In Animal Farm by George Orwell, what aspect of the Russian Revolution does the Battle of Cowshed represent?

The Battle of the
Cowshed in represents the infighting during the Russian Civil War of
1917-1922. During this time, the Bolsheviks (the Red Army) battled the Whites, who were
anti-communist. Some of the forces in the Whites were in support of the tsar, while some were
capitalist. 

In the Battle of the Cowshed, Mr. Jones, the former farmer,
tries to retake the farm. He symbolizes the former Russian tsar, Nicholas II, who was forced to
abdicate. Jones is annoyed at having had his farm taken away from him, and he spreads fear among
the neighboring farmers about the threat the animals pose to the order of the countryside. This
type of fear is similar to the fear that anti-communist Russians had of the Bolsheviks, and it
explains why they fought in the Russian Civil War. The animals' victory, spearheaded by , is
similar to the victory of the Bolsheviks in the Russian Civil War, when they defeated the
Whites. The animals later create traditions to commemorate the battle, much as the Bolsheviks
commemorated their victory over the Whites.
