the banning
WHERE IT WAS BANNED AND WHY
USSR: banned until the 1980's for being anti-Communist and making derogatory image against the USSR
This is justifiable because the USSR didn't want its people see what the rest of the world thought about them.
USA: banned for the Communist text in the introduction.
This is justifiable because the American Government wanted its people to have faith in their allies.
Allied Forces: banned from 1943-1945 because it was critical of the USSR and was too controversial to print during war time.
Again, it was important the allied forces kept their faith in the USSR.
Kenya: Animal Farm, the play, was banned in Kenya in 1991 because it criticises corrupt leaders.
On the one hand it is not acceptable denying the Kenyan people knowledge of the USSR but it is justifiable in that the Kenyan government didn't want a rebellion.
United Arab Emirates: banned in 2002 in schools because it contained text or images that goes against Islamic values, most notably the occurrence of a talking pig.
This is justifiable because it is not the factual side that is being banned, it is the thought of talking pigs which goes against their religion.
The book is banned now in Cuba and North Korea - both Communist countries with dictators.
The people of these two countries have the right to know about the USSR but they do not want to reveal how the country is being run and to prevent risings against the Government
