	Kobzar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Kobzar (Ukrainian: kобзар) was a Ukrainian itinerant Cossack bard.
		After the abolition of Hetmanate by the Empress Catherine II of Russia the apellation "kobzar" was applied to all itinerant blind singers.
		In Ukraine kobzars were organized in Guilds, known as Kobzars'kyj Tsekh and had to undergo a rigorous apprenticeship (usually 3 years in length) before undergoing the first set of open examinations to become a kobzar.

	UBC - Kobzari
		In the late 18th century the occupation of kobzar became almost the exclusive of the blind and crippled, who organized kobzar brotherhoods to protect their corporate interests.
		In the 19th and 20th centuries, particularly from the 1870's, the kobzars, including the virtuosos Ostap Veresai and Hnat Honcharenko, were persecuted by the tsarist regime as propagators of Ukrainophile sentiments and historical memory.
		The Kuban kobzars A. Chorny, V. Lyashenko, and D. Darnopykh became famous, and the bandura was introduced into the military orchestras of the Kuban kozaks.

	Ultima Thule: Kobzar's Children
		As Marsha explains in the foreword, the kobzars were Ukraine's blind, wandering minstrels, who in the ancient tradition of Homer memorized long epic historical poems that spoke of the great events of Ukrainian history, and in doing so kept a population that was largely illiterate in touch with their great heritage.
		There are a few kobzars who survived to tell the tale, and a very few who carry on the tradition today.
		The Kobzar Genocide by Stalin is one of the great unknow tragedies of all time.

		The Kobzars were old blind men who wandered with kobzas on their backs from village to village and sang on squares, in markets or near churches.

		One czar presented a kobzar named Veresai with a silver snuffbox, for which he was kicked out of the kobzar guild - not because he had accepted the gift, but because he afterwards walked around and boasted about it.

		Not having seen the 1931 edition of this Kobzar, I can't say whether each of the drawings in the second (1933) edition also appeared in the 1st edition or whether Sedliar added any new ones.

	Bluffton University - Art: The Kobzar
		The Kobzar is based on a real person, a blind Ukrainian folk minstrel Klassen found performing in an opera house in St. Petersburg, and then paid to sit as a model.
		Klassen intended his original Kobzar sculpture to be a gift from the Mennonite to the Russian people in the early 1900s because "they were good to us." To his disappointment, the government did not accept this gift, as Soviet authorities were wary of rekindling Ukrainian nationalism.
		Klassen later sculpted the small statue of the Kobzar from memory as a symbol bridging the gap between Mennonites and the non-Mennonite world around them.

		The Kobzars were the wandering folk bards who performed a large repertoire of epic-historical, religious and folk songs while playing a Kobzar or Bandura.
		The Kobzars used an ancient lute instrument that was known in Ukraine as early as the 11th century and it was used to accompany the recitations of these bards.
		The Ukrainian people suffered a tragedy of monumental proportions when in the 1930's hundreds of these Kobzars were rounded up in Ukraine and murdered for their beliefs and way of life.

		Within four minutes the scores on the day were tied again however, Julio making the most of a deflection off Pavel Stepanov to make it 1-1, a scoreline that would remain the same until half-time, thanks in the main to some superb goalkeeping from Rafa.
		Dinamo added more energy and movement after the interval, and it was Kobzar who made Rafa work again on 21 minutes, with Pelé unable to make the most of the rebound.
