'The Idealist Crucian Carp' is a fairy tale-parable by Mikhail Evgrafovich Saltykov-Shchedrin, a famous Russian writer of the 19th century, published in 1884. The well-read and out-of-touch Crucian Carp one day meets a sensible and down-to-earth ruff, and shares with him his ideas about equality between all fish.
