The period of a significant softening of the principles of collectivism fell on the 1920s, after the New Economic Policy (NEP) was adopted on March 14, 1921 by the 10th Congress of the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks), which replaced the "military communism" that operated during the Civil War. Feeling freedom, private entrepreneurs very soon achieved noticeable successes that allowed them to solve their own social issues, while filling the market with goods and services. However, the NEP period was short-lived, and history has not preserved any examples of enterprises that could be classified as social.
