@Burrito69killer 6 millions people died from hunger, that was caused by destructive Civil War and Millitary Communism politics - soldiers and workers with weapons took the harvest from peasants. Enterprises were given to the worker control or nationalized. Workers lost their morivation to work, because there is no more capitalists, that could dismiss them for bad work. Also workers made their interprises irretable, because they simply made their salary bigger (Unteached workers didn't knew that total cost of money is equal to total cost of product, money don't have cost by their own, and there is no difference how many money you have, but difference is how many product). As a result less product, more money, inflation of economy, the prices are growing when there is less product with same number of money, but this cause the problems with organization of production - production of something also needs money to pay, as a result of which production become more expensive and fell, and there is cycle. That caused hunger economical decline. Most people in modern Russia blame the people, who destroyed Soviet Union, saying that in 90s there was unemlloyment ratio 25%, inflation of 300% per year and decline of everything. This people even sometimes hate the Soviet Union, but they still blame Eltsin. They don't know, that when Soviet Union was established, there was much higher and scary crisis, with same inlation in 4 years between 1922 and 1917 as a result of wonderful communist politics and Civil War. In 1922 there was the denomination of Rouble, the Rouble of 1921 was equal to 10 000 Roubles of 1918. Middle salary in 1913 was 80 Roubles, in 1921 - 300 000 Roubles. Also government controlled enterprises were unnefective due to the fact, that officials aren't motivated to lead the enterprise as capitalists, that gain profit from enterprise, and they interested in growth and profitability. 1.6 million soldiers died in Civil War from both sides, and 1.8 peasants were killed. 6 millions people immigrated from Russia, this were the scientists, ingeeners, and etc. . Russia lost a lot of territories with population. And we not talking about Brest-Litowsk peace threaty, when Germany occupied Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Baltics, and even landed in Helsinki. Thanks to the Antanta Germany lost the war, and Communists took Ukraine and Belarus. But Poland occupied some territories of Ukraine and Belarus.

@Burrito69killer The new economic policy began as a result of the revolution in St. Petersburg in 1922, which was arranged by 15 thousand soldiers and 8 thousand sailors, as well as a huge number of civilians. The revolutionaries presented Lenin with an ultimatum, which spoke of the NEP. The NEP was a forced measure that the Communists took as a compromise to avoid a revolution from the people starving as a result of their awesome politics. And to restore the economy destroyed by the communist policy with decaying capitalist methods. As a result of the NEP, the economy got back on its feet by 1928, after which the USSR will quite brutally switch to the state plan - there will be massive uprisings, in which more than 2 million people will take part. People defended their property, they did not want to lose what they had acquired. They, along with their families, will be sent to labor camps of detention, popularly called a gulag, although this is an abbreviation, or to special settlements - isolated villages on the outskirts of the world without the right to leave. In total, those subject to exile or imprisonment in camps in the period from 1928 to 1929 will be 1.8 million in the gulag, and 1.6 million in the settlements, 60 thousand people will die during transportation. the transition to the plan will be carried out by the creation of state corporations, which will have to oust them from the market through competition with private owners, establishing a monopoly. It is clear that having the resources of the entire state, direct access to the regulation of tax rates, having the entire state budget. It was not difficult to do this, taxes were increased for all private traders, as a result they went bankrupt, and the state established an almost complete monopoly, where the guys with rifles had to help.
