Related introduction:
Lenin pointed out more than once that Marxists' attitude towards some great proletarian revolutionaries who made mistakes, such as Baerbel and Luxemburg, was completely different from that of the Second International revisionists.
To this end, Lenin quoted a Russian fable satirizing revisionists, "The eagle sometimes flies lower than the chicken, but the chicken will never fly as high as the eagle." Bebel and Luxemburg are "great people". Although they made mistakes, they are still "eagles", and the revisionists are a group of "chickens" in the backyard of the workers' movement.

Krylov's fable is very popular and realistic, which contains all his life wisdom and practical experience passed down from generation to generation from his parents. Animal and plant images are often used to reflect a wide range of social life, portray the complex personalities of various people in society and express their democratic ideas, which have special appeal.
It was written by Ian krylov. He wrote poems, comedies, satirical essays, edited progressive journals, and began to write fables in his later years. He thinks fable is an easy-to-understand literary genre, and everyone loves it. The metaphorical language of fables makes it easy for the author to express the views and beliefs that the rulers are not allowed to say.
