It is difficult to compare the Pale of settlement with the ghettos that existed in Europe. The first chapter describes the origin of Pale of settlement itself. The second chapter discuss the general definition of Pale of settlement and the issue of translation of this term into the Czech language. The third chapter focuses on the historical context, the main emphasis is put on the legislation in Russia that was enacted in relation to Jews. It is also very important to mention the attitude to Jews of each tsar and official, because then their attitude was reflected in the laws.

The work is based mainly on contemporary literature and contemporary legislative activity, which gives the opportunity to best understand the attitude of the Russian government to the Jews of the Russian Empire.

Pavla Ksiazkiewiczová Německo-ruské vztahy na pozadí ukrajinské krize a rusko- gruzínské války Abstract The thesis examines the German response to the Ukrainian Crisis in 2008 and the Russo- Georgian War in 2014. On the background of these two conflicts, I would like to demonstrate the German-Russian relations and their deterioration in the past years. My main research question was why did Germany decide to support and advocate the EU sanctions against Russia during the Ukrainian Crisis in 2014, when they did not promote such a solution in the 2008 during the Russo-Georgian War. My hypothesis is that German foreign policy shifted from the economic interests-oriented approach towards norm-oriented one. I am working with the theory Foreign policy analysis, which studies the management of international relations and state's activities. This theory can be understood as a critique towards dominant structural approach in international relations because it says that foreign policy is determined by the domestic policy. I constructed the German response to the Ukrainian Crisis and the Russo- Georgian War using qualitative discourse analysis. With this method I am analyzing the statements of those actors, who influence German foreign policy.

This thesis aims to analyse two very strong notions - Religiousness and Anarchism. We are used to comprehend these two notions as very different from one another, or even as two opposites. This thesis will show that even though we see Anarchism as Atheism, it is not always possible to exclude Religiousness from it. This fact will be shown as specifically Russian phenomenon. That is why it will be needed to explain broader context of Russian thought in the 19th century. Thesis will also aim to works of prince and anarcho-communist Peter Alexej Kropotkin where it will be possible to exemplify the strong inveteracy of Religiousness in Russian (Anarchist) thought and also the possibility of a dialog between these two notions. Keywords religious motives, religiosity, russian thinking, anarchism, anarchokomunism, spiritual thinking
