Similarly, when we look back to the contemporary world, Russia is the perfect illustration of Orwell’s prediction. In Russia, the government use censorship for political purpose, and the censorship they implanted in hindered the development of critical thinking. The citizen in Russia heavily rely on oral communication, and hey failed to develop a literate mentality. Robert V Deniels is the author of “How Putin Sees the World”. He describes that “With television and the electoral machinery under their control, they can simply drown out the opposition and marginalize it” (Deniels 1). Due to the lack of literacy development, people will rely on radio and television. Not to mention, the television and radio discourage people to read and write.
