Question

Read the passage from Animal Farm.

Answer 1

Answer:

Russians faced many challenges and struggles working on collective farms.

Explanation:

The sentences above are from George Orwell's allegorical book "Animal Farm." The novella is a satire of the Soviet regime that arose following the Russian Revolution. The animals of Manor Land revolt against their human master and drive him off the farm. The most clever animals, the pigs, seize command of the situation, portraying the Soviet authorities, while the other animals, at first gladly, but eventually violently, obey the new commands, symbolizing the people. Orwell emphasizes the problems the animals have when farming in the passages. These problems pertain to the genuine hardships that Russians who worked on collective farms encountered. The Soviet leaders decided to seize rural estates from their owners and cultivate them collectively in order to produce and export grain. The goal was to raise funds through exports to invest in machinery and industrialization. Unfortunately, many property owners were opposed to such a program. When compelled to give up their holdings, they would destroy their equipment and slaughter their cattle. The absence of machinery, as well as horses and livestock, that resulted from such activities hampered farm labor tremendously.
