Mr. Jones from AF • Mistreats his animals, beats them, and is a bad ruler to them • Cruel and mean, leaves his animals to starve • Has a kinder side, puts milk in their food
Czar Nicholas II • Poor leader and was never taught to rule • Cruel and brutal to his political opponents • Somewhat kind, as he hired starving students as spies, essentially giving them money.
Snowball from AF • Smart, good speaker, good with people • Wants a better future for his comrades • The natural leader of the Revolution • Chased into exile by opponents forces (Napoleon’s dogs)
Leon Trotsky • A leader of the October Revolution • Pure Communist, followed Marx • Wants to improve life for all in Russia • Chased away by Lenin’s KGB (secret police)
Old Major from AF • Created Animalism • Dies before the Revolution takes place • Created an idea, and inspired the Revolution
Karl Marx • Created Communism • Dies before the Revolution starts • His idea started part of the Russian Revolution
Animalism from AF • No social classes; no rich and no poor • Workers have a better life • All animals are equal • Animals have full control on the farm • Animals will no longer work for humans, and all animals will be equal.
Communism • No social classes; no rich and no poor • Workers get a better life • All people are equal • People own the government. • Workers will no longer work for capitalists.

Joseph Stalin • Not educated, bad speaker, unlike Trotsky • Cares only for power, killed opponents • Used KGB (secret police)
The Dogs from AF • An army that used fear to force animals to work • Killed or intimidated any opponent of Napoleon • Essential tool of Napoleon’s strategy to control animals
