Political organisation
The political organisation of the USSR put into practice Marxist ideas with the establishment of a proletariat dictatorship
Political power was held by the soviets (controlled by the proletariat), which had the power to make laws (legislative power) and to choose the people who held executive power
The Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) was the only political party, and it represented the interests of the workers
Economy
Lenin was forced to postpone the implementation of socialism because of the shortage of food caused by the civil war
He established the New Economic Policy (NEP) which allowed some capitalist systems to exist to increase production
Peasants could sell their produce, and small private artisan and trading companies were set up
The state controlled the important sectors, such as large industries, foreign trade and banks
