Actually, what Lenin said was : " We are taking one step backwards, to later take two steps forward." He stated this in the year 1921 regarding the introduction of the New Economic Policy within the state of Russia. Lenin was harshly criticized and this was his response. He wanted to introduce the NEP, which represented a more capitalistic approach than the War Communism, the current economic policy.
