George Orwell was the first to lose his illusions about the mission of the Soviet state. "Animal Farm is an allegory about the 1917 revolution and subsequent events in the USSR before the rise of Stalinism. In the preface to the first Ukrainian edition (1947), Orwell noted that it was very important for him that people in the West see the Soviet regime for what it is . But, having seized power, the leaders of the uprising immediately forgot about the declared rules of a future happy life. The allegorical form depicts the rebirth of revolutionary principles and programmes, the gradual transition from utopian ideas of universal equality to dictatorship and totalitarianism.
