Linhart, Ondřej ; Koura, Petr (advisor) ; Parkan, František (referee)
In my work The Prague Spring and the Soviet Intervention in Kadan in 1968, I dealt with the invasion of soviet soldiers into Kadan. I followed the chronological development of Kadan town in the context of the history of Czechoslovakia in the period after World War II until the days of August 1968. The highlight is the description of the events in Kadan from August 21th 1968, the attitude and manifestations of resistance of the population or city authorities against the occupation. In the final phase, the work deals with the consequences of the occupation in the region. The work is based on the study of reference book on the issue, especially the interpretation of Czechoslovak history and at the regional level from the interpretation of available sources stored in the State District Archive Chomutov based in Kadan - regional press, official documents, photographs. The work is supplemented by the memory of the witness. KEYWORDS Prague Spring, 1968, Kadan, soviet occupation, resistance, memories, culture, history

The thesis aims to show, how differently the two once "fraternised" nations may regard their common history and how a burden of different apprehension of history still influences their relations today. The thesis does not intend only to describe the events, but merely to point out the differences of interpretations in works already written, concerning backgrounds of their origin. The first part focuses on analysis of Soviet, Estonian, and contemporary Russian authors. The next part is dedicated to collective memory and to specificities of Estonian and Soviet/Russian interpretation of the events. In the Estonian case, idealisation of national heroes is emphasised, in the Soviet/Russian case is examined the way of its development. At the end a particular example of conflict between two interpretations is presented: clashes between Estonians and Estonian Russians because of meaning of the...
