Orwell's main focus is a critique of communism and he builds it around a satirical look at the major events that helped to bring about a communist state in Russia and the growth of the Soviet Union.
He questions the communist outlook on religion, the communist record when it comes to civil and humanitarian rights, and one of the most dynamic issues is that of class and class conflict. The animals themselves represent various historical figures in the communist movement and the struggles they have also represent specific events within the history of communist Russia, the Soviet Union.
Throughout all of these issues Orwell also questioned the use of propaganda by a state to achieve its goals, the manipulation of truth and falsehood, etc.
