Also, the barley, that was used to make beer from, was only shared among the pigs with Napoleon getting half a gallon daily and the rest of the pigs getting a pint of beer daily.

The secret police strictly enforce Stalinism and people are encouraged to inform on one another. Three million people are accused of opposing Communism and sent to the gulag, a system of labour camps in Siberia.” Stalin was able to force three million people into camps because of Stalin’s secret police. The two analysis proved that Napoleon and Joseph Stalin both turned Animal Farm and Russia into
