Stabilization
of the New Regime
nLenin issued the New Economic
Policy, a stopgap economic mix
of true Communism and
capitalism.
nFood production increased, giving
the Bolsheviks time to strengthen
their grip on national
politics.
nBy 1923, the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics was a fact but was
a “peoples’ government” in name only,
with all the features of an authoritarian system.
