How Successful Was Stalin’s Economic Policy? Stalin’s economic policy primarily consisted of two factors‚ collectivisation and the five year plans. The aim of collectivisation was to destroy private ownership that had been allowed whilst the NEP was in effect.

Film Reflection Good Bye‚ Lenin! I had mixed feelings about the movie Good Bye‚ Lenin! While I enjoyed watching Alex run into new challenges and come up with new solutions in scene after scene I felt the movie became too long and repetitive.
