You are now aware of the ukrainian bandurists. Why did Stalin kill them? Musicians seem quite harmless.
Authoritarians with their classic “no fun allowed” bullshit. Whether it’s commies or nazis, they’re all bossy faggots who won’t leave us alone and let us grill. Good grief.
>>13527530Times were horrible and the Jewish ""revolutionaries"" were doing whatever the fuck they wanted. Also Bandurists mainly sang religious songs and psalms of all sorts, and anything religious was assessed before Stalin came in.
>>13527540Generally this, but a quick fucking Wikipedia search indicates Stalin feared their instrumentality (pun intended) in raising Ukranian national consciousness, which Ukraine always had. Its why he let the Holodomor happen and why Russia is still meddling in their affairs, for some reason Ukraine having no interest in being Russia's cumrag is a big problem for vatniks.
>>13527621Probably not, Bandurists mostly sang psalms until recently, how could that raised national spirit.
>>13527621>>13527540>>13527530>>13527551Sounds like made up crap desu. It's literally Braveheart "outlawed pipes" tier.The problem was not with bandurists, but with roaming musicians, the kobzari, and the problem was that they were basically beggars playing music for tips and actively employing children to aid them in gathering money. Also this (>>13527661). Open religious propaganda wasn't acceptable back then.While soviets were dealing with various kinds of beggars, petty criminals and orphans, they also did a lot to make bandura playing more academic.
>>13527661When your communist overlords have destroyed your unique national identity which included devout religious life and you see and hear some dude singing about the old times, the good times, about the comfort of faith, you might get a little upset at the realization that it's been taken from you. Use your fucking brain you idiot>>13527673Tankie scum please kys
>>13527530He was a dyslexic retard so he confused bandura with bandera
>>13527688>no facts>no logic>muh tankies
>>13527716Not an argument and I can't accept your surrender, communism will never win. Cope, seethe, YWNBAW
>>13527530based Stalin cleaning turkic element from Ukrainian ethnos
>>13527729Obliterated
>>13527530Banderists were Nazi collaborators
>>13527688>old and good timesYou joking right? The early soviet union and the late russian empire were equally bad.
>>13527730>Banudra originated from slavic gusli though and the word itself is greek.
>>13527688This, any revitalization of a national identity was quite literally criminal as everyone from Trotsky to Lenin to Stalin outlawed denounced nationalism as ‘racist pseudoscience’.>>13527730Not when he imported hundreds of thousands of them and purposefully moved them and every other race around to facilitate mixing lol
>>13527530I doubt Stalin killed them.
>>13529150> Not when he imported hundreds of thousands of them and purposefully moved them and every other race around to facilitate mixing lolwhat alternate history is this lmaoStalin is the main reason why Southern Ukraine and Crimea is inhabited by slavs and not turkic krymchaks and karaims. He also deported some turkics like Karachai Balkars from Caucasian plain making it 90% Russian. He deported to central Asia Chechens, Ingushes, Kurds and Hamshen muslim Armenians and they were allowed to return only after his death by Khruschev
