The period of state capitalism, the NEP (New Economic Policy), only lasted from 1921 to 1928 and only existed to rebuild the Russian economy after the Civil War. After that, Stalin initiated the first of three five-year plans and the transition into socialism. The bureaucratic elite within the Soviet Union also can not be equivocated with a traditional oligarchy, which is a small group of individuals controlling the state, which wasn't the exact case in the Soviet Union.
