Explanation:

George Orwell's  Animal Farm  is an allegory for the Russian Revolution. The characters and events that occur in the story are representations of actual people and events of the Russian Revolution. The important characters in Animal Farm are Old Major, Napoleon, Snowball, Squealer, and Boxer. They are also representations of important players in the Russian Revolution. For example, Old Major the founder of Animalism is a representation of the creator of communism, Karl Marx. Just like Animalism, the good-intentioned communism goes off the rails when Stalin snatches power. In the story, the equivalent is Napoleon, who takes power away from Snowball (the equivalent of Leon Trotsky. With no disagreements of chances to debate, Napoleon becomes a dictator just like Stalin. Also, just like in Russia, the working class represented especially by Boxer, but by all the animals except the pigs, has unfailing loyalty. Just like in Animal Farm, this proves disastrous. The betrayal of Boxer is representative of when the Soviet government betrayed even their most loyal followers. Squealer is representative of Russian propaganda. He spreads all kinds of lies and half-truths to keep the animals satisfied. When Boxer is sent to the knacker to be made into glue and meat, Squealer says that he was in fact sent to the hospital to receive the best care and that the van had been recently bought from the knacker, which is why the van had read, "Horse Slaughterer." Squealer lies so that the animals who loved Boxer would not try to buck the government. The Soviet government often did the same thing when well-known people were executed. They made up false excuses so that the people that liked whoever had been killed wouldn't get mad at the government.
