In his book 'Animal Farm,' George Orwell not only includes the Russian Revolution, but events that came after the Revolution as well. In the book, the revolt against the farmer stands for the Bolshevik revolution in October,1917. The rise in power of the pigs reflect Josef Stalin's rise to power in the Soviet Union after Lenin's death. When the pigs appropriate the apples and milk for their own use, it symbolized the destruction of the left wing in their revolt against the Bolsheviks in 1921.

That there are very fat people in the book and that nobody really wants to be there.
He generally represents the Czars of Russia, but mainly is representing Nicholas Csar (Tzar) II and the last of the old government. He was the cruel owner of the animals.
For a unique look at life in Russia during and after the revolution, read the recently translated book, Jack Vosmerkin - The American, only available at the following site: www.geocities.com/maxmakc
I just read the book in one day and at first I thought it would be really boring and I wouldn't understand it at all but from the first chapter I got hooked and spent the whole of my Saturday until I finished it sometime in the evening. It's really short and I would recommend it to everyone cuz it can pertain to many different subjects in terms of power and abuse.But to answer your question,I believe animal farm is a good book because it is an excellent allegory for the Russian Revolution.
the Russian revolution
Animal farm the book represents the Russian 1917 revolution. The animals represent russians. The farm represents Russia.
Joseph Stalin was the inspiration for the character of Napoleon in George Orwell's book Animal Farm. Napoleon represents Stalin's dictatorial leadership style and his betrayal of the original ideals of the Russian Revolution. The novel is a metaphor for the events leading up to the Russian Revolution and Stalin's rise to power.

It is a famous quote from Geoge Orwel's famous book Animal Farm, written on Russian revolution.
He talks about how the pigs (leaders) must always make new rules to trick the other animals (people).
Previous answer: No, there is not a sequel to animal farm. There is no need for one. This book is not only a story, it's a statement about the Russian Revolution. That's why no sequel is needed. My addendum: The above answer is incorrect on several points. First, though there are no sequels to Animal Farm by the original author, there are a couple sequels by other authors: Snowball's Chance by John Reed(which treats capitalism to similar critiques as fascism, socialism and communism in the original) and Anarchist Farm by Jane Doe(which does the same for anarchism). Secondly, so the book is a statement about the Russian Revolution; how does that mean no sequel is needed. Leaving aside the skill(or lack of) that the authors I listed above tackle their subject matter, the subject matters themself are worthy of the Animal Farm treatment, so they are needed. Saying that just because the book is an allegory for the Russian Revolution, no sequel is needed is like saying that nothing happened in the world since the Russian Revolution or that because a historian has documented the Russian Revolution, it's not necessary to document anything after that.
He wrote it because he wanted to make a political statement. The whole book is a statement about the Russian Revolution. It also is about the fact that equality is not possible.
Napoleon is a pig. to be exact he is the only boar on the farm throughout the book. he is to represent Stalin who becomes a dictator through the Russian Revolution.
