Stalin's evils
George Orwell's animal farm depicts the evils in Stalin's soviet union in many different
ways one way is the way they were treated like garbage and didn't have the same rights. Another
way is how the food was rationed. Stalin slowly took rights away the same way the pigs did
Stalin also tortured and falsely accused people of crimes they did not do. Most of Stalin's
arrests happened at night time. According to andria vyshky he referred to them as garbage. They
rounded up innocent people and hauled them off to jail were tried in secret for crimes many of
them didn't commit. The secret police rounded up over 100 conspirators and executed them.
Thousands more were accused of being part of terrorist centers they were shot or imprisoned
Stalin then turned on the states security forces over 3000 were shot and killed according
to Stalin's purges and show trials most were tried and executed in secret most of stalins arrests
happened in the dead of night after that individuals found themselves in detention centers for
days and weeks on end without food or water and without charges.
Stalin often did not arrest you for what you have done but for more for whom you are and
what they did for work. Many in the mass had to invent crimes so they could confess to
something few of the hundred and thousands of people arrested ever had seen a courtroom most
of them were tried and were not even there to attend the hearing to defend themselves
Stalin conducted 3 show trials Stalin wanted to convince the press they were being
treated fairly also these scripted trials were intended to discredit the old generation of
communists who still posed a threat to him. The chief prosecutor went on to demand the accused
be shot like dogs the judge found all the defendants guilty on all charges all were subsequently
charged. Millions more died in prison camps or gulags as they call them all across Siberia.
So as you can see stalins soviet union is evil and animal farm depicts that perfectly with
how the animals deal with slowly losing their rights and dealing with the struggles of life without
joans they also have to experience the same thing at the soviet union just in a different way.
