Significant Contributions
Three editions of a Bandura primer were published in Moscow by Kuban bandurist Vasyl Shevchenko. The first professional Bandurist Capella was organized in Yekaterinodar in 1917 by Kravchenko under the auspices of the Prosvita organization. This capella existed a year before the establishment of a similar professional bandurist capella in Kiev in 1918. Many of the members of the Kiev Bandurist Capella were in fact Kuban Cossacks who had learned to play the bandura in Yekaterinodar. Kuzma Nimchenko made significant contributions to the development of bandura construction in the late 1920s and early 30s. Kuban bandurists were very prominent in the Kiev bandurist Capella and also in the establishment of bandura groups in Prague and in the Ukrainian diaspora.

Famous quotes containing the word significant:
“... the loss of belief in future states is politically, though certainly not spiritually, the most significant distinction between our present period and the centuries before. And this loss is definite. For no matter how religious our world may turn again, or how much authentic faith still exists in it, or how deeply our moral values may be rooted in our religious systems, the fear of hell is no longer among the motives which would prevent or stimulate the actions of a majority.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
