War Communism: Strategies of Total Warfare in Revolutionary Russia 1918-1921

War communism, sometimes known as military communism, was the economic and political system that was in place in Soviet Russia during the Russian Civil War, which lasted from 1918 until 1921. During the month of June in 1918, communism was implemented by the Supreme Economic Council, which was also referred to as the Vesenkha. It came to an end on March 21, 1921, when the New Economic Policy was initiated, and it continued until 1928 during its entirety. Rather than being a unified political theory, the system has frequently been described as a straightforward authoritarian control exercised by the ruling and military castes in order to preserve power and control in the Soviet areas. This policy was supported by the Soviet propaganda, which asserted that the Bolsheviks had adopted it with the intention of ensuring that towns and the Red Army were continuously supplied with food and ammunition, despite the fact that new economic measures were required due to the circumstances.
