Has Orwell's Animal Farm influenced how we perceive Russia, the ideological visionaries & events of the time? How biased is said book? How true is Orwell's interpretation of communism & it's branch off into Stalinism? What is Old Major's ideas reminiscent of? Thank you :)
I actually read the book not too long ago and I can answer your last question. Old Major represents Karl Marx and how (in Orwell's mind) his communistic ideas are corrupted by the power-hugry (Napoleon - Stalin, Snowball - Trotsky/Lenin).
