Lenin did away with "war communism" in favor of his "New Economic Policy", which permitted some aspects of capitalism in small businesses and agriculture while retaining the rest of the economy under government control.
Centralized state dominated by a single party.
The Russian economy began to improve after the Civil War due to several key factors, including the New Economic Policy (NEP) introduced by Lenin in 1921, which allowed for a degree of private enterprise and market mechanisms. This policy helped to revitalize agriculture and small industry by incentivizing productivity among peasants and entrepreneurs. Additionally, the stabilization of the political landscape and the consolidation of Bolshevik power reduced uncertainty, fostering an environment conducive to economic recovery. Over time, these measures contributed to gradual industrial growth and improved living standards.
The Bolsheviks led by Lenin faced a multitude of problems after the Revolution. These included economic chaos civil war foreign intervention and a lack of public support. In order to tackle these issues Lenin implemented a range of policies. Economically Lenin introduced the New Economic Policy (NEP) in 1921 which combined aspects of both capitalism and socialism allowing the government to maintain control over the economy while also encouraging enterprise. In order to combat the civil war Lenin encouraged the use of brutal tactics to suppress internal opposition. He also negotiated treaties with his enemies such as the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk to create a period of peace. Lenin also sought to gain public support for the Bolsheviks. To do this he increased access to education reduced censorship and created the Cheka an organization which aimed to root out counter-revolutionary activity. Lenin also used propaganda to increase public support. He utilized posters newspapers and radio broadcasts to spread the Bolshevik message. Through these measures Lenin was able to overcome the many challenges that the Bolsheviks faced after the Revolution.
Stalin's rise to power began when he gained control of Central Control Committee in the years between 1921 to 1923. After Lenin's death he began the so-call Lenin Levy which recruited thousands of new members to the Communist Party. He had the opportunity to hand pick people who supported him. Before Lenin's death he managed to isolate Lenin from other Party members. With the successful exile of Trotsky, many of Stalin's enemies "disappeared". For all practical purposes he was unopposed as the leader of the Soviet Union in 1929. He was cautious, however, and did not make himself the infallible Premier until 1931. Unfortunately the 1924 "Lenin's death" answer as to when Stalin was the dictator of the USSR is not correct.
1) Peasants and workers objected to war communism, such as rationing of foods as well as private training being banned. This resulted in productivity falling. 2) The policy failed to create the utopian communist state Lenin had hoped for. Peasants did not respond well to the idea of giving up produce, so as a result, they grew and bred less animals. This led to a food shortage in 1920 and a famine in 1921 leading to the deaths of 7 million people. 3)Kronstadt Mutiny - biggest challenge for Lenin& Trotsky over war communism... Don't really know how to develop the point!

It could be expected that the Bolshevik Party would run into problems with both wings of the Marxist factions involved with the October Revolution. Lenin could not afford to have his policies questioned or altered by the revolutionary movement. He was therefore concerned with two main obstacles. One was the former Provisional government leaders that Lenin had not already imprisoned or executed. The even more dangerous opposition came for avid Marxists in the Bolshevik Party or other left wing extremists. Lenin took the opportunity of the Tenth Party Congress of 1921 to declare any forms of democracy held by people within the revolutionary movement to be expelled from the Bolshevik Party. By 1921, anyone not considered to be a loyalist to Lenin was in trouble. All factionalism within the Soviet Union was ended. In later years, after Lenin's death, Joseph Stalin would cite Lenin's policies as Stalin's basis to curb any dissent within the Communist Party. Generally speaking, Stalin's method of "curbing" was either prison or execution.
Lenin went from hiding out in Finland to leading Russia. He came to power after realizing the government was not set up the way he wished it would be. He used propaganda to help him rise in power.

Lenin created the NEP in response to the Kronstadt Rising that occurred in March 1921, as these Kronstadt sailors were amongst his greatest supporters, and showed him that he obviously needed to change his policy from War Communism to the New Economic Policy.
