The correct answer is:
After taking power in Russia, one of the first issues Lenin addressed was to reactivate the economy with the New Economic Policy (NEP).
1. The New Economic Policy (NEP) was introduced by Lenin in 1921 as a temporary measure to revive the economy after years of war and unrest. It allowed for some capitalist ventures and private ownership of small businesses while the state retained control of key industries.
2. The NEP aimed to stimulate economic growth, encourage small-scale entrepreneurship, and restore agricultural production by giving peasants more control over their land and crops.
3. By implementing the NEP, Lenin sought to stabilize the country's economy and improve living conditions for the population while maintaining the socialist system established by the Bolshevik Revolution.
In summary, Lenin's decision to address the economy with the New Economic Policy was a strategic move to revive Russia's economy and provide a temporary solution to the challenges faced by the country at that time.
