The chief architect of the NEP (New Economic Policy) was Nikolai Bukharin. A detailed description of the NEP and Bukharin's role in forging early Soviet policy can be found in Stephen Cohen's Bukharin and the Bolshevik Revolution.

The "big three" figures in the Russian Revolution are Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotsky, and Joseph Stalin. Lenin was the leader of the Bolshevik Party and played a pivotal role in the October Revolution of 1917, advocating for a socialist state. Trotsky was a key military leader and strategist, known for his role in the Red Army's success during the Civil War.
