  Nikolay Yakovlevich Marr   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Marr was born in Kutaisi, Georgia, in the family of the Scottish gardener James Marr (aged more than 80) and a Georgian woman.
Marr earned a fabulous reputation of the maverick genius with his Japhetic theory, postulating the common origin of Caucasian, Semitic-Hamitic, and Basque languages.
Obtaining recognition of his theory from Soviet officials, Marr was permitted to run the National Russian Library from 1926 until 1930 and the Japhetic Institute of the Academy of Sciences from 1921 until his death.

 Armenian Architecture - VirtualANI - Nikolai Marr and his excavations at Ani
Nikolai Yakovlevich Marr was born in the Georgian town of Kutaisi on the 6th of January 1865 (25th December 1864 according to the Julian calendar then in use in the Russian Empire).
Marr had already painted a similar picture in his essay published in 1921 in "Revue Des Études Arméniennes", pointing out the irony that the people who had destroyed the museums were probably the same Muslim villagers that he had employed as workers during the excavations.
Nikolai Marr's early academic career was devoted to the study of languages rather than archaeology or art history - and it was to his former discipline that he returned to for the remainder of his life.

Marr adopted the term "Japhetic", from Japheth, the name of one of the sons of Noah, in order to characterise his theory that the Kartvelian languages of the Caucasus area were related to the Semitic languages of the Middle East (named after Shem, Japheth's brother).
This aspect of Marr's thinking was an attempt to extend the Marxist theory of international class consciousness far beyond its original meaning, by trying to apply it to language.
Marr also insisted that the notion that a people are united by common language was nothing more than false consciousness created by "bourgeois nationalism".

 Joseph Stalin xmpg.org   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
At the beginning of Stalin's rule, the dominant figure in Soviet linguistics was Nikolai Yakovlevich Marr, who argued that language is a class construction and that language structure is determined by the economic structure of society.
It is of note that the poet Anna Akhmatova was subjected to several cycles of suppression and rehabilitation, but was never herself arrested, although her first husband, poet Nikolai Gumilev, had been shot in 1921, and her son, historian Lev Gumilev, spent two decades in a gulag.
Stalin and his supporters, in his own time and since, have highlighted the notion that socialism can be built and consolidated in just one country, even one as underdeveloped as Russia was during the 1920s, and indeed that this might be the only means in which it could be built in a hostile environment.
