I believe that the Historical strategy was very important in writing this book.   It is so evident to me that Zamyatin used history as a reference because of everything that was going on in his home country at the time that this book was written.  The USSR was starting to take shape in Russia and the country was becoming a Communist country.   The book was written as to what Zamyatin thought that Russia would become if the communism regime would continue and succeed.
