Crown of three. The Cursed King by Rinehart J.D. The Kingdom of Thoronia is engulfed in civil war. King Brutan keeps a tight rein on his subjects, spreading cruelty and suffering around them. The only hope for the kingdom is children...

This expression means to treat someone harshly and strictly, without allowing any slack.

This phrase is involuntarily associated with the name of the People's Commissar of the NKVD, Nikolai Ivanovich Yezhov, who became famous for repressions in the 30s and for his personal harshness. In addition, the poster of Boris Efimovich Efimov only cemented this image in people’s minds.

The valiant People's Commissar holds in his prickly hands a three-headed hydra, personifying the enemies of the communist system. No wonder it was called: “Steel hedgehog gloves.” But that’s not the point, of course.

In Russian literature of the 19th century, this expression appears more than once in the works of A.P. Chekhov, A.S. Pushkin, I.S. Turgenev. Also, in the dictionary of the 18th century you can find the following proverb: “Tackle a soft body with iron fists.” The meaning of the proverb is close to modern and does not mean punishment. By this time we will turn our attention.

The fact is that peasants stored crop supplies and provisions in barns and basements of huts, where rodents often infested. To preserve their supplies, along with cats, they also used hedgehogs - excellent mouse hunters. But the hedgehog, after all, is not a domestic animal and must be brought into the room with supplies, which is not so easy to do, given its needle-like protection. For this purpose, they used special mittens - golits, made of thick leather, with which you could easily pick up the hedgehog without harming yourself and the animal.
