It is widely accepted that the author of the famous «Zaporizhian March» alone is the Romny kobzar Yevhen Adamtsevych, a student of Musiy Oleksiyenko. In particular, it is confirmed via the correspondence of the researcher of kobzar performance O. Pravdyuk with the bandurist. In one letter to him Yevhen Adamtsevych wrote:

Now regarding Zaporizhian March.
In 1926 I heard the melody; the first part - from kobzar Ivan Kyrylovych Polozhai, the second part, the major one, I composed and after combining them together, gave the name to Zaporizhian March.
