Question 3 • Modern World History B-CR

Which best describes Lenin’s New Economic Policy, established in 1921?

Answer
A
It permanently changed the economic strategy of the Soviet Union.
B
It temporarily allowed some private ownership of land in the Soviet Union.
C
It had the full backing of all the revolutionary elements in the Soviet Union.
D
It had little to no impact on the economy of the Soviet Union.

Explanation

Lenin’s New Economic Policy (NEP) was a temporary retreat from strict state control after the disruption of the Civil War. It allowed limited private trade and small-scale private enterprise, while the state kept control of major industries. Thus, B best describes the policy; it did not permanently change the Soviet economic strategy or have unanimous support.
