"War Communism" is first introduced. This featured the complete and utter nationalization of industry, destruction of private enterprise and the forcible requisition of grain and other food resources by the government from the peasantry. It would eventually end after the series of strikes and protests that led to the Kronstadt Rebellion. In response to the Rebellion, in March 1921, the Bolsheviks institute the NEP (New Economic Policy). This is the most capitalistic the Soviet union will get. (nov 7, 1917 – jun 16, 1923)
