What are the differences between Joseph Stalin and Napoleon in Animal Farm by George Orwell?

, the
autocratic leader of , eventually changes the name of the farm back to Manor Farm.  Stalin, on
the other hand, maintained the name of the socialist republic.  Stalin continued to support
communist uprisings in Europe and Asia during the early Cold War, while Napoleon did not send
out the pigeons who were supposed to carry revolution to other farms.  Napoleon claimed that the
revolution was finished, while Stalin continued to keep the idea that there were always impure
elements in the state and society that should be purged.  Napoleon, while he did not encourage
the view of Sugar Candy Mountain (Animal Farm's heaven), did give Moses the Raven food.  Stalin,
on the other hand, persecuted people of all faiths and claimed that the Soviet Union was an
atheist republic.  Stalin purged his own generals in 1937-1938 while Napoleon only sawas his
chief rival and he even seemed to cultivate the other male pigs as followers, provided that they
knew they were below him.  While both leaders conducted mock trials and public executions,
Stalin killed far more people and even persecuted certain ethnic groups such as Chechens,
Tatars, and Ukrainians whom he viewed as a threat.
