Joseph Stalin ended Lenin's New Economic Policy in 1929 because he instituted his own economic plan called the Five Year Plan. The three Five Year Plans were designed to increase Russia's industrial capacity turning the country from an agrarian economy to an industrial one. Stalin felt this was necessary in order to enable the Soviet Union to compete with the West economically. In addition, Stalin and other high ranking members of the Communist Party never agreed with Lenin's reintroduction of capitalism in certain areas of the economy. The Five Year Plans eliminated this retreat from communism to capitalism while at the same time strengthening Soviet industry.
