After the October revolution in1917, Russia established the first socialist country. Socialism has realized the leap from theory to practice, to become a major change in the history of the development of human society. The Bolshevik party, led by Lenin, under the premise of no experience to draw lessons started a very difficult road to explore socialism.After the Soviet regime established the country faced the foreign armed intervention and the domestic counter-revolutionary rebellion double threats. Tensions on domestic concern and foreign aggression, Lenin adopted a "military communism" policy, effectively concentrated national strength against imperialism invasion, the domestic counter-revolutionary rebellion, and defended the Soviet regime. But military communist policies did not stop with the end of the war. It was seen as "shortcut", a direct transition to communism, leading to the results of sailors uprising and peasants revolt, harming the interests of the broad masses of farmers, affecting the alliance of workers and peasants, also hindering the development of national economy. Therewith, Lenin proposed the "retreat" in a timely manner. The implementation of the new economic policy mobilized the production enthusiasm of the laborer (especially farmers) greatly, changed the domestic peoples discontent effectively, consolidated the worker-peasant alliance and restored the development of the domestic economy quickly. Lenin explored the problem behind the countrys socialist road, and believed that the new economic policy was not a "retreat", and it should be executed in the Soviet union for a long time. Due to premature death of Lenin, this theory system was still in the exploration which was not mature and perfect, it didnt reach a consensus and make further discussion in the Bolshevik party.The vast majority of the Bolshevik leaders misunderstood the assume which was developed by Marx and Engels according to western European capitalism and the future communist society without market, currency and commodities, completely ignoring Russia (Soviet union), the state of the union always grafting Marx and Engels assumption on the Russia economy of backward radically, adhering to the" eliminate commodity currencies " wrongly, knowing nothing about how to develop social productive forces effectively, how production relations should be adapted to the development of productivity, etc. So, new economic policy which cannot leave the market, currency and commodity in this kind of atmosphere was incompatible, the Bolsheviks mainstream consciousness tended to Stalinist road of socialist construction. Only Bukharin really understood Lenins thought, but bookish he was at a disadvantage from the start with arbitrary Stalins debate, combined with the negative effect of the new economic policy, Bukharin is also very tangled on the firm belief of communism. As it were k, the new economic policy soon end was largely been doomed.
