The Marenych Trio, or the Marenychs was a Ukrainian musical group that performed folk songs mostly in Ukrainian. The subsequent decline in the band's popularity and disappearance from television and radio is attributed to disputes between the band members and officials of the Ministry of Culture of the Ukrainian SSR... Among the reasons for these disputes are also the band's refusal to give concerts at stadiums, perform Soviet patriotic songs...
