This paper is a formal analysis of the Marble grave stele with a family group relief sculpture. It is a pentelic marble style relief standing at 171.1cm tall carved by a master.

In the 1900’s Russia was a world superpower. But the only port, Port Vladivostok, was only accessible in the summer seasons of Russia. But Japan’s fort, Fort Arthur, was open all year long. Russia, who looking to expand out farther, asked Japan if they could use Fort Arthur for their Navy, and maritime trades.

The empire of Russia spread drastically over the course of the nineteenth century. With the expansion of the borders of the nation, as well as the establishment of the Soviet Union, the influence of other cultures and an array of diversity soon melded into the nation.

The novels The Gift, as well as Zoo or Letters Not About Love, respectively, drew upon certain realities that existed for the authors, specifically their lives in exile from Russia in Berlin.

The novel is one of great contrasts between Chechens and Russians and also of what life was like during this time.
