In George Orwell's Animal Farm, power and control of the farm passes from Mr. Jones to Snowball and from Snowball to Napoleon. Everyone, no matter how great their leadership, was corrupted by power in one way or another compared to the Russian leaders of the time. The most corrupt, Napoleon, uses several methods to obtain more power and luxury. Like Stalin, Napoleon uses a propaganda department to make himself look good. The person responsible for Napoleon's beauty and propaganda is Squealer. With a name like Squealer, he better be damn good at using his intelligence to benefit Napoleon and the pigs.

Napoleon's actions did not go unnoticed, however. Those who noticed him were intimidated by his guard dogs and silenced. In one situation, young pigs protested against Napoleon's leadership. "But suddenly the dogs sitting around Napoleon let out deep, menacing growls, and the pigs fell silent and sat down again..
