Russian Secret Police
From 1954 to its downfall in 1991, the Russian Police, or KGB was both an intelligence agency and a primary source security agency. Working for the Soviet Union it was later named the "secret police." George Orwell used the facts and force of this agency to tie it into a book he wrote known as ,Animal Farm, In this book Orwell portrays many people and events that happened in history around this time and put it into the perspective of animals. Using the KGB as a force of dogs in his book, Orwell orders the dogs to control and force the other animals to give into the leader.
Operating more independently than any other agency under the Soviet Union, the KGB was divided into many different operations, with "over 500,000 …show more content…
In the beginning of this book the animals are seeking a rebellion, but when things don't quite go as planned. One of the leaders (a pig which symbolizes Stalin), uses a mean force of k9’s to gain control over his followers. Just as Stalin used the KGB to take control back of …show more content…
The animals in Animal Farm were manipulated and controlled by dogs. "When they had finished their confession, the dogs promptly tore their throats out, and in a terrible voice Napoleon demanded whether any other animal had anything to confess" (Orwell 51). The way Orwell portrays the dogs mutilating the animals on the farm is equal to the killings the KGB had committed to keep Stalin in high power, just as the dogs kept their leader, Napoleon, in charge of their doings.
Consequently, it seems Orwell portrayed the KGB very well in my opinion in his book, Animal Farm, showing how they were used to carry out plans for Stalin, looking mean and intimidating. "Though not yet full-grown, they were huge dogs, and fierce-looking as wolves" (Orwell 33). Just as the secret police stood close to Stalin to portray power and leadership amongst the people at that time.
Moreover, the way the secret police have changed over the years and the influence they still have is significant. The representation Orwell contributes into his book, Animal Farm, is one way they have been used to show power and control throughout history. This gives us just a glimps of power Stalin really had over the men and women who he rose to conquer. Which leaves us to wonder would Stalin have every took over without the assistance of this mean force or would things have been Different for him if he was to take power on his own?
