The theme of the plagiarism “quiet Don” so became explicit that from the different places are heard the voices about the acknowledgement of Fedor [Kryukov] and the overthrow of illiterate Mikhail Sholokhov from Olympus “quiet Don's authorship”.
On February 2, 2009 are fulfilled 139 years from the birthday of the great Russian writer, author of the novel “quiet Don” Fedor [Dmitrievicha] [Kryukova]. It was born in the cossack village Of [glazunovskoy] Ust' -[Medveditskogo] the region of the earth the troops of Donskoy. Petersburg historico-philological institute finished. State councilor. Deputy of the first State Duma. Division head of literature and skill of the journal “Russian wealth” (editor [V]. [G]. [Korolenko]). In the Civil War it came out on the side of white. Secretary of troop circle. In 1920, after gathering into the field bags of the manuscript in order to publish them abroad, it stepped back together with the remainders of the army Of [denikina] to Novorossisk. On some information on the Kuban Fedor [Kryukov] fell ill with typhus, on others it was poisoned and robbed by Peter [Gromoslavskiy], future father-in-law of Sholokhov and died on February 20. Author of the novel “quiet Don” and other works, assumed as the basis so of that called “writer Sholokhov”.
“Quiet Don” authorship - this is riddle for the people, which do not know how to read, or which hold the book upward by feet. The author of the novel “quiet Don” Fedor [Kryukov] was the best-known before the revolution writer on to Don, finished university in Petersburg, headed the division of literature and skill of the journal “Russian wealth”, editor in chief of which was Vladimir [Korolenko]. With Fedor [Kryukov] learned in one secondary school Peter [Gromoslavskiy], future father-in-law of Sholokhov. The manuscript of novel in 1920, after loss is hook, it reached The [gromoslavskomu]. With them Alexander Serafimovich, who on the field of the destruction “nobiliary” culture and accession of proletarian completed together with the friend [Gromoslavskim] adventure, still learned. Was necessary new, young proletarian writer. And he was located. Illiterate Sholokhov married on its daughter [Gromoslavskiy], and was placed Sholokhov's name on the novel, minimized by barbarisms and caddish speech. But the style of writer Fedor Hook and in centuries not to hide. The narrative “of young Cossack” and especially “ripple” they speak about the creative relationship. However, Sholokhov was only minimally competent, but itself to write anything artistic he did not know how. At the anniversary session in the museum of Mayakovskiy in 2005 Roy Medvedev to me described this episode. The group of writers completed excursion along the river on the motor ship in order for the night to describe its impressions about the building of channel. Everything they wrote, except Sholokhov.
