...river Don, deep in Cossack country, in the tiny village of Veshenskaya, lives gentle-mannered Mikhail Sholokhov. There, under the straw which roofs his three-room cottage, Sholokhov watches the great river swell and wither with the seasons and writes novels (such as And Quiet Flows the Don) which are the closest approach to enduring literature that revolutionary Russia has produced. An impressed American once said of Sholokhov: "He writes for no censorship except truth...
...born. As Nicolai Tikhanov of the Writers' Union says: "In the course of cruel battle grew a hatred of the Germans - a heavy hatred, an indistinguishable hatred, a personal hatred, a hatred which still moves the Red Army and the Soviet people forward." On June 23, 1942, Mikhail Sholokhov wrote a terrific news paper story called The School of Hate, setting the pitch for the hate propaganda, of which Ilya Ehrenburg became the strident genius. The Russian people still feel that hatred and are very much afraid that the British and the Americans may be "sentimental" toward the Germans...
...Writers. In my opinion, one man stands above and apart from all these things. He is Mikhail Sholokhov, the nearest approach to a man of genius in Russia's great tradition. The author of And Quiet Flows the Don and The Soil Upturned stays in his native village of Veshenskaya and writes. He does not come to Moscow to spend the writers' tremendous royalties and reap his great honors. He refuses to become the president of the Writers' Un ion, because he is too busy - writing.

And when it wants to, Pravda can draw on the best of contemporary Russian writers: Gregory Riklin, Mikhail Sholokhov, Konstantin Simonov. The staff writer best known in the U.S. is the one who has most often criticized U.S. citizens: David Iosifovich Zaslavsky, author of Pravda's recent cracks at Wendell Willkie (TIME, Jan. 17), at William Randolph Hearst for "spilling poisoned ink," at the New York Times's Military Expert...
...paid, most honored writers-winner of a Stalin prize, the Red Banner of Labor, and, last week, the Order of Lenin, Russia's top civilian honor. Incredibly prolific, he writes pamphlets, radio broadcasts, recently published a volume of lyric verse. His only rival in popularity is stocky Mikhail Sholokhov, 39, author of And Quiet Flows the Don (TIME, July 2, 1934) and The Don Flows Home to the Sea (TIME, Aug. 4, 1941). Pravda has been serializing his new epic They Fought for Their Country...
