What Does The Soviet Union Represent In Animal Farm

Chapter Three Symbolism in Objects

3.1 Animal Farm
In this magnum opus, a textbook example of symbolism is the juxtaposition of Animal Farm and Soviet Union during the reign of Stalin, though Animal Farm is far more like a banana republic.
Animal Farm is what reminds readers of a form of country, which is a embodiment of a government, an economy and has diplomatic ties with other countries. Given this, Animal Farm represents a microcosm of a society, especially the one resembling Soviet Union.
The pigs, acting as the government of Animal Farm, enact diplomatic ties by sharing lavish dinners with farmers nearby to flatter them, while the rest of animals are excluded in the freezing cold and eat meager food supplies, toiling at backbreaking

Animal Farm ends on a sarcastic tone. Animal Farm reverts to the name of Manor Farm, and the pigs become indistinguishable from their human guests, which highlights the biting satire on Soviet Union’s politics:

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which. (Orwell

Yet this opinion does augur well for the windmill. The windmill is destroyed and Napoleon, the pig who takes over the farm in the wake of Snowball’s expulsion, blames Snowball for obliterating the windmill. He brings animals around to the idea of rebuilding it, and at the end of the story, the windmill is manipulated for commercial activities, without a bit of benefit for subject peoples, the rest of animals.
The windmill and the way the pigs manipulate its image and purpose, symbolizes the manipulation of the public by the government. The windmill is first presented as something wonderful and helpful but, at the end of the book, is transformed into something for the good of the farm. The work of the animals is ultimately exploited by Napoleon and the other pigs to bring them personal gain and profit. The animals see none of this profit, much as the projects undertaken in Soviet Russia to modernize the country foundered on lack of wisdom.
