Karp, Trokhimenko “ Stakin as an Organizer of The October Revolution” Virtual Museum of Political Art. Web.


Karp Trokhimenko’s fascinating art piece, “Stalin as an Organizer for the October Revolution,” gives a glimpse of history of a government rising to power, led by notorious Russian leader Joseph Stalin.

Orwell wanted to show readers how dangerous a government like the Soviet Union can be to its people.
