Capitalism as the main economic system in Russia was abolished by Lenin in Russia. Never the less, when Russia's economy began failing and both industrial and agricultural production fell below even the levels of the Tsarist regime, he instituted what he called a "New Economic Policy." This reintroduced aspects of capitalism in the agricultural sector and in small businesses and factories.

Lenin's view toward property ownership was that it had to be abolished if capitalism were to be eliminated and socialism (and later communism) successfully imposed on the society. As Karl Marx had said the essence of capitalism is the private ownership of property. Abolish private ownership of property and you abolish capitalism. One of the very first things Lenin did after the Revolution was to abolish the private ownership of property and vest it in the state.

Lenin brought state capitalism to Russia, not Communism.
Before Lenin put forth his views on imperialism, he sought to clarify his own version of Marx's views on capitalism. For Lenin, capitalism is commodity production on its highest level of its development. This is when labor power itself becomes a commodity. The workers' consciousness is the self-consciousness of objectified man, of man as a commodity.Lenin believed he was moderating and improving upon Marx's definition of what capitalism really amounts to.
The New Economic Policy was Lenin's plan to reintroduce some aspects of capitalism into the socialistic Russian economy in an effort to rebuild the Russian economy.
