A proposito di questo titolo

In 1921, Lenin faced an impossible choice: double down on War Communism or admit the revolution had stalled. This episode dives into the New Economic Policy — NEP — that saved the Soviet Union but planted ideological landmines. We explore the peasant revolt in Tambov, the famine of 1921-22 that killed millions, the rise of the Nepmen and kulaks, and the bitter debates between Lenin, Trotsky, Bukharin, and a rising Stalin. Why did Lenin, the architect of War Communism, suddenly embrace small-scale capitalism? How did the NEP become a bitter compromise that Stalin would eventually tear up? And what did ordinary workers and peasants actually experience — the queue, the bribe, the black market? Through the story of the NEP, we see a regime struggling to survive, and the seeds of its own future crisis.
