Es handelt von einer Gruppe von Tieren auf einem Bauernhof, die sich gegen den tyrannischen Farmer Mr. Jones auflehnen und ihre eigene Gesellschaft gründen wollen. Die Themen, die in dem Dokument aufgegriffen werden, sind die Hintergründe des Autors, die Relevanz des Buches zur Geschichte der Sowjetunion und die Hauptcharaktere des Buches, die jeweils für Personen aus der sowjetischen Geschichte stehen. Die wesentlichen Themen in dem Buch sind die Gefahr des totalitären Regimes, die Selbstherrlichkeit der Macht und das Versagen von Revolutionen.
