In the eаrly yeаrs оf the Sоviet Uniоn аnd during the Russian Civil War, Lenin’s socialist policies had wreaked havoc on the Soviet economy. The country was facing economic disintegration, famine, riots, and rebellion. In 1921, Lenin changed course and established the [BLANK-1] which provided for a free market with state-run capitalism. He allowed peasant producers and artisanal workers to sell their surpluses at free markets (although heavy industry, railroads, and banks remained wholly nationalized). His program attempted to rebuild agriculture and industry. It was successful both financially and politically. It brought rapid recovery to the Soviet Union and by 1926, industrial output surpassed prewar levels, with agricultural production not far behind.
