Повесть о том, как один мужик двух генералов прокормил by Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin
A sharp satirical tale about two pompous, retired generals who are utterly helpless and proud despite destitution, surviving only because an unassuming peasant quietly does all the practical labor—growing food, chopping wood, and keeping the household running—while the generals issue orders and take credit; their dependence exposes the absurdity and moral emptiness of a parasitic ruling class and serves as a biting indictment of social inequality and bureaucratic incompetence.
