Many of the characters and events of Orwell's novel are parallel those of the Russian Revolution: In short, Manor Farm is a model of Russia, and old Major, Snowball, and Napoleon represent the dominant figures of the Russian Revolution.

One of Orwell's goals in writing Animal Farm was to illustrate the Russian Revolution of 1917 as one that resulted in a government more oppressive, totalitarian, and deadly.
Animal Farm is an allegory of the period in Russian history between 1917 and 1944. It is a satirical story written in the form of an animal fable. In writing Animal Farm as a fable, George Orwell is able to present his subject in simple symbolic terms by treating the development of communism as a story that is taking place on a single farm with talking animals. The characters of Animal Farm represent figures in Russian history during the Russian Revolution. Places, objects, and events of the Russian Revolution are also symbolized in Animal Farm.
In the novel Animal Farm by George Orwell, the Russian revolution is compared to farm animals who experience the same tyrant that the citizens of Russia did. Pigs, who represent politicians, take control of a farm that has just been overthrown their farmer. Under the pigs rule, the Farm failed to prosper. The animals failed to keep a good reputation with the neighboring farmers. Animal Farm has a strong comparison to Soviet Russia under the rule of Stalin. Animal Farm characters experience the same conditions as citizens of Soviet Russia. Similarities between Animal Farm and Soviet Russia have many similarities including a purge, their views on government, and their secret police.
In this novel, the author has correlated the Russian revolution, where animals represent the significant personage and act as the leaders in the Russian Community. Animals are used to exhibit the operation of the communist class system and how the citizens (people) respond to this and the denouement of the leadership by early Russian leaders such as Stalin on the behavior of the people of Russia. For exemplification, the Old Major makes the speech to other animals about the idea of revolution.
