Transcript of War Communism. War Communism was the name given to the economic system that existed in Russia from 1918 to 1921. War Communism was introduced by Lenin to combat the economic problems brought on by the civil war in Russia. It was a combination of emergency measures and socialist dogma. On June 28th, 1918, a decree was passed that ended all forms of private capitalism.
Communism was a philosophy developed by Karl Marx in 1845, and while it almost took hold in France in 1871, it wasn't officially put into practice until 1917, when Russia adopted it as a form of government and became the first communist state.
