What made him quit medical activity and start creating short topical sayings is unknown. On the work of Krutier, modern writers and satirists respond positively. Many of his aphorisms have a political connotation. Nevertheless, books by this author are even purchased by those who do not agree with his views.
Crutier paraphrased the famous statement of Louis XIV, in which the French king identified his own person with the state. He wittily altered quotes from famous Soviet paintings. For example, the hero’s phrase from Motyl’s picture, in which the customs officer expressed his painful thoughts about the state. In one of the aphorisms, Krutier, paraphrasing the words of this film character, asks the rhetorical question: "Are we sorry for the power or is it for us?"
He did not ignore even the Prince’s wise words from the book of Exupery, saying that it is bad not where we are not, but where we appear. And as for the political slogans that were part of the social life of Soviet people, then, perhaps, each of them, to some extent, was remade by Krutier to fit modern realities.
