In the Soviet Union it was banned because it drew very close parallels to the communist revolution (note the character of Napolean and the striking resemblences to Stalin.)

The book actually had to go to 4 publishing houses before it was accepted by Secking and Warburg in England on August 17, 1945, and then the introduction was banned.

It was also challenged numerous times, once by the John Birch Society in Wisconsin (1963). Several others not included.
This was mostly because it portrayed the USSR very badly, therfore the Allied forces thought that the text was considered to be too controversial to print during wartime.
