The description of Emmanuel Goldstein, with a small, goatee beard, evokes the image of Lev Trotskiy. The film of Goldstein during the Two Minutes Hate rally in the opening scene is described as showing him being transformed into a bleating sheep. This image was used in a propaganda film during the Kino-eye period of Soviet film, which showed Trotsky transforming into a goat. Goldstein's book is similar to Trotsky's highly critical analysis of the U.S.S.R., "The Revolution Betrayed", published in 1936.
