Research: Animal farm contemplations

Having read the book now, I wish to concentrate on the stalin angle. Basically, for the uninitiated, Orwell wrote the book about the Russian revolution, the rise of communism, but framed the story within a farmyard setting, lacking any direct mentions to the events. This was done to avoid any repercussions from the Russians. This is something that is well known by fans of the book, but not necessarily well known by the general public, a fact I would like to bring to the lime lite, whilst also working with the themes of the book. It would be easy to just make a communist poster (already done by Shepard fairey) or slap a drawing of stalin on the cover, but I would like it to be more than that.
