Artistic Device Used by M. Sholokhov in "Quiet Flows the Don"

The artistic device used by M. Sholokhov in the given excerpt from "Quiet Flows the Don" is a simile.

Mikhail Sholokhov uses a simile to vividly describe the scene. A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two different things using the words "like" or "as" to make the comparison. In this case, the simile "как рыбы на нересте" (like fish during spawning) is used to convey the crowded and tightly packed nature of the scene, comparing the people to fish during spawning.

This simile serves to create a strong visual image and conveys the sense of crowdedness and close proximity among the people in the scene.
