Best Answer

Stalin scrapped Lenin's New Economic Policy and replaced it with a series of Five Year Plans. They were designed to increase the industrial capacity of the Soviet Union to catch up to that of the western world. The first one was instituted in 1928, exceeded its five year goal withing four years and a second plan was started.

In a speech on February 4, 1931, he stated:

"We have fallen behind the advanced countries by fifty to a hundred years. We must close that gap in ten years. Either we do this or we'll be crushed."
