By analyzing the themes that engaged Jandova's attention, the main aim of the author is to trace the development and the chronology of her stylistically varied oeuvre. In doing so, the intent of the work is to evaluate the artist's graphic production in its broader cultural and historical context.

Kachalova, Ekaterina ; Czumalo, Vladimír (advisor) ; Pech, Milan (referee)
Kaliningrad was founded in 1255 by Czech king Premysl Otakar II. It is as old as Usti nad Labem and as large as Brno, with the Latin name Regiomontium, Czech name Královec, German name Königsberg, Polish name Królewiec, Lithuanian name Karaliaučius and Russian name Kaliningrad. The city has endured massive destruction during the Second World War, which has made her marks on the face and soul of the city. The third generation of Russians lives in Kaliningrad nowadays. They are interested in the history of their new homeland and centenary history of the former German city. The spirit lives on in buildings facades, sculptures and urban landscape. In this work I would like to explore the development of the historic German town before World War I, changes and development of the modernist center of the new soviet Kaliningrad region and how it has changed in contemporary Russian realities on the example of a former heart of the capital of East Prussia - Royal Castle which was replaced by buildings of House of Soviets.
