I don’t have a copy of the book, and I have not read Animal Farm in quite some time, but here are a few resources that can help you with your work.

im reading the book at the moment with my world studies. i wouldnt use those examples, try using the lenin and Stalin example.
like how they ruled and such.
Orwell wasn’t writing about the Tsar, he was specifically writing about Stalin. The point he was trying to make is how revolutions designed to produce equality end up producing dictatorships that foster inequality.
Orwell is describing Lenin and Stalin in the characters of the pig leaders Napolean and Snowball- they all start with good intentions of equality, but end up becoming the leaders they originally despised and wanted to depose
Czar is a Russian contraction of "Caesar" which is also the root of the German title "Kaiser."
As for "Animal Farm," the characters represent the Bolsheviks: Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky, et al. Orwell, an admirer of communism, cheered over the promise of the Russian revolution, but despaired at how the Communists leaders were soon living like, and acting like the Czar and his court.
That’s what the "sleeping in the bed" was all about. The Reds (Communists) always cursed the royal families for living in palaces, and Russia still has some breath-taking palaces. Once the Bolsheviks moved into the palaces to live, then it was hard to tell them from the Czarists.
What’s that line from the end? "Pretty soon the pigs looked just like people, and the people looked just like pigs."
no, it’s an anology to Stalin-Trotsky.
Stalin is Napoleon and Trotsky is Snowball
farmer jones was tsar nicolas
old major was mark and lenin
napoleon was stalin
snowball was trotsky
squealer was propaganda
kind of hard to write about the revolution without talking about the tsar really
You can write about how the people the animals overthrew were like the Tsar and the royal family. That is the parallel.
