summary
Vladimir Lenin introduced the New Economic Policy (NEP) because War Communism was not sorting out the country economically. Bringing the NEP about, permitted trade, but only some. Then also the people were aided by the selling of surplus of there crops. Letting the people have small amounts of leeway made for a better Russia.
