A work was written by Mehmet Fetgerey Şoenu (1890-1931), a Circassian patriot, who during his short life wrote several works on his ethnic group and on the Caucasus. He was

born in to the parents, who escaped the Circassian genocide, a mass slaughtering of this ethnic group by the Russian Empire. He was also one of the leading Ottoman and European

wrestles of his time and authored several works on sports.
