Answer:

A. Vladimir Lenin

Step-by-step explanation:

Lenin's beliefs as he took power in Russia lead to a new economic policy called the NEP, transforming Russia into a mass command economy.

The NEP in 1922, became a central economy that owned the means of production. Factories, capital and other factors in production of goods and services were directed by the state. Other economic activities by citiziens were discouraged or not even plausible anymore.

The command economy set objectives for demostrating that the economical crisis would end. Also the demand and the offer were controlled by artificial means. In most cases the goverment dictated the production levels. However with time this caused also great crisis, that costed millions of human lifes. (the Ukraine orquestrated famine is perhaps the most representative case for this extreme measures)
