Oleksandr Kornievskyi - a master bandurist from Koryukivka, who during his almost one-hundred-year-old life created hundreds of musical instruments, among which - 180 banduras are today decorations of world collections.
Unfortunately, at that time, the Soviet authorities not only did not appreciate the talent of our compatriot, but also punished him in every possible way for the fact that the man supported and developed Ukrainian culture. The Red authorities arrested the master three times (1932, 1934, 1937), sentenced him to 10 years in a camp, and threw him to the bottom of society.
However, she could not break his will to life and creativity.
