Phrases from I. A. Krylov's fables are memorized in childhood and are used easily and naturally in conversation. However, the writer imbued his works with a special meaning, and often Krylov's works were a poetic response to a specific historical event. The images of characters dressed in historical costumes, created by artist Yevgeny Rachev, will help you immerse yourself in the Krylov era. In the drawings, the Wolf with his paws tucked behind his back really does look somewhat like Napoleon, the cat with one eye narrowed — like Kutuzov, the pompous Geese — like high-ranking officials, and the Fox wearing a bonnet — like a lady from the early 19th century.
