Answer and explanation:
"Animal Farm" is an allegorical novella by author George Orwell in which the Soviet regime in Russia is criticized. The animals in the story function as counterparts for the real agents behind the Russian Revolution and, later, responsible for governing the country. Snowball, one of the pigs who help take over the farm, is Trotsky's counterpart.
Just like Trotsky worked from a more intellectual perspective instead of being focused on power, Snowball is more concerned with teaching the other animals. He creates several groups and projects so that they can learn, for instance, how to read and write. Snowball does believe in the ideal of equality for all, and he works hard to come up with projects and plans that will help keep the animals independent.
In the excerpt we were given for analysis here, we can notice how Trotsky was concerned with bringing the revolution to the world. As he states, "this new Soviet Russia reaches its hands to an awakening Germany. And there will be, in the whole world, a United Soviet Republic of All Peoples!" In the same manner, Snowball believes the revolution should reach other farms and keep on expanding.
Another similarity between the real and the fictional characters is their leadership. Trotsky commanded Lenin's Red Army, while Snowball commands the "animal army" when they defend the farm against Jones' (the human owner) attempt to take it back.
