New Economic Policy

Russian Revolution: Lenin's New Economic Policy
In 1921, Lenin and the Bolsheviks were on the edge of disaster. With the Civil War over, workers and peasants expected to see an improvement in their standard of living and an end to wartime policies. However, by the spring of 1921 economic conditions had deteriorated and there was open revolt against the Bolshevik government. Lenin was forced into making economic concessions in his New Economic Policy (NEP) to
ensure the survival of the regime. The economy recovered and the Bolsheviks were reprieved. The NEP was accompanied by political repression and a strengthening of the one-party state. By the time of Lenin’s death in 1924, Bolshevik power had been consolidated and the foundations of the future Communist regime put in place.

New Economic Policy
New Economic Policy (NEP), the economic policy of the government of the Soviet Union from 1921 to 1928, representing a temporary retreat from its previous policy of extreme centralization and doctrinaire socialism.
