George Orwell was born in 1903.
He was a renowned writer, publicist.
More commonly known as an author of a cult novel «Nineteen Eighty-Four» and «Animal Farm».
He also coined the term «Cold War».
«Animal Farm» is one of my favorite books.
I found this book extremely amusing and accurate.
Clearly, George Orwell was against antidemocratic regimes and fought against it for all he was worth.
The author studied the history of The Soviet Union and depicted it brilliantly.
I mean all significant events.
For instance: the original plan was to make animals equal, the animals fought over this idea, they shed a lot of blood in the battle.
The animals evicted humans from the farm and it was supposed to be the beginning of happy life.
Although their masters fled from the farm, nothing changed in their life, nothing at all.
The Pigs are obvious references to Soviet government, yes, of course, they are animals too, but they seized the power and depressed the rest animals as humans used to do.
The initial purpose was to make animals equal, but then pigs living conditions differed utterly from living conditions the rest builders of the bright future.
The pigs didn’t work at all, ate delicious food and fed their subordinates with promises day after day.
Then pig-Trotsky was exiled from the farm.
All his achievements were removed from animal consciousness, moreover, he turned a traitor.
Afterwards, it was easy enough to justify all failures with the interference of the outcast pig.
Just like it was in Soviet Russia
