Maria Yudina has been a doctoral student and junior researcher at the Institute of Art History and Visual Culture since 2025. In the same year, she completed her Master’s degree at EKA with a thesis on the development of microrayons in the USSR. Before focusing on art history, Maria was trained as a linguist.<br />
<br />
Her academic interests are related to architecture and architectural history — particularly Estonian architecture during the Soviet period, as well as art more broadly.<br />
<br />
In her ongoing doctoral research, Maria focuses on the activities and professional everyday life of Estonian architects in the post-war years. In addition to visual-cultural analysis, she also approaches the topic from a linguistic perspective.
