Explanation:

In the context of Animal Farm as an allegory for the Russian Revolution, Old Major represents Karl Marx. His speech inspiring the animals is similar to Marx's ideas inspiring the revolutionaries. The new outlook given by Major's speech to the intelligent animals parallels how Marxist - Leninist ideology gave a new perspective to the Russian revolutionaries.
