Abstract:
This paper attempts to review the analytical life and creative path of M.A. Sholokhov. We introduce a new research material, the originality of the early works is treated in a new way. The novel And Quiet Flows the Don is considered taking into account the textual study of manuscripts of the writer. The attention is focused on a specific way of incarnation of the national view of history and the current reality.
