Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Under the New Economic Policy (NEP), the Communists allowed certain elements of the economy to return to private hands. This included small businesses, farming, and trading. However, the state still controlled heavy industry and banking. The NEP was a temporary measure to address economic problems after the Russian Civil War, and it was later abandoned in favor of more centralized economic control under Stalin.
