Communist Russia Stalin was the leader of the USSR & he improved the country’s economic status. Stalin also ordered purges (execution) of all those who opposed him, especially independent thinkers & intellectuals. Millions of people were killed including government officials, military, & common people. There were also forced labor camps and collective farms, causing many people to die from starvation. Stalin was the Premier of the Soviet Union from 6 May 1941 until his death in 5 March 1953.

Anthem: Themes & Ideas Theory of Objectivism, or ego-ism, the idea that an individual’s worth comes from him or herself, not from what they contribute to society. The novel is written as an allegory, a fictional story whose purpose is to present a fictional idea. (Allegory: a representation of an abstract or spiritual meaning through concrete or material forms; figurative treatment of one subject under the guise of another.)

Dystopian Novel dystopia [dis-toh-pee-uh] an imaginary place where everything is as bad as it can be (opposite of utopia) Rand describes a dystopia in the novel, an imaginary world through which Rand shows the negatives of Collectivism: 1.the principle of ownership of the means of production, by the state or the people 2.a social system based on this principle

To Know Before You Read... The novel is written using the word we because people were not allowed to use the word I. They were a collective society and not an individual one. The novel is written in the future, and people can barely remember/know what life was like (life as society now). Imagine that everything has been wiped out and society is starting from scratch even though it is the future.
