Krylov is a fabulist of the spirit of classicism. In his works he uses allegory and very often takes a historical basis for them. For example, as in the fable Frogs asking for the king. The fable takes its history from 1809. It was in that year that Krylov wrote one of his works. The plot is borrowed from La Fontaine, who at one time, referring to the works of Aesop, wrote his creation of the same name. Now we have to explore Krylov’s fable and analyze it.
Analysis of the fable Frogs asking for the king
In Krylov's work Frogs Asking the Tsar, we are talking about frogs. At the very beginning, we see how tired they are of their free life, they don’t like popular rule, so they ask the gods to send a king, thereby depriving themselves of freedom in advance. And the gods heard the frogs, and sent them a calm, silent, sedate ruler, who was like a log of aspen. At first the frogs were afraid of him, but then they realized that they could climb on his head. True, it seemed to them that they could get an even better king, who would bring glory to their swamp.
And now, a new hero appears in the person of the Crane. Now the frogs have a king who, indiscriminately who is right and who is wrong, accuses and immediately puts the guilty in his mouth. Everyone was now afraid of such a king and it was scary to show himself to him, because he could immediately swallow him. They began to ask the gods again for a new ruler, but they had already refused their annoying request. And then we see the moral of the fable. At the request of the frogs, they were given a king, but he turned out to be too quiet. They gave another king to the petitioners, but he was very dashing. And Krylov, as a conclusion, writes that the frogs should live with the second, otherwise the third king may turn out to be even worse than the previous two.
It follows from the fable that we must appreciate what we have, although by nature we always want more and better. Indeed, in reality, as in the fable, the result often turns out to be exactly the opposite of our desires.
When analyzing the fable, you can see ordinary people in the depicted frogs, but Krylov, most likely, did not depict any specific king as the rulers. Perhaps in the first case this refers to Tsar Mikhail, who had to rule the state at a young age without life experience, and in the second version life under Pyotr Alekseevich is depicted. Although, no matter what period you take, there has always been and will be a conflict between the authorities and the people. This is shown to us in Krylov’s fable.

Morality
An analysis of the fable “Frogs Asking for the Tsar” will be incomplete without highlighting the moral aspect. Its reader can find in the words of the god Jupiter, who is sincerely perplexed why the frogs could not live happily when they had all the conditions for this. These words are quite applicable in situations where people had opportunities to improve their situation. However, they did not take advantage of these chances. And after that they complain to others about their misfortunes.
The fabulist writes in an allegorical form about those people who are ready to transfer self-determination into the wrong hands. They don't want to organize their lives. Like stupid frogs, such people want to follow a routine established from the outside. However, such ordinary people are never happy with the current situation. The reason for this may be either a real danger looming over them, or their stupidity and inability to appreciate the good that is available. After all, someone who does not want to take responsibility for their life has the most primitive interests, one of which is the senseless manifestation of arrogance and criticism.
Krylov's views and their expression in fables
In any case, the phrase spoken by Zeus at the very end of the work makes an indelible impression. It sounds like this: “Live with him so that it doesn’t get worse for you!” Thus, an analysis of the fable “Frogs Asking for the Tsar” allows us to say that this is a very sharp and acute topic in which the author tried to maximally express his negative attitude towards the ruling imperial elite. The fabulist believed that there are no good kings and each subsequent ruler will only get worse. During his creative life, the demon Ivan Andreevich Krylov wrote a lot: “The Frog Asking for the Tsar”, “Wagon Train” and others, in which he, without fear of punishment, boldly shows his attitude towards the Russian tsars.
Thus, the moral of the fable can still be applied today. No matter how good a leader or ruler is, a person always expresses his dissatisfaction with his work and wants something new. And he may turn out to be a fake log or a crane.
In the fable “Frogs Asking for a Tsar,” funny and sad things happen at the same time. The frogs were unable to live under “people's rule,” that is, without supreme power. They began to ask the gods for a king.
Twice the gods sent them a ruler, both times it had dire consequences. In the first case, “this king was a log of aspen,” and in the second, “the Crane.”
