Vladimir Lenin's wartime agricultural policy, particularly during and after World War I, was characterized by the implementation of War Communism. This approach aimed to ensure that food and resources were directed towards the Red Army and urban workers, leading to the nationalization of land and the requisitioning of grain from peasants. The policy often resulted in widespread discontent among farmers, as they were compelled to surrender surplus produce, which contributed to famine and resistance. Ultimately, the harshness of War Communism prompted the later introduction of the New Economic Policy (NEP) in 1921, which allowed for some degree of private farming and market trade.
