To what political figure in Russian history does Jones correspond?

Mr. Jones corresponds to that last czar of Russia, Nicholas II. While he was not an alcoholic like Mr. Jones, the czar mismanaged his country the same way Mr. Jones mismanages the farm.
Hunger drives the animals to rebel after Mr. Jones gets drunk and fails to feed them. A similar situation arose in Russia in 1917. Due to the czar's complete mismanagement of the country's role in World War I, people were going hungry, which became an unbearable situation there, just as it does for Mr. Jones's animals.
As in Czar Nicholas's case in Russia, the mismanagement on Mr. Jones's farm did not happen overnight. The animals, like the poorer people living in Russia, had been abused for a long time. Both the animals and the Russian people only needed a trigger incident to rebel.
