Intertwined of two worlds
The cool nights in Russia were sometimes suspicious, with people talking about things that happened in the day. All knowing that the rest of their life would be a life of poverty. Mr. Jones is modeled on Tsar Nicholas II the last Russian emperor and was one of the worst if not the worst. During his reign, the Russian people experienced terrible poverty that he was creating and realized they needed to do something or their community and friends would fail. When Russia entered World War I the outraged people began strikes against the czars.

But they didn't think it would have come so easily. But when it did come, the revolution was won by the animals. As the animals started their own environment they had the thought to have a flag to represent that the animals were now in power. So, the flag of Animal Farm had a horn and hoof to symbolize that they are only friends with animals and animals only. One of Lenin's allies was Leon Trotsky. His representation in Animal Farm is Snowball. Snowball's ideas for the windmill reflect Trotsky's intellectual character. Napoleon's "body guards" or the dogs are like Stalin's secret police that helped Stalin become feared by killing others in his name. His plan to build the windmill reflects Stalin's Five-year Plan for starting an industry and agricultural country. This was one of the good things he had in his mined but was to evil to put any good in to effect. Numerous events in the book Animal Farm are ones that actually occurred during Stalin's reign. The Battle of the Cowshed explaines the Civil War that was placed after the 1917 Revolution. Jones or Fredrick

Czar Nicholas II and Mr.Jones both struggled with their subjects and eventually were not fit to be a leader anymore so lost the right.
Animal Farm is an allegory for the Russian Revolution. The concept of ‘Animalism’ that had come to “Old Major” (pg. 1) in a dream is representative of Marx and Communism. Napoleon is much like Joseph Stalin. Each animal or type of animal represents a person from the events of the revolution. “All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others” (pg. 97), Communism is all about how everyone is equal, much like Animalism, however in both cases certain people have come out on top and made life a living hell for everyone of lower classes. Both concepts started out as utopic ideas but turned into dystopic realities for both the animals and humans. There is quite a distinct connection between the events of Stalinist Russia and during the book of Animal
The downfall of Tsar Nicholas II was hurried by the First World War, as although it wasn’t the only factor in his downfall it did tarnish his name causing the Russian people to lose hope for their Emperor and Autocrat. Leading up to the First World War there were many issues that the Tsar had not dealt with, military, political, economic and food, which with a strong leader they would have endured during the war, but as his name became tarnished so did the peoples ideals of him. This essay will show that without the First World War the Tsar Nicholas II would still have been able to rule with a country that would have supported him, or at least seriously delayed the revolution.
The allegorical figure of Stalin in Animal Farm is Napoleon the pig. Joseph Stalin was the second political leader of the Soviet Union who led a communist government called Stalinism. One example of Napoleon’s communism is when he takes nine puppies away from their parents and raises them himself without telling anyone the reason
Have you ever heard about the Russian Revolution and other important events of Russia? George Orwell, amazing author, published a novel in 1947, called Animal Farm, that intelligently satirized animals in a farm to the events that occurred during the Russian Revolution and the events surrounding the Russian Revolution. Through the character Napoleon and his use of terror and propaganda on the citizens of the Animal Farm, George Orwell castigates mad dictator Joseph Stalin and his reign on Russia.
In this lesson we explore the life and reign of one of Russia’s most reactionary monarchs of all time, Nikolai I, who had to quell a rebellion immediately upon his accession in 1825.
Tsar Nicholas ii and Mr. Jones are both seen as enemies. Nicholas was Russia’s last king, his people overthrew him because of his bad leadership. "The corruption and incompetence of Nicholas' reign had shattered Russia's faith in the autocracy. Riots broke out in Petrograd, [....] a provisional government was established and the rule of the Romanov dynasty
Russia's overthrows and shortage caused revolutionary upheaval and massive inflation, which led to deprived infrastructure. During World War I, Russian society naturally caused great dissatisfaction among the serfs. As the revolution wore on, numerous reform and Tsar Nicholas II, a ruler, tried to change Russia's social structure and government. Among the masses, there was discontentment with Russia's social system and living conditions. Laborers worked and lived in horrendous conditions, which played a crucial role in aggravating the condition of workers and peasants. As a result, peasants starved and Russia’s armies were overpowered on the battlefield because much of its terrain was occupied by enemies. Hence, Imperial Russia was a
In the novel, Animal Farm, George Orwell portrays Snowball as a more imaginative and inventive character. Napoleon was a poor leader and he didn't treat the animals on the farm fairly. Before Napoleon chased Snowball off the farm, Snowball co-operates with Napoleon and Squealer to organize Old Majors ideas into the principles of Animalism, and to reduce these to the Seven Commandments. It is Snowball who organizes the various Animal Committees and the classes in reading and writing, therefore showing interest in the other animals. Snowball also anticipates the first attack on Animal Farm and, having studied up on strategy. Snowball would have been a better leader than Napoleon and would have improved the lives of the animals on Animal Farm.
In conclusion to the fall of the Romanov dynasty, it is shown that Nicholas had the biggest impact of Russia becoming a communist country as he did not have a greater understanding on the way to run his country, he also didn’t take full responsibility for his people and the soldiers in WW1,
There are several themes in Animal Farm, some including: Leadership and corruption, control of naïve working class, lies and deception, and dreams and hopes. The main themes in Animal Farm leadership and corruption. Animal Farm portrays the history of the Russian Revolution by retelling the development of communism. In the novel, by overthrowing Mr. Jones, the animals give the power to the pigs who take complete control of the farm. The struggle for superiority between Leon Trotsky, a Russian revolutionary, and Stalin, a Soviet statesman, is portrayed by the rivalry between the pigs, Napoleon and Snowball. In both cases, the less powerful one, Trotsky and Snowball, is eliminated by the more superior one, Stalin and Napoleon. Stalin's rule
Mr. Jones is modeled on Tsar Nicholas II, the last Russian emperor. His rule was marked by his insistence that he was the uncontested ruler of the nation. “During his reign, the Russian people experienced terrible poverty and upheaval, marked by the Bloody Sunday
One of the major significant symbols in Animal Farm is the windmill. Orwell writes, “The animals were somewhat surprised to hear Napoleon announce the windmill was to be built after all... he merely warned this extra task would mean very hard work; it might even be necessary to reduce their rations” (Orwell #). The quote above proves that the windmill represents government manipulating their people. Within the government at Animal Farm the pig Napoleon was the leader and he had all the animals work on the windmill while he sat back and gave orders. Most of the animals were working very hard and were getting less food due to the time spent on the windmill. Furthermore, while everyone else was getting less food, barely enough to keep them going, he was manipulating them. He convinced them he needed food because he used his brain to keep them all alive. Additionally, this clarifies that the windmill represents how government manipulates their people because Napoleon was head of the government and basically the whole government. This means he was the mastermind and manipulated everyone into benefitting him in someway. In the end, Napoleon is the government who manipulates their people in the Russian Revolution.
