In this paper we re-analyse the situation with the shadowing corrections (SC) in QCD for the proton deep inelastic structure functions. We reconsider the Glauber - Mueller approach for the SC in deep inelastic scattering (DIS) and suggest a new nonlinear evolution equation. We argue that this equation solves the problem of the SC in the wide kinematic region where $\as \kappa = \as \frac{3 \pi \as}{2 Q^2R^2} x G(x,Q^2) \leq 1$. Using the new equation we estimate the value of the SC which turn out to be essential in the gluon deep inelastic structure function but rather small in $F_2(x,Q^2)$. We claim that the SC in $xG(x,Q^2)$ is so large that the BFKL Pomeron is hidden under the SC and cannot be seen even in such "hard" processes that have been proposed to test it. We found that the gluon density is proportional to $\ln(1/x)$ in the region of very small $x$. This result means that the gluon density does not reach saturation in the region of applicability of the new evolution equation. It should be confronted with the solution of the GLR equation which leads to saturation.
