This study highlights the link between motherhood and authorship by addressingthe influence of the movementMariia on the author'sideological mindset and,consequently, in the creation of The Women's Decameron. The bond between maternity and creativity is enforced by the choice of the maternity ward as the narrative space, documentsfrom Voznesenskaia'sarchival fundand the identification of maternity and creativity in the almanac Mariia. This interpretation differs fromthe author's statementson the book presenting it entirely as a deterrent tothe application of Soviet emancipatory policy in Western countries and as a piece of anticommunist satire. The author, under the appearance of social commentary literature, "concealed" a celebration of women's right to authorship, of which women were often deprived either by the regime or by the subsidiary role imposed on womenin Soviet official literature and samizdat literary circles. This study, therefore, also discusses the author's mitigation of her ideological stance by addressing her uneven status as a woman writer in her...

Nikolaj Terlecký's Literary Legacy in Czech Literature
Nováková, Natálie ; Kosáková, Hana (advisor) ; Flaišman, Jiří (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to present the personality and unpublished work of the two-housed author Nikolai Terlecký, who emigrated to Czechoslovakia as part of the so-called Russian Aid Operation. In Czechoslovakia, he briefly became a member of the Skit group of Russian emigrant writers, making his debut with a collection of short stories Six Meters of a Smile, translated from Russian by Marie Majerová, but gradually Terlecký mastered Czech so much that he was able to publish on his own. After emigrating to Austria in 1965, he settled permanently in Zurich, Switzerland, where he continued his literary work as a Czech writer in exile and published with other exiles at the Confrontation, later Cramerius and Index. The thesis tries to present Nikolai Terlecký as a still current author, whose work is not fully published in the Czech republic. And as V. Novotný writes in Literary Counterpoints: "readers still do not know all his books in exile or his texts from the estate." Thisšthesis would like to change this fact, it is based mainly on archival materials (unpublished poems, short stories, dramas, novels and modest correspondence) found in the Monument of National Literature in the collections of N. Terlecký, J. Vladislav, J. Gessen and other well-known cultural figures.

The development of the motif of love in prosaic works of Leo Tolstoy
Chrenková, Viktória ; Nykl, Hanuš (advisor) ; Kosáková, Hana (referee)
This bachelor's thesis is dealing with the development and changes in the attitude of Leo Tolstoy towards love, marriage, partnerships and sexuality. The changes are demonstrated on particular examples from his key prosaic works which are Family Happiness, Anna Karenina and Resurrection. The writer's attitude towards love and marriage was not influenced merely by his own self-reflective thinking and a process of finding himself, but also social questions and philosophical influences of the period. As a methodological basis, we have chosen work of Canadian psychologist John Alan Lee Colours of Love: Exploration of the Ways of Loving, which in detail explores six types of love which can also be found in Tolstoy's works. Key words L. N. Tolstoy, love, marriage, sexuality, Russian literature, types of love

The second part of the bachelor thesis focuses on the definition of the genre of poem in prose, the analysis of the motifs and themes used in the poem The Dead Souls. We will examine how the chronotope of the road affects the overall character of the work and what significance it plays in the contemporary depiction of Russia. In the third part, we will proceed similarly with Moscow - Petushki. The conclusion of the thesis is composed of the comparison and interpretation of formal, stylistic and motivic means that were used in the selected works.
