Ljudmila Budagova a její život s českou literaturou
Ljudmila Budagova and Her Life with Czech Literature

Summary/Abstract: This text focuses on the Russian Czech studies scholar Ljudmila Budagova and analyses her contributions to Czech and international literary studies. It combines biographical details with an examination of her scholarly work and situates her within the broader context of Czech-Russian cultural relations. Particular attention is paid to her long-standing promotion of Czech literature, her research on modernism and the avant-garde, and her ability to overcome ideological barriers. A significant part of the text is devoted to an interpretation of her memoir monograph From My Life with Czech Literature (2021), which is understood as a synthesis of personal and professional experience and as a testimony to the reception of Czech literature from both external and internal perspectives. The text also reflects on the broader issue of international literary relations, particularly the tension between the “familiar” and the “foreign”, and emphasizes the importance of a dialogical and non-ideological approach to literary studies.
