Пам'ятний знак репресованим кобзарям, бандуристам, лірникам, Monument to persecuted musicians in Shevchenko Garden, Kharkiv, Ukraine.
The granite memorial features a carved kobza instrument and stands near the Opera and Ballet Theater to honor Ukrainian folk musicians.
During the 1930s Soviet repression, hundreds of kobzars, bandura players, and lyrists were arrested and many disappeared during a reported congress in Moscow.
These Ukrainian folk musicians, often blind veterans of the Cossack era, performed traditional songs accompanied by national string instruments.
The memorial, erected in 1997 through public donations, serves as a gathering point for annual commemorative events and cultural demonstrations.
In December 2015, vandals removed the kobza instrument element from the memorial, altering its original appearance.
