The destroyer bandura art in Poltava region (The memories G. D. Kulakova (Ivakhnenko)

Abstract

In the article on the basis of the memories of the refugees from Donetsk, Anna Davydovna Kulakova (Ivakhnenko) the analysis of the existence of bandurists in the Poltava region is analyzed. This issue is revealed through the prism of the figures of the bandura players Nikiphor Chumak and his pupil David Ivakhnenko, a participant of the Donetsk regional philharmonic society. The articles in the memoirs of 82-year-old Ukrainian women, about the individually humble intelligent family of David Ivakhnenko, reveal a new perception of the development of the latest bandura art. They testify that the existing bandurist groups: the trio, ensembles, chapels in the Soviet era became part of the propaganda policy. Students of the repressed aspiring bandurist teachers were forced to live and work in those circumstances, which did not depend on their convictions. But in spite of everything, they remained carriers, custodians and popularizers of the best examples of national culture. The material presented highlights the stages and preconditions for the destruction of the Soviet Union's totalitarian system of bombardment and harassment of bandurists in Ukraine. The authors conduct an analysis of that spiritual struggle for national consciousness and national identity of Ukrainians, which is very clearly manifested in the Donbass today. Emphasize that the destruction of Ukrainians during the Stalinist Terror prepared a favorable ground for the hybrid war in the Donbass. Under the influence of the "red terror", the Holodomor, repressions and total destruction of the ethnic consciousness of Ukrainians, it was still possible to preserve separate shoots of national culture and national consciousness. The methods used in scientific and educational work of scientists of the Kobezarstva Museum of NIEZ "Pereyaslav" are being analyzed in order to attract the broad masses of Ukrainians to the best examples of the national cultural heritage. They allow us to awaken in the souls of Ukrainians the true spirit of love for all Ukrainian, to their native land, until the uprising of the right instruments, such as kobza and bandura, to the level of shrines.
