Under Lenin's New Economic Policy

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Under Lenin's New Economic Policy, individuals were permitted to own small retail stores and peasants to sell their produce. This was a shift from the previous policy of state control over all economic activities, including retail and agriculture. State requisitions of peasant grain continued, but the policy allowed for some private enterprise and individual initiative. The state retained control over heavy industrial operations, and banks and mines continued to be state-owned.
