Russia is not yet a free enterprise; it is in transition.
Joseph Stalin gained more power than any other person after Lenin died. In the last year of Lenin's life, Stalin led Russia along with Lev Kamenev and Grigory Zinoviev. Then Stalin gradually ousted Leon Trotsky, Nikolai Bukharin, Zinoviev and Kamenev from consideration as Lenin's sole successor. In 1929, Stalin became the sole power in the Soviet Union.
In 1903, at the Russian Social Democratic Party Congress in Brussels, Belgium, Lenin adopted the name Bolshevik as the name for his faction of the Marxist RSDP. Lenin's group was more radical than the rest of the RSDP, which became known as the Mensheviks. Lenin's ideas had been forming over the years prior to this; however this was the first time the name Bolshevism was applied to Lenin's philosophy of the way to attain first socialism and then communism.
Politically, Stalin believed that the Russian people were superior to the other races (Muslims, Ukrainians, Letts, Asians, etc.) within Russia and sought to exclude them from participation in government. Lenin believed in inclusion of all people within Russia in the spirit of creating a classless society that Marxian communism contemplated. Economically, Stalin sought to improve Russia's industrial and agricultural capacity by his Five-Year Plans. These brought all aspects of the economy under greater control of the central government. Lenin sought to revive the entire economy as a whole by his New Economic Policy. This re-introduced aspects of a capitalist economy in small industries and agriculture. Stalin adamantly opposed this strategy.
It was 1917 when Lenin and the Bolsheviks in a nearly bloodless coup took over the Provisional Government that had been in place since the February 1917 revolution. The Provisional Government was dissolved and Lenin assumed power in Russia. It wasn't until 1920 that his hold on Russia was solidified, because the Russian Civil War soon broke out and lasted until 1920.
No: Stalin was an authoritarian dictator. The system introduced by Lenin and the Bolsheviks in 1917 was state capitalism. Communism involves the abolition of the wages system and establishment of a classless society.
Lenin formed the Bolshevik Party in 1903.
The Bolshevik party, led by Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, established Russia as a socialist state in 1917 after the revolution of that year. Communism derived from the socialist aspect of the party's policies and actions.
Russia's economy has moved from communism to a free enterprise system since what year?
in the mid 1800's
Nothing as it was Stalin who began the Five Year Plan system. Lenin used the seemingly capitalist NEP up until his death as his initial War Communism caused widespread famine.
Russia is not yet a free enterprise; it is in transition.
They are same, both of them were tyrants or despots, officialy more people died during Stalin's time especially in 1937-1938 year, but Lenin just seemed better but he was a wolf in sheep's clothes.
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.
