Czech photographer Dana Kyndrová (born 1955) offers a portrait of Russian culture from the 1970s to today. Kyndrová attempts to document not only historical events such as the departure of Soviet forces from Czechoslovakia in the 1990s, but also changes in Russian values and norms.
Czech Photography of the 20th Century, published simultaneously in Czech and English versions, is the first book to present the main trends, figures, and works of Czech photography from the beginning to the end of the last century to such a large extent. Its 517 plates include not only the most important, well-known photographs and photomontages, but also works that have long been forgotten or are published for the first time. The book is arranged in seventeen chapters, supplemented with chronologies of the most important events in twentieth-century Czech photography and history.
