У сильного всегда бессильный виноват — Ivan Krylov | Printable Wall Art

“У сильного всегда бессильный виноват”
“The powerful always find the powerless at fault”

Words by Ivan Krylov (1769-1844) — Russia's most celebrated fabulist.

About this quote

This line observes how those in positions of authority or strength often scapegoat the vulnerable to justify their own unfair actions. Rather than accepting blame or acting with justice, the strong manipulate the narrative so that the weak are held responsible for problems they did not cause. It is a timeless observation about the abuse of power and injustice.

This line opens Ivan Krylov's 1808 fable, The Wolf and the Lamb. Krylov used simple animal stories to offer sharp commentary on social injustice, corruption, and human nature during the Russian Imperial era.

People often display this in a study or home office as a sober reminder to remain fair and empathetic.
