Who benefits?
There is a Latin saying "cui prodest" - "who benefits?" When it is not immediately obvious what political or social groups, forces, magnitudes defend well-known proposals, measures, etc., the question should always be asked: “Who benefits?” (V.I. Lenin, Who benefits?)
In Russia now, thanks to the fact that the dictatorship of the proletariat has practically raised the fundamental, final questions of capitalism, it is clear with particular clarity who is served (cui prodest? “who is useful?”) conversations about freedom and equality in general. (Also, About the struggle within the Italian Socialist Party.)
The matter does not change at all because Ivan or Peter, while defending these views (in one part or another - for liquidationism is in the “process of growing current tasks”), consider themselves Marxists. It’s not about their good intentions (who have those), but about the objective meaning of their policy, i.e., what comes out of it, how it prodest, who is useful, what kind of mill this water actually turns. (Aka, Conversation about cadetism.)
They [impartial persons] have no personal grievances against us, we did not hurt their pride, did not inspire them with hatred or envy and, in addition, we have no reason to assume that their reason is tightly sealed or that they have any personal motives. The only thing we recommend to them is not to lose sight of the "cui prodest" of Roman law when they are about to enter into controversy with the Bell. (A.I. Herzen, To our readers.)
Cui prodest? Who was interested in the death of Babor, Peters, Tilman, Heyde, Osterloh? All of them belonged to the Nazi elite and had influential patrons in Bonn. And at the same time, they knew the dark sides of the lives of these important people. (V. Chernyavsky, Bonn: mysterious suicide.)

You'll probably be surprised to notice how many Latin words you already know. Hundreds of words, for example such as memo, alibi, agenda, census, veto, alias, via, alumni, affidavit And versus, are used in English as abbreviations, for example: i.e. (id est, that is) and etc. (et cetera, and the rest). Some Latin phrases are so firmly rooted in English and Russian that we use them without even thinking about the fact that they are borrowed: bona fide(in good faith - conscientious) alter ego(other self - another me), persona non grata(unwelcome person - unwanted person), vice versa(position turned - vice versa), carpe diem(seize the day - seize the moment, enjoy the day), cum laude(with praise - with honor), alma mater(nourishing mother - nursing mother) and quid pro quo(this for that - then for this). Many languages have adopted other, less banal phrases from Latin. Remember them and use them whenever possible.
1. AURIBUS TENEO LUPUM
Literal translation: “I hold the wolf by the ears.” The proverb is taken from the work “Phormion” by the Roman playwright Terence. It means "to be in hopeless situation", "between the devil and the deep sea". The English equivalent is “Holding a tiger by the tail.”
2. BARBA NON FACIT PHILOSOPHUM
“A beard does not make you a philosopher,” “having a beard does not mean that you are a philosopher.” The Romans were very fond of associating a beard with intelligence. Eg, " Barba crescit, caput nescit"(the beard has grown, but there is no intelligence).
3. BRUTUM FULMEN
Apparently, this aphorism was invented by Pliny the Elder. Expression " Brutum fulmen" V literal translation means "meaningless lightning", that is, empty threats.
4. CAESAR NON SUPRA GRAMMATICOS
The phrase was born when one of the Roman emperors made a linguistic mistake in his public speech. When this oversight was pointed out to him, the emperor angrily declared that since he was the emperor, from now on this mistake would be considered not an error, but the norm. To which one of the council members replied: “ Caesar non supra grammaticos", or “The Emperor is not above the grammarians” (and Caesar is not above the grammarians). This phrase became a popular saying that began to be used in defense of grammar.
5. CARPE NOCTEM
Is the “night” analogue of the expression “ Carpe diem" and translates to “enjoy the night.” This phrase can be used to motivate someone (including yourself) to finish all the tasks during the day, and leave the evening time for rest.
6. CARTHAGO DELENDA EST
In the midst Punic Wars(wars between Rome and Carthage, 264–146 BC), Roman statesman Cato the Elder ended all his speeches in the Senate (regardless of their topic) with the phrase “ Carthago delenda est", or "Carthage must be destroyed" (Carthage must be destroyed). His words quickly became a popular motto in ancient Rome. The phrase means a persistent call to fight an enemy or obstacle.
7. CASTIGAT RIDENDO MORES
Literally translated it means “morals are castigated with laughter.” This motto was coined by a French poet who believed that in order to change the rules, it is necessary to show how absurd they are.
