Pohnpei above is correct. I think each of their chosen names also further reflect who they are supposed to represent in the Russian Revolution.
Napoleon (Stalin) is the name of another merciless leader in history.
Squealer (Pravda) is the media mouth. Often sounds that squeal are unpleasant but very real. Also, a squealer is like one who tells on other people. The media is used to "tell-on" what happens to other Russians.
Snowball (Trotsky) reminds me of the snowball effect. The lies spread about Trotsky during early Communism, grew and grew and grew like a snowball.
Just something to think about.
