First Five Year Plan

The Five Year Plan, launched by Stalin in 1928, was intended to develop the industrial capacity of the Soviet economy; that is, to "overnight, transform Russia from an agricultural economy to an industrial economy."

It "emphasized maximum production of goods" and weapons, heavy machinery, and maximum extraction and securing of oil, steel, coal.

The people suffered deeply from being forced to try to meet unrealistic quotas in horrible conditions, and the government doubled down on the lies that everything was improving.

 NEP (New Economic Policy)

Lenin ^Lenin _Lenin   funds his communist project with a little dash of capitalism in 1921 and brings the USSR back from the abyss.

Due to Communist mismanagement, and compounded by peasants hoarding food instead of handing it over to the government, the USSR was faced with drought, famine, agricultural disaster, and industrial collapse.

So Lenin ^Lenin _Lenin  introduces NEP, which allows some private market practices. He had to do this because the country was going broke and he needed to boost his pet project, else Communism, using Communist principles, would have failed. So he used NEP, a modified capitalist system, to inject some life back into the economy. NEP meant peasants could sell produce legally, and small business could be legally owned by people, not the government.
