In Animal Farm, what does the struggle for power between Snowball and Napoleon represent historically?

From a historical
perspective, the power struggle betweenandrepresents the relationship between Leon
Trotsky and Joseph Stalin. Just as Snowball and Napoleon overthrew Mr Jones,
Trotsky and Stalin both took part in the Russian Revolution of 1917 in which they overthrew Tsar
Nicholas II. In the years following the rebellion, however, the differences between the two men
started to emerge.

Just like Snowball, Trotsky was an idealist who believed
that Communism (represented here by the windmill) could really improve the quality of life for
everyone. Stalin, represented by Napoleon, was less concerned with such ideals and was instead
focused on the selfish pursuit of power. The tension between the two men came to a head in 1928
when Stalin banished Trotsky from the USSR and this event is portrayed byin Chapter Five, when
Napoleon runs Snowball off the farm. In fact, Napoleon's pack of guard dogs represent the KGB,
Stalin's secret police.
