M.A. Sholokhov in the novel "And Quiet Flows The Don" created a unique gallery of original female images – the images of the Cossacks. This article is devoted to the consideration and understanding of the role of female images in the course of the narrative of the Vyoshenskaya (UpperDon) uprising – the key event of the third book and the novel "And Quiet Flows the Don" as a whole. When creating the characters of the Cossacks, Sholokhov seeks to follow the historical truth and embody the disharmonious state of the world, where women, faced with revolutionary and military events, for the most part do not take part in the political struggle and retain their inherent gender traits – female wisdom, sensitivity, comprehensive mercy. The artistic representation of the Cossack women in the chapters on the Vyoshensky uprising is considered as one of the characteristic features of M. A. Sholokhov, since it was in the system of female images that the spiritual and valuable essence of any non-warrior who fell into the events of the Civil War was embodied with particular clarity and relief.

Key words: M.A. Sholokhov, And Quiet Flows the Don, women character images, Veshenskaya uprising, literary style, stylistic dominant feature
