Summary
Saltykov-Shchedrin's Tales are allegory with a very keen point, which is felt, from the very outset, in the titles: "Bears in Government," "The Idealistic Crucian," "The Eagle—Patron of Arts," "The Sapient Minnow" . . . .

Take the "Minnow," for instance. With utmost thoroughness the author describes the innumerable perils awaiting the helpless little fish. "The lobster might snap him in two with his claw, or the water flea might cling to his back and harass him to death," and then there's "the draw nets and plain nets and creels, and last but not least—the fishing line!"

But now the minnow closes his eyes; "wild with excitement" he dreams of winning two hundred thousand in a lottery. And at once in the pitiful shivering minnow we recognize the cowardly, well-intentioned philistine.

Whether it be the illiterate eagle, king of birds, who takes it into his head to become a patron of arts, or the idealistic crucian, who holds a dispute with the pike and gets swallowed, or the downtrodden nag, goaded to death by good-for-nothing gallopers—each is a scathing impersonation of one or another social vice.

The Tales, written in the eighties of the last century, are based on concrete historical reality. "The Mighty Bogatyr" and "The Eagle—Patron of Arts" are biting satires on autocracy; "The Crow That Went in Search of Truth" and "The Old Nag" picture the misery of the peasants; the conceited lion of "Bears in Government” with his ludicrous "self-pawed" inscriptions, is a well-aimed thrust at the illiterate resolutions of Tsar Alexander III, while the Bruins in the same tale ridicule the woebegone ministers of tsarist Russia.
