Not favourite but fun and new for me, i read it today in Lenin letters:
“A small fish is better than a big cockroach”
what is the context of this lmao
He wrote that few times, usually to Gorky, about bolshevik press and party. Mostly in two meanings:
Better small newspaper being printed and distributed now than huge plans that can easily fail.
Better to have less people but trusted comrades (small fish) than unify the party with liquidators who want to destroy it (big cockroach).
