Petro Ivanovych Huzii (*23 March 1903 - †23 December 1937) was a bandura player, amateur actor, and cooperator.
He was born in the village of Pashkivska in the Kuban. He was a student of Zot Dibrova. He played the diatonic bandura of the village master of a unique design (kept in the Krasnodar State Historical and Archaeological Museum-Reserve). He accompanied musical numbers in Ukrainian operas. He created a whole gallery of stage images in Ukrainian classical drama. He constantly performed in the village People's House as a bandura player and actor. He performed roles with a bandura in plays by Mykhailo Starytskyi's Bohdan Khmelnytskyi, Marko Kropyvnytskyi's The Slave, and others, and voiced vocal and choral numbers in plays by Mykola Lysenko's Natalka Poltavka, Semen Hulak-Artemovskyi's Cossack Beyond the Danube, Mykola Arkasaa's Kateryna, and others.
He was arrested by the NKVD on 1 December 1937 on charges of involvement in a "counter-revolutionary" insurgent organisation. His relatives were convinced that he was "imprisoned for the bandura". On 6 December 1937, he was sentenced to death by the decision of the three members of the Krasnodar Regional NKVD Department. He died in the city of Krasnodar. He was rehabilitated on 15 December 1956.
