The institution of the kobzardom essentially ended in the Ukrainian SSR in the 1930s, under a campaign against Ukrainian culture and intellectuals after Stalin 's reversal of Ukrainization policy (see Korenizatsiya , Russification ). Authentic kobzar performance was replaced with stylized performances of pseudo-folk and semi-classical music utilising the Bandura . In recent times there has been an interest in reviving of authentic kobzar traditions which is marked by the re-establishing the Kobzar Guild as a school of historical ukrainian performance practice. At the turn of the XIXth century there were three regional kobzar schools. 1. Chernihiv Kobzars 2. Poltava Kobzars 3. Slobozhan Kobzars with some differences in repertoire and playing style. ''Kobzar'' is also a seminal book of poetry by Taras Shevchenko , the great national poet of Ukraine. SEE ALSO Blind Musicians EXTERNAL LINKS
