Why were the Bolsheviks able to seize power in Russia in 1917?

One of Orwell’s goals in writing Animal Farm was to portray the Russian (or Bolshevik) Revolution of 1917 as one that resulted in a government more oppressive‚ totalitarian‚ and deadly than the one it overthrew.

Old Major died before the revolution. The main leaders of the Animal Farm‚ Snowball and Napoleon‚ are each related to two of the main leaders of the Russian Revolution.
