9. Summary Russia is having a tough time with their geography. With all the open plains, countries can invade with ease. As if that isn’t enough, they also have trouble with access to warm-water ports. Since they are de facto landlocked, with most of the water north of them frozen year-round, trading isn’t as easy as it is with the United States. If they have no warm-water ports, then trading would be a disaster and the economy would eventually fail. Although they do have a few warm-water ports, their largest port on the Pacific Ocean, Vladivostok, is dominated by the Japanese, preventing the Russian fleet from operating as a global-power. While the geography may be inviting for invaders, its vastness is also an advantage. By the time an invader, …show more content…
They had recently overthrown the humans that owned the original Manor Farm, so they had to find a way to sustain the now called Animal Farm. This same concept happens in Russia because of their lack of warm-water ports. If Russia didn’t have an alliance with Japan, they wouldn’t have the warm-water ports. This relates because if Napoleon didn’t make an alliance with the other farms, they would have no money or resources. Alliances are a necessity when it comes to economic decisions because without them, a country may not have the resources needed to sustain a country. If Animal Farm didn’t have an alliance, they would have never been able to survive without any humans and if Russia didn’t have an alliance with Japan, they wouldn’t have the largest warm-water port on the Pacific …show more content…

At this point, Napoleon is now understanding the hard work that goes into running a farm. Napoleon decides to conversate with humans that can buy the needed supplies from the town stores. When the animals heard about the newly made agreement, they were stunned. Animals that have any relations with humans were seen as a traitor. Napoleon then
Napoleon, the leader of all the animals of the Rebellion, can be compared and contrasted with Big Brother, the leader of all the people of 1984. Both Big Brother and Napoleon show the qualities of a cruel ruler. Similar to Big Brother, Napoleon is a secretive plotter who works behind the scenes rather than openly. However, unlike Napoleon, Big Brother periodically appears on the television screen. Napoleon and Big Brother both work continually to weaken their rivals, whether it is by removing Snowball or eliminate Rutherford. Both place importance on complicated ceremonies and parades to prevent their workers from thinking about their schemes. Napoleon’s control over animal farm is not as powerful as Big Brother's
One country is comparable to the United States of America in terms of world power and prominence. Russia makes their name known beginning in World War 2 (WW2), later in the Korean War, Cold War, and today’s proxy war in the Syria. Russia’s culture, environment, politics, military, and economy do not just make Russia a regional powerhouse, but slowly becoming a region of influential power to surrounding countries with the end state of a global superpower. All the factors that make Russia the powerhouse that it is slowly becoming, highlights the impressive trend that supersedes the previous Soviet Union and past leaders.
One dark, misty night on Manor farm, the pigs were partying. They partied in the Jones house with Mr. Pilkington Napolean didn’t let any other animals into the house besides the pigs were so fat they couldn’t stand on two feet, they had to crawl. On the other hand the other animals were locked up in the barn and very mistreated; they were only fed leftover whiskey, milk, and apples.
Stalin told his people that the plan would fix the failing economy of the USSR. He put together enormous, collective farms with the idea of increasing the food supply and stabilize a self-sufficient economy, but the opposite effect haunted Soviet Russia. Napoleon creates the Windmill to “better the lives of the animals.” He believes that the creation of this windmill will increase their food supply and lessen their workload, however, the animals end up working harder with less to show for it. The leaders created these plans for the benefit of the people, but the citizens suffered under the hand of these leaders. These plans failed. Napoleon sells wood to Frederick to pay for the farm’s expenses, which represents Nazi-Soviet Relations. Napoleon receives the money for this wood he sells, but Frederick really gives him forged bonds. This means Napoleon gave the wood away for free, and he becomes livid about this. After he forges the bonds, Frederick tries to invade and overtake Animal Farm. This greatly resembles the pact between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, where both countries agreed to divide Eastern Europe amongst themselves. Hitler broke the pact and attempted to invade Russia through land they had previously divided, but this invasion failed. Both the Nazis and Frederick betrayed the lands they formerly created an alliance with. They gained the other lands’ trust
Lets start out with the good things that Russia’s economy has. Russia has an more than enough natural resources. They have plenty of timber, precious metals, oil, gas, and coal. Those resources being exported could easily benefit their economy if it wasn’t for other countries who produce more of the resources taking their potential
The foreign policies of Russia also compliments in many ways its domestic policies, both in the apparent want for dominance and security in the focal point on sovereignty. These aims lead to an importance on bringing back Russia’s international status and removing positions of power that Western states have had in Russia

In Russia a czar has the same the power as an Emperor of the U.K. In Russia there has had many different types of czars.There were good czars and also many, many bad czars, but by far the most interesting is Ivan The Terrible.
Squealer is a animal on the farm that gives out false information so the pigs can get what they want. Squealer represents the Russian Propaganda. The Russian Propaganda would tell Russian civilians to join together to make one big group and revolt against their leader. This group mostly consisted of workers. The workers would rebel due to long and laborious working hours, and low wages.This is similar to Animal Farm because the animals all joined forces to rebel against Mr. Jones, and then the animals built up their own government and ruled themselves.
Russia has a great history with many different kinds of rulers, some good as well as bad. All of Russia’s leaders have had an impact on Russia today for the better or for the worse. The people who ruled Russia during wartime have had a great effect on its economy in addition to the conditions of its citizens.
The novel Animal Farm begins with Mr Jones, who is always drunk. Most of the time Mr Jones is drunk since his first priority is alcohol. In the beginning of chapter 1, it all begins with Mr Jones forgetting to close the hens cage and to feed the animals on Manor Farm. Old major had an idea to meet at the barn and discuss their plan on rebelling the Manor Farm for equality and wrote down the 7 commandments of animalism; “Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy, Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend, No animal shall wear clothes, No animal shall sleep in a bed, No animal shall drink alcohol, No animal shall kill any other animal, All animals are equal.”
This phenomenon is not unique to Russia or Animal Farm: it happens throughout the world. Governments have done similar things to improve their standing by blaming an invisible enemy. The purges and show trials with which Stalin eliminated his enemies and cemented his power mirrors the false confessions and executions of animals that Napoleon distrusts after the windmill collapse. Stalin’s tyrannical rule and abandonment of the founding principles of the Russian Revolution are represented by Napoleon’s turn to violent government and the adoption of human traits and behaviours.

The Russia of today is not that of the past; Russia throughout history has encountered countless changes in regards to the type of governmental powers they have possessed. Previously, Russia was known as the Russian Empire, being categorized as an unlimited government in which leaders have all the power. “Alexander the Terrible” is considered the original Czar—emperor of Russia; the ruling of Czars ended during the Russian Revolution which followed with the interaction in World War I. Thus, leading to the exoneration of Nicholas II in 1917. Following the involvement of World War I, what was known as the Russian Empire evolved into the Bolshevik party which finally became the Soviet Union. Vladimir Lenin was the leader of this transition
