Abstract. The article considers the continuity between L. N. Tolstoy and M. A. Sholokhov which is examined by literary critics of the 1930s. The paper raises the problem of M. A. Sholokhov’s creative borrowing of story elements, techniques to create characters’ psychological portrait from L. N. Tolstoy. Literary criticism of the 1930s proposes that M. A. Sholokhov creatively reinterpreted some of L. N. Tolstoy’s artistic devices, and so "Quietly Flows the Don" appears - a unique in its artistic power literary work.
