The Bata organization under Jan Bata’s leadership experienced rapid growth during the worldwide financial crisis and at a time of growing tensions in Europe during the 1930s. Bata’s plan was to transform his business from a local to a global manufacturing enterprise. To accomplish this task Bata needed a deeper understanding of the worldwide footwear market.
People who didn’t know Jan Bata thought that the world tour was some kind of publicity stunt. It was nothing of the sort. Bata was carefully laying the plans to expand the Bata organization.

Types of Media spreading Pro-Russian Propaganda, their Charakteristics and frequently used narratives.
By Ivana Smoleňová.
Both countries, with relatively small Russian minorities and only a handful of Russian-language media outlets, have been recently awakened by a new phenomenon – a pro-Kremlin propaganda campaign in the Czech and Slovak languages spread by media and websites that, despite strong rhetoric, claim no allegiance to the Kremlin.
