"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

Good resources on USSR history? (lemmygrad.ml)

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)

Nice! Finding a view separate from the West may be difficult if you want English-language materials, unfortunately. But there are good English language historians skeptical of cold warrior narratives. I don't know why I didn't mention him originally, but you may find Domenico Losurdo very useful for this essay. His book(s) on Stalin will be super relevant as they juxtapose Western propaganda about him and the USSR during the period when Animal Farm was written versus firm historical realities.
