1921 - governed by dictatorship more absolute than any gov. under Tsarist autocracy.
Impact of NEP on economy
Immediate effect.
Markets returned, more goods available, food shortages disappeared and famine of 1921 ended.
By 1923, 85% of firms in private hands, peasants began cultivating more land and livestock increased. Coal and textile production doubled.
Scissor crisis - widening gap between agricultural prices and industrial prices.
Agricultural production rose = price of goods fell.
Industrial prices rose due to shortages.
Peasants had to pay more at a time when they were getting less for their goods.
Communists accused NEP of encouraging greed, independance and self-interest.
For this group, the shorter the NEP lasted, the better.
By Lenin's death in 1924 - debate over future on NEP was a serious issue for communists.
