Basically government control and management of all industry and much of agriculture as well- Collective farms, ( there were two different types, Kolkhoz ( Collective Farms) and SovKhoz- Soviet or state farms owned directly by the Ministry of Agriculture- no US equivalent. the central govt dictated economic policy- to the Steel industry- produce X number million tons for Basic Industry!- without regard to what in this country would be market economy, private business competition, etc. Big Brother was at the controls!
Lenin's New Economic Policy was a temporary retreat from full socialism to partial capitalism for the purpose of rebuilding Russia's economy. The NEP permitted small businesses to make personal profits and permitted almost all of the peasant farmers to keep and sell their produce as they wished. Elements of capitalism such as individual profit and private ownership of land were permitted in order to revitalize the Russian economy.
After the Bolshevik revolution and the Russian civil War, the nationalized industry faltered, producing less than it had even under Tsarist rule. In addition, the agrarian side of the economy, the peasant farmers, were angry at being forced to turn over large portions of their crops to the state whether they wanted to or not. They began hoarding some of it. There was real dissatisfaction with the oppressive Bolshevik demands among the peasant population. There was also real dissatisfaction among people in the urban areas because of shortages of goods due to the failing industrial side of the economy. These were the same problems that fomented the 1917 revolution in the first place and Lenin sought to forestall that by introducing his NEP. As he said, it was taking two steps forward and one back.

Joseph Stalin reversed Lenin's New Economic Policy and instituted the Five Year Plans.Joseph Stalin began the Five-Year Plans.
Stalin scrapped Lenin's New Economic Policy (NEP) in favor of his own Five Year Plans. Stalin and other hardline Marxist/Communists felt that Lenin's NEP was a retreat from the move from capitalism to socialism and were angered over it. The NEP was kept in place by Stalin and his co-rulers after Lenin's death until 1929 when Stalin had eliminated his opposition and became the sole power in the Soviet Union. That is when he replaced the NEP with his own program for economic recovery.
