There is no doubt that the Bolshevik Revolution was in many ways influenced by World War I. Ronald Suny gives many examples of this in his book The Soviet Experiment: Russia, the USSR, and the Successor State. Even so, Suny takes the stance that the war ultimately was responsible for hindering the Revolution because of the various events that it brought about in its path. At the start of their reign, Bolshevik’s used their power to hinder and overwhelm their rivals. Eventually they began to…

As a result they were able to do whatever necessary to take power. Poe describes this…

The pigs were the communist idealist, some of them being representatative of ones present in Soviet Russia, and they had a plan to overthrow the farmer, Mr. Jones, who is like the old tzars of Russia. The farm goes from a…
