TextIn 1937, Georgi Tasin (1895–1956) directed Nazar Stodolya, which is based on a play by the great poet and writer Taras Shevchenko, one of the founders of Ukrainian literature and the modern Ukrainian language. The man on the poster playing the bandura is Hnat Khotkevych (1877–1938), an ethnographer, musician, and writer. Nazar Stodolya was his first and only appearance in cinema; ten months after the film's release, he was arrested and shot during the Great Purge.
