Features: The articles collected in this book are the research results of Russian scholars on the New Economic Policy since the 1990s. The content primarily focuses on political discussions and historical research. The author provides rich historical materials from different perspectives, offering a detailed presentation of the basic conditions under which the Soviet Union implemented the New Economic Policy at that time. The main issues covered include: how Lenin assessed the situation at the time and conceived the New Economic Policy; how he proposed, "Our entire understanding of socialism has fundamentally changed"; the debates within the party on this issue; the changes that occurred in the political and economic spheres during the New Economic Policy period; the relationship between the state and the market; the development path of Soviet rural areas; the reasons for the termination of the New Economic Policy, and so on. To comprehensively and authentically introduce the exploration of this issue from different perspectives by Russian scholars to Chinese readers, we have translated the articles with different viewpoints in their entirety without, allowing readers to gain a full understanding and make their own analyses and judgments.
