The main focus will be on post-war history and the current problems of the countries of the European Union, the countries of the former Soviet Union and the United States of America. The problems of European integration and security are also themed. Each lecture will be accompanied by a brief bibliography to expand knowledge on the subject.

Each lecture will be presented with a short, jointly corrected test, which the participants will keep. It will be accompanied by a brief bibliography of the subject.

Passing the test at the end of this course may replace the recruitment process. Participants in the course will be informed of the outcome of the course and any conditional admission to the Faculty of Social Sciences of Charles University (FSV UK) by the end of March so that they can devote themselves uninterrupted to completing their secondary studies. The course is based on regular attendance, with a maximum of two absences allowed. You must keep your camera on during the course.
