"Now, comrades, what is the nature of this life of ours?" -Major p.6
(E) George Orwell didn't really keep it a secret that this story was intended to reflect Stalinist Russia and its ideals. Now, whenever we see/hear/read/watch anything that has to do with Russia the word "comrade" is always thrown in there somewhere. This word has been linked to Russia in our minds for so long that whenever it is used we can more than likely assume from what country the speaker originates from. By using this word Orwell is able to point out what his story is about in an obvious but also discrete way.
