Stalin's rise to power and the organization of the state

The first reconstruction program was proposed in 1921 by Vladimir Lenin. A project called the New Economic Policy (RUS. NEP) was designed for almost a decade. The assumptions of the NEP made it possible to gradually move away from exclusive state ownership, develop entrepreneurship, and shift the focus from agriculture to heavy industry. This contributed to the economic restructuring of the state, while the new economic doctrine implemented in the USSR was far from the democracy, freedom and property rights typical of Western countries. The NEP brought the USSR economic growth of several tens of percent. His assumptions were rejected in 1928 by Stalin, who proposed a return to a revolutionary economy based on the absolute domination of the state. This year, he announced the start of the first five-year plan.

The first five-year plan was based on the rapid development of heavy industry and mining and the collectivization of agriculture. It seems that the specifics of the functioning of the Soviet economy saved it from the catastrophic consequences of the economic crisis of 1929. Most European countries were struggling with problems. Meanwhile, being closed to the influx of foreign capital, the USSR, based on assumptions of a centrally planned economy, did not record a clear decline in production or an excess of goods. The consolidation of farms and the redistribution of goods from mandatory quotas proved ineffective and contributed to a particularly severe famine that struck Ukraine (1932-1933). Despite the loud slogans about the fair distribution of goods, the redistribution was not based on the principle of equality. The new system promoted primarily members of the Bolshevik Party, especially those who were committed to building a revolutionary state. Expropriations, confiscations, and arrests have all prevented the State from recovering from years of ruin and neglect.

The next five-year reform, carried out in 1932-1937, was aimed at increasing consumption, reforming agriculture in the spirit of modernization and further collectivization, as well as further industrial development. At the same time, the Soviet Union began to pursue an increasingly active international policy in preparation for territorial expansion both before and during World War II.
