In George Orwell's "Animal Farm," Squealer, the pig who serves as Napoleon's propagandist, can be compared to Pravda, the official newspaper of the Communist Party in the Soviet Union. Both Squealer and Pravda are used to spread propaganda and manipulate information to control the thoughts and beliefs of the animals/people. They both distort the truth to maintain power and control over the population. The comparison highlights the theme of manipulation and the dangers of propaganda in totalitarian regimes.
Squealer is propaganda, but specifically, Pravda
Squealer the pig
Squealer represents the propaganda newspaper Pravda rather than a person the way the other pigs in the novel do. The statement that Squealer can turn black into white was intended to refer to Pravda's ability to turn lies into truth. Squealer also carries the messages from Napoleon to the other pigs who simply take what Squealer says for gospel. In other words, Squealer is a method of communication from the top to the bottom with the ability to put the proper spin on the information. That was Pravda.
The Pravda was a leading newspaper of the Soviet Union and an offical organ of the Cantral Committee of the Communist Party between 1912 to 1991.
