McCarthyism and it's picture in press
Šeliga, Vojtěch ; Pondělíček, Jiří (advisor) ; Calda, Miloš (referee)
The thesis deals with the phenomenon of American history known as McCarthyism, and it does so in the context of the Cold War. The work focuses primarily on the role of the press, which significantly contributed to the emergence and later demise of McCarthyism. It also deals with international and internal reasons for the emergence of McCarthyism and the person of Senator McCarthy. Using data from the Gallup research shows the effects McCarthyism had on the American society. The work concludes that McCarthyism relied on the printed media support. The press tried to deliver the message, but did not comment on it, and it was the reader who was supposed to form their own opinion. Some journalists were afraid of retribution and others were in favour of or agreed with the anti-Communist campaign. Some newspapers saw the easy money that covering the Communist infiltration was bringing. Only a small portion of printed media actually criticized McCarthyism... The reasons for the emergence of McCarthyism relates mainly to the geopolitical situation. The Soviet Union had gained control over large parts of Eastern Europe and acquired the atomic bomb, the Communists had won the civil war in China, and would soon be clashing with the US in the Korean War. The society feared new world war. By contrast the end of...

It argues that Soviet experience served as a best practices model for officialdom in Prague. This was modified where necessary to take into account the lessons learnt, national particulars, and the new geopolitical context. In both situations, foreigners were evaluated in terms of importance and potential as far as the communist cause was concerned.

The "Ice" Phase of the Cold War on the Spines of Dikobraz: the Hardest Period of the Cold War (1947-1956) in satirical reflection of the West in the Weekly Dikobraz
Zeman, Kryštof ; Rychlík, Jan (advisor) ; Stehlík, Michal (referee)
The essay is focused on the way the West was being reflected during the most dangerous phase of the Cold War on the pages of the Czechoslovak satirical and humoristic weekly Dikobraz (in English The Porcupine). The observed period 1947 - 1956 is deliniated by two key events in the history of the Cold War, namely the Truman's doctrine in its beginning and the breakthrough 20th congress of the Soviet Union's communist party, which led to a certain relief of the harshest Stalinist course in the Eastern block. The essay seeks to capture main tendencies in creating the content of Dikobraz, who and what were most frequently attacked and why. Together with that the essay touches on changes in the editorial staff and an impact of the changes on its content. The task was, apart from other things, to show Dikobraz as an important instrument of anti-western propaganda in the service of the communist regime in Czechoslovakia.
