrible Years" 1944-1948 Jiří Volák Abstract Finland did not become a Soviet satellite after the World War II, despite that many preconditions were in favor of such development. The country was defeated and, as stated in the Moscow Armistice of 1944, obliged to cede its territories and to pay severe war indemnities to the Soviet Union. Firstly, the thesis approaches domestic roots which led to this absolutely unique international position of Finland during the early Cold War years. The main goal is to map a role that Finnish Prime Minister and later President Juho Kusti Paasikivi had in securing and maintaining the surprising "Finnish path." Of what ideology he profited? Could he be compared to President Edvard Beneš of Czechoslovakia? Both primary and secondary sources are being used. According to the conclusions, Paasikivi was highly responsible for preservation of the Finnish democracy. Secondly, the significance of a Czechoslovak coup d'état is not omitted. Fear of a similar fate had a great influence on the Finnish society in the year 1948, while Agreement of Friendship, Cooperation, and Mutual Assistance between Finland and Soviet Union (YYA-sopimus) was negotiated. The result created a legal base of Finno- Soviet relation for forty years to come and the "Years of Danger", as Finnish...
