What were the steps taken by …

Five steps taken by Bolshevik to make Russia a socialist society were:

• They were given permission to the peasants to cultivate the land that had been socialised. To show that how collectively the work was done, they used lands which were confiscated.

• Centralized planning became their main agenda according to which they made five-year plans. In the first two plans, prices were fixed by the government as they wanted to promote industrial growth. This led to economic growth.

• New industries were set up which led to the increase in the industrial production. Also, in factories, crèches were arranged for the children of the working women and the arrangement of the living quarters were made for the workers.

• Public health-care was provided which was cheap.

• Schools were established. They allowed factory workers and peasants to enter the universities.
