๐ŸŽˆ Fun Fact: NEP stands for "New Economic Policy"! It was like a temporary "chill" on hardcore communism in Russia.

Centralized Control vs. Political Repression ๐ŸŒŸ

  • NEP gave the economy a break, but NOT politics.
  • More censorship? Yep! ๐Ÿ“œ
  • Other political parties? Watch out! ๐Ÿ’ฅ
  • Show Trials: This is like watching a drama series where old pals turn on each other and accuse them of wild stuff. (More on this in our next episode on Stalin ๐Ÿ˜‰)
  • Rebel peasants? Big oof! Their villages got wrecked. ๐ŸŒช
  • The Church wasn't safe either! โ›ช๏ธ
  • Cheka? No, it's GPU now: Sounds like a computer part, but it was just a renamed secret police! Still did the same scary stuff - random arrests and even executions.

Bolshevik Party's Internal Drama ๐ŸŒŸ

 

  • Ban on Factions, 1921: It's like telling all members of a group chat to stop arguing and accept the group admin's decisions or get kicked out.
    • The Workers' Opposition: "Hey, workers should have more say in the factories!"
    • Democratic Centralists: "Ordinary party members should have a say in decisions too!"
    • Lenin's reply: "No distractions, please! We've got big problems. Stick together." ๐Ÿค
