Orwell worked in Spain for about a year, 1936-37, his work on BBC during WWII was twice as long.
In my opinion, 1984 was shaped by his work in Britain.
And the brilliant MI6 / BBC propaganda made it as if 1984 were about the Soviet Union :)
As if it was not enough that the author himself put it in Britain.
If you want Soviet Style distopia, better read "We" from Zamyatin.
