Before the Russian Revolution, Tsar Nicholas II was the king of Russia. He was a dictator who had absolute power to the whole country, there were also food riots due to the shortage of food. In Animal Farm, when the Jones were in charge of the farm, they had absolute power to all the animals and properties of the farm; they didn't offer a good care to the animals, the animals often suffered starvation. After the Russian Revolution, Stalin and the Bolsheviks became the main body of the government, and the country fell into totalitarianism. Stalin jailed, deported, or even executed the people who opposed him. Napoleon executed the animals who opposed him too, such as the hens who refused to surrender their eggs during the food shortage. Later, Stalin moved into the Kremlin, and the pigs moved into the farmhouse. The greediness of Stalin and the pigs were shown in this action. The dictatorship of Stalin and the Bolsheviks, Napoleon and the pigs are shown above.
