Russia didn't have any abundant natural resources except for things such as water, ice, stones, and trees. They had to get their resources from others by trading! This showed how the neighboring farms represent other countries who are willing to help Russia such as France, Serbia, Yugoslavia. This farm is trying to 'industialize' more and more by the day because they need faster productions. The farms are interacting with one another so they can also be effected by Napoleon's way of ruling. I think that this actions represents how the communism is spreading by contact, and the monarchs (people) might try to stop it later in the chapters.

Joshua, doesn't seem like Gorbachev's policy of Glasnot, trying to industrialize in the final era of the Soviet Union? hahahahhahahahhahahahah Andy's lectures
