"После драки кулаками не машут" Literal translation: after a fight do not wave with your fists.

This proverb means that it is senseless to show one's indignation about, or try to take measures concerning, a matter that has already been completed (when one tries to rectify a matter or situation when it is too late).

English analogue: «It is too late to lock the stable-door when the horse is stolen»
