Persecuted Kobzars And Bandurists
Kobzars and bandurists were a unique class of musicians in Ukraine, who travelled between towns and sang Duma (epic), dumas, a meditative poem-song. Kobzars were usually blind, and required the completion of a three-year apprenticeship in specialized Kobzar guilds, in order to be officially recognized as such. In 1932, on the order of Stalin, the Soviet authorities called on all Ukrainian Kobzars to attend a congress in Kharkiv. Those that arrived were taken outside the city and were all executed. Persecution of bandurists and kobzars by the Soviet authorities can be divided up into various periods. These periods differed in the type and length of persecution and punishments were dealt out and also the reason for the punishment. Following is a list of persecuted Bandurists sourced from ''Music from the Shadows'' by Roman Malko and ''The Voices of the Dead'' by Kuromiya Hiroaki.
