The Animal Farm by George Orwell 1945 was based on the events in Russia around the time of Stalin’s ruling. There are several ways in which Animal Farm is based off Russia’s period under Stalin’s rule are similar, therefore satirizing the events in the period. To begin with there were resemblance in the motivation for the revolution/ rebellion. Furthermore an obvious common outcome of the uprisings was caused by dictators with alike priorities and ethics. To continue the two rulers had a relatable approach to frighten and abolish questioning to the current leadership. Finally, the situations both concluded with similar events.

Animal Farm reformed the purge trials with Napoleon 's mass executions of people who he considers a threat to his control of Animal Farm. Stalin originally achieved this with the purge trials and his evil ethics with the idea that “A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic” (Stalin). Stalin forced people to confess falsely and publicly to crimes that they never committed, often after psychological torment and outright torture, then executed them and any of their followers. Animal Farm recreates similar trials. Squealer pronounces to the other animals that Snowball isn 't just working against them from outside the farm, but that he 's sneaking back to destroy them from within (Orwell, 1945, pg 47). Not long afterwards four pigs who had previously protested at the end to the sunday morning meetings were called upon to confess their ‘crimes’ (Orwell, 1945, pg 49-50).

This recreated the meeting that occurred between U.S, U.K, and Soviet leaders. The meeting included U.K and U.S agreeing to let Stalin have his way with Poland in exchange for military support in World War II. Despite both situations ending in constructive meetings the Animal Farm did not conclude during a World War period.
