Lenin's New Economic Policy (NEP) was surprising because it marked a significant departure from the strict Marxist principles and the radical economic policies of War Communism that had dominated the early years of the Bolshevik regime. After the Civil War, the dire economic situation and widespread famine forced the government to adopt a more pragmatic approach, allowing for some private enterprise and market mechanisms. This shift was unexpected given the Bolsheviks' initial commitment to abolishing capitalism entirely, reflecting a willingness to adapt to reality for the sake of recovery and stability. Lenin's NEP illustrated a strategic retreat, prioritizing economic revival over ideological purity.
