Theorising a revolution is easier than practising it; however, both achieving and sustaining the communist revolution in Soviet Russia had many challenges—internal and external, material and ideological. One of the major problems that would have shaken the foundational and ideological stones of revolution was the small economy of the country, which was neither able to fulfil the demands of its population nor other national necessaries. The economy, further, was shrunken during the civil war and post-war communism phases. With the immature death of Lenin in 1924, the effectiveness of the New Economic Policy was overshadowed by the command economy of Joseph Stalin, the successor of Lenin. The paper has focused on the impact of the command economy in general and the First Five Year Plan in particular.
