In Soviet times, the name of this writer knewevery schoolboy. Many of his works were included in the compulsory program on Russian literature from the first to the tenth classes. However, today in schools the pupils are not taught the full biography of Sholokhov. A brief description of his activities is given, but this is not enough to make a complete picture of the writer's personality. Many of his works fell out of the school curriculum. However, this is simply unreasonable, because most of the stories, and later even more serious works, belonging to his pen, contribute to the education of moral values among schoolchildren. Why did they stop studying in schools? Undoubtedly, they can serve as an additional guide to history textbooks, describing the events of past years from the standpoint of an eyewitness. Sholokhov's full biography also tells about these important historical facts. Briefly tell about all the achievements of this great man, who is also a laureate of one of the most authoritative awards in the world - the Nobel Prize, is simply impossible. His contribution to the development of Soviet literature, and to the formation of public consciousness, is simply invaluable.
