124 VII. Shrnutí Diplomní práce s názvem Prezident republiky v ústavním systému předmnichovské ČSR se zabývá ústavním postavením prezidenta republiky v době první republiky, tj. v letech 1918 - 1938 a to po stránce formálně ústavní, avšak i z hlediska jeho faktického postavení. Autor v diplomní práci naznačuje slabší formální postavení prezidenta republiky v tzv. prozatímní ústavě z roku 1918 ( zákon č. 37/1918 Sb. z. a n. ze dne 13. listopadu 1918, o prozatímní ústavě ) a jeho poněkud silnější formální postavení v Ústavní listině z roku 1920 ( zákon č. 121/1920 Sb. z. a n. ze dne 29. února 1920, kterým se uvozuje Ústavní listina Československé republiky ) a dále v práci zdůrazňuje velmi silné faktické postavení prezidenta republiky Tomáše Garrigue Masaryka plynoucí z jeho silné osobnosti, avšak i s ohledem na jeho zásluhy o vznik Československé republiky a z jeho všestranných morálních předpokladů pro výkon této funkce. Silné faktické postavení prezidenta republiky je vysvětleno na jeho vztahu k vůdcům státotvorných politických stran uskupených v neformální koalici zvané " pětka", kterými byl první prezident pro svoji autoritu respektován. Dále se autor věnuje podrobně jednotlivým pravomocem prezidenta republiky, které byly vymezeny především zmiňovanou Ústavní listinou z roku 1920, avšak i dále celou...

The main topic of the thesis is the religious development of Pilsen at the times of the First Republic (1918-1938), which is understood as the development of the Catholic Church, the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren, the Czechoslovak Church and the Non-believers' Movement. The aim is to introduce individual religious entities, to show their mutual interaction and their ability to influence the surrounding society. The influence of religion is observed throughout the society, from the communal politics through the school education to the regional identity. This is all happening on the background of complex social processes (demographical, economic, cultural, political and social) that are properly taken into account. Another important topic of this work is the ability of religious organizations to respond adequately to the new challenges that emerge with these processes. The regional data identified are compared to similar urban areas and the rest of the country. Religious development in Pilsen should not only give evidence of the city itself, but also about the First Czechoslovak Republic as such. Key words: Czechoslovakia, First Republic, Pilsen, religion, social movement

This dissertation is devoted to the Czechoslovakian entry into the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (COMECON) and the consequences of this membership on Czechoslovak economics in the following ten years. The thesis discourses about the reasons for the entry into the COMECON by analysing the postwar economic and political situation as well as the elements Czechoslovakia was expecting from it. The emphasis of this dissertation is on the first two years of the functioning of the COMECON, during which it was revealed to be primarily an instrument of Soviet politics, and which affected the transformation towards the preference for heavy indrustry. The intention of the thesis is to confirm that Czechoslovakia was suiting its economical structure to the needs of the Eastern Bloc, which were pursued through COMECON. The study also focuses on the analysis of changes in COMECON activity and their impact on the Czechoslovak economy over the years. The purpose of the thesis is to review the motives behind the Czechoslovak entry into COMECON along with the consequences COMECON membership had on Czechoslovakia in the first ten years of its existence.

The interwar Czechoslovak agrarian reform was put in motion to improve national agriculture production by way of the redistribution of the estates. The second goal was to eliminate the unwanted influence of the foreign (German and Hungarian) landlords. This huge project was held from 1919 untill it was officialy ended in 1935, but the idea of the land reform was significant in Czechoslovakia for a much longer period (mostly after World War II. and during the restitution processes). The interwar landreform changed more than 29% of Czechoslovakia (more than 4 million hectares were confiscated). Approximately one half of this amount was assigned to the alienees, the second half remained in the hands of the former owners. Both of the main goals were accomplished by this huge transfer of property. The smallest homesteads were extended using the land from the largest estates and became more effective. The properties of the landlords were decreased in size by one half and their influence on the national economy was reduced. Despite some imperfections in the reform laws and how they were carried out, the main targets were accomplished and I assume this project was successful. Better outcomes could be reached only with different conditions, like a longer period of time. In a comparison of other similar reforms, the Czechoslovak land reform was the third largest (after Russian and Romanian).