8. CORVUS OCULUM CORVI NON ERUIT
“A raven will not peck out a crow’s eye.” The aphorism means the presence of common interests (often selfish) between people who do not betray each other and act together.
9. CUI BONO?
Literal translation: “Who benefits from this?”, “In whose interests is this?” A question that often helps determine who is the culprit of a crime. In general, in English this phrase is used to question the benefit of an action.

10. ET IN ARCADIA EGO
Nicolas Poussin " Arcadian shepherds»Arcadia was a region in Ancient Greece whose inhabitants were mostly shepherds and farmers. They led a calm and measured life away from the noise and bustle. Latin saying " Et in Arcadia ego" literally translated as “and in Arcadia I.” The painting “The Arcadian Shepherds” by French artist Nicolas Poussin depicts four shepherds looking at an old tombstone on which this Latin saying is engraved. The “I” in this expression is seen as death, which reminds mortals that even in the quietest, happiest and most carefree place, people will inevitably end.
11.EX NIHILO NIHIL FIT
Presumably, this statement belongs to the Roman philosopher Lucretius and is translated into Russian as “from nothing nothing comes.” This phrase is used as a reminder that a person does any work in order to achieve something.
12. FELIX CULPA
It was originally a religious term referring to the biblical fall of Adam and Eve. " Felix culpa"(literally translated “lucky guilt”) means a mistake that subsequently had a favorable outcome.
13. HANNIBAL AD PORTAS
Hannibal was a Carthaginian commander who waged a life-and-death war against the Roman Empire. In Russian the expression “ Hannibal ad portas" literally translated as "Hannibal at the gates", that is, "enemy at the gates". Among the Romans, the image of Hannibal subsequently became something of a scarecrow, and parents often told their naughty children the phrase “ Hannibal ad portas" to slightly scare them into behaving properly.
14. HIC MANEBIMUS OPTIME
When in 390 BC. e. The Gauls invaded Rome, and the Senate met to discuss whether to abandon the city and flee for safety. According to the Roman historian Livy, a centurion named Marcus Furius Camillus, addressing the Senate, exclaimed: “ Hic manebimus optime!”(literally translated “we’ll live wonderfully here”). His words soon began to be used figuratively to express an unshakable determination to stand his ground, despite all difficulties.
15. HOMO SUM HUMANI A ME NIHIL ALIENUM PUTO
“I am a man and I believe that nothing human is alien to me” - This is a phrase from the work of the Roman writer Terence. In Terence, this phrase has a certain ironic connotation: in a conversation between two neighbors, one reproaches the other for interfering in other people’s affairs and gossiping, to which the other objects: “I am a man, and nothing human is alien to me.” Since then, the phrase has practically become a motto and can be used, for example, to emphasize that the speaker, like everyone else, is not alien to human weaknesses and delusions. This phrase can also mean respect for people of other cultures.
16. IGNOTUM PER IGNOTIUS
An analogue of the phrase " Obscurum per obscurius"(the obscure by the more obscure - explain the unclear to the even more unclear). Phrase " Ignotum per ignotius"(the unknown by the more unknown - explain the unknown to even more unknown) refers to useless explanations that, instead of helping a person understand the meaning, confuse him even more.
17. IMPERIUM IN IMPERIO
Means « an empire within an empire » - “an empire within an empire”, “a state within a state”. In the literal sense, it can mean that a certain structure (state, city, etc.) is located on the territory of another, larger structure, but legally it is autonomous. Allegorically, this is an association of people living according to their own special laws, which differ from the generally accepted ones.
18. PANEM ET CIRCENSES
Translated into Russian as “bread and circuses.” It means a basic need (food) and one of the main desires of a person (entertainment). The Roman satirist Juvenal contrasted these aspirations with the heroic past:
This people has long forgotten all their worries, and Rome, which once gave out everything: legions, and power, and a bunch of lictors, is now restrained and restlessly dreams of only two things: Bread and circuses! Juvenal "Satires". Book four. Satire tenth. Translation by F. A. Petrovsky
19. VELOCIUS QUAM ASPARAGI COQUANTUR
When something had to happen quickly, the Romans said: “Faster than a bunch of asparagus can be boiled.” Some sources attribute this phrase to the Roman Emperor Augustus, but unfortunately there is no evidence that this is exactly the case.
20. VOX NIHILI
While the phrase " Vox populi" means "voice of the people", the phrase " Vox nihili" means "empty sound". This phrase can be used to indicate a meaningless statement.
