Policies that favored poor peasants

Lenin's wartime agricultural policy was known as "war communism." It consisted of confiscating grain produced by farmers either by forcing them to sell grain to the government at artificially set low prices or by threatening them with death, imprisonment or exile. Peasants were left with barely enough grain to survive, because it was more important in Lenin's opinion to let peasant farmers starve than to let workers in the cities and soldiers in the army starve, so he let many Russian peasants starve to death especially during the Russian Civil War. Lenin knew he needed the soldiers and the workers in order to stay in power, but he didn't need the peasant farmers.

Lenin's policies hardly favored poor peasants. They suffered worse under Lenin than they ever had under the Tsar.
