Consolidation of Socialism in Russia

In the late spring of 1921, a large article by Lenin defines what the NEP [New Economic Policy] will be: suppression of requisitions, taxes in kind (for the peasants); freedom of trade; freedom of artisanal production; concessions to foreign capitalists; freedom of enterprise – it is true that restricted – for Soviet citizens. […] At the same time, he refuses any political freedom to the country: “The Mensheviks will remain in prison”, and announces a purification of the party, directed against revolutionaries from other parties, that is, not imbued with the mentality Bolshevik.
