3 рыба с головы гниёт
посл.fish begins to stink (stinks) at the head; a fish rots from the head- Вот папа, например... он не может себе этого представить. Он не может представить, до какой степени разложения дошла наша армия... Самовольно уходят с позиций, убивают офицеров, мародёрствуют... Невыполнение боевого приказа - теперь обычная вещь. - Рыба с головы гниёт, - вместе с дымом вытолкнул старый Листницкий фразу. (М. Шолохов, Тихий Дон) — 'Father here, for example - he simply can't imagine to what extent our army has disintegrated... They leave their positions in defiance of orders, rob and kill civilians, murder their own officers, go about marauding... Refusal to obey orders is the usual thing nowadays.' 'A fish rots from the head,' old Listnitsky puffed out the phrase with his smoke.
