"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

So, I’m in high school and I’ve got to make a simple essay contextualizing on the USSR for our reading of “Animal Farm” by Orwell. Are there any good articles, sites, etc. which I can use? (I apologize if this has been asked before or if there’s a megathread or something)

An quick glimpse into early Soviet history can come from John Reed's 10 days that shook the world and China Miéville's October: The Story of the Russian Revolution.

If you want more quick stuff, I've spent the past 5 years hoofing and hollering about Stalin and the early Soviet union on hexbear so you can pick and choose what you need from my user history. It's filled with quotes with book sources, articles, etc.

If you need anything more specific feel free to ask and I can look around

Oh, thanks, I appreciate your offer, but with what you and everyone else recommended I think you won’t need to look around for stuff. Once again, thanks a bunch!
