Description of the Artwork “Holy lirnyk.”

Automatic translation

In 30 years. XX century. near Kharkov, a detachment of a special department of the NKVD of the Ukrainian SSR shot blind kobzar musicians and their young guide dogs. Secretly. Gathering them to the supposedly congress of folk singers ... 337 kobzars and lyre, as many more children as guide dogs !!! More than half a thousand people. All the documentary evidence of the NKVD and the KGB was destroyed in order “not to compromise the gallant organs of the KGB of the USSR in the future.” In the picture with the help of a mirror one can read, by nimbus, the history of this grief. Descendants. Everlasting memory!

Holy lirnyk.
