The study assesses the evolution and the current state of the IR studies in the CzechRepublic. It starts from a critical stance towards those interpretations that succumb to the simplifiedbackwardness-modernization logic. Instead the study puts forth an analysis that builds on postcolonialand subaltern approaches while showing that modernization can paradoxically reinforcethe structural dependence of the discipline. The current Czech IR studies are thus better describedas a hybrid discipline based on both the mechanical acceptance of Western theoretical approachesand exclusionary practices than as a successful modernization. The ability to conduct theoreticallyorientedresearch is often seen as one of the benefits of the discipline’s integration in the internationalacademic structures. However, what is entirely ignored is the negative impact of the neoliberaldisciplining techniques, commodification of research and consequently also the emergence ofacademic mimicry and the related fragmentation of the entire field.

The article considers the 50th anniversary of the journal Mezinárodní vztahy from the perspective of Immanuel Wallerstein’s world-systems theory. It shows how the journal and its establishment and development reflect the structural position of the Czechoslovak/Czech International Relations research at the semiperiphery. The concept of semiperiphery captures both the place of a political community (Czechoslovakia/Czech Republic) in the global world-system and the position of a research community (International Relations) within the global scientific field. The article poses three questions. First, is it possible, despite structural constraints, to produce world class research in the Czech context? Second, are there any advantages stemming from the semiperipheral position? Third, does the Czech research community have an exceptional role to play with regard to any questions and topics? The article argues that it is possible to produce world class research in the Czech Republic because there are some advantages to the semiperipheral position. The Czech research community has a key role to play in shaping social and political debates within the Czech political community.

The analysis surveys the evolution of security studies in the Czech Republic after 1990. Firstly, the historical context and institutional development of the discipline are analyzed; afterwards the intellectual tradition of Czech security studies is introduced, and the theories used in the discipline in the Czech Republic are mentioned. The central point of the analysis is the character and content of the articles published in the journal Mezinárodní vztahy. We conclude that the research of international security in the Czech Republic is strongly interconnected with the country’s executive politics and that Mezinárodní vztahy is the central platform for Czech security research.

The paper studies the semantic and pragmatic potential of female nominations, which arised as a result of gender transposition (i.e. the syntactic phraseologisms formed on the model "the man (masculinical — who, what) in the skirt"). Some formal and semantic aspects of those nominations are described here taking into account the principle of dominative masculinity as a consequence of the androcentricity of languages of the postpatriarchal type as well as the impacts of stereotypes of masculinity and femininity. An investigation is made on the material of Russian last decade media, including electronic sources, fiction texts, online forums and blogs.

The article attempts to outline the specific fragments of the linguistic image-concept of Ukraine represented in contemporary Russian media. There is made a study of some semantic groups in the concept structure as well as of their pragmatic, semantic and onomasiological specificity of the ratio of informative, emotive and expressive component of names. Here there are investigated the semantic conversions of units serving to form a complete image-concept of Ukraine and Ukrainian reality in the minds of Russian readers as well as the certain new names which arose as a result of the Euromaidan events. The study is based on the material of the Russian-speaking Internet publications, blogs and forums, representing the Eastern Slavic informational space.

The author of the present article tries to demonstrate — in connection with several Russian team publications and three significant personalities of Russian Czech literary studies — the specific features of the Russian research of Czech literature, its positive features and pitfalls. The latter ones are often linked with the excessive dependence on the opinions of the Czech literary establishment in any historical period and with a less intensive integration of genuine Russian and — in a wider sense — East-Slavonic cultural experience. The studies by Sergey Nikolsky, Lyudmila Budagova, and Svetlana Sherlaimova, however, also represent relatively independent reflections of Czech literature as a whole and, above all, its leading personalities.

The paper deals with some problematic aspects of transcribing Czech letters into Russian Cyrillic, such as the transfer of letters i/y, letter l, some family name endings and special rules for orthography of transcribed proper names. So far, no unified way of transcribing these problematic letters has been approved by a majority of specialists and language users, which makes the transfer very inhomogeneous and mistakes in proper names transfer are very common. The author of this article gives a summary of existing ways of transcription and after analysing both theoretical and practical material offers her own solution of all of the problems.
