Question

That evening Squealer explained privately to the other animals that Napoleon had never in reality been opposed to the windmill. On the contrary, it was he who had advocated it in the beginning, and the plan which Snowball had drawn on the floor of the incubator shed had actually been stolen from among Napoleon's papers. The windmill was, in fact, Napoleon's own creation. Why, then, asked somebody, had he spoken so strongly against it? Here Squealer looked very sly. That, he said, was Comrade Napoleon's cunning. He had seemed to oppose the windmill, simply as a maneuver to get rid of Snowball, who was a dangerous character and a bad influence. Now that Snowball was out of the way, the plan could go forward without his interference. This, said Squealer, was something called tactics. He repeated a number of times, "Tactics, comrades, tactics!" skipping round and whisking his tail with a merry laugh. The animals were not certain what the word meant, but Squealer spoke so persuasively, and the three dogs who happened to be with him growled so threateningly, that they accepted his explanation without further questions. Which figure from Russian history does Napoleon most likely represent

Answer 1

Answer:

Stalin, who built a dictatorship under the guise of communism.

Explanation:

The character of Napoleon in George Orwell's science fictional novella "Animal Farm" can be historically represented or compared with that of Joseph Stalin. He was a Soviet politician who eventually became a revolutionary and made himself the de facto dictator of the Soviet Union.

Likewise, Napoleon may have acted as if he did not agree with the repair of the windmill but as Squealer said, he only did it to drive away Snowball. Once that was done, he employed the tactic of maintaining and forcibly gaining the authority over the animals, indirectly making himself the dictator of the Animal Farm. Just as Stalin became the dictatorial power over the people of the Soviet Union, Napoleon also gained his dictatorship through the guise of communism.
