Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'new economic policy'

The New Economic Policy (NEP) was a temporary economic strategy implemented by Vladimir Lenin in Soviet Russia from 1921 to 1928, replacing the policies of War Communism. This mixed economic system permitted some private enterprise and market elements while maintaining state control of major industries, representing a strategic retreat from pure communism to revitalize the Soviet economy after the Russian Civil War. In alternate history scenarios, the NEP often serves as a critical divergence point for exploring different trajectories of Soviet economic development and political evolution.
