2.The Soviet—style Socialist Road
The victory of the October Revolution in 1917 signalled that the Soviet Union would take the socialist road from then onwards. Under the leadership of Lenin and Stalin， the Soviet Union tried the road of socialist construction， established an ideological line and a national system strongly tinged with the colour of nationalist socialism and formed the Soviet Union model in a huge oriental country whose capitalism was underdeveloped， whose peasantry accounted for the major part of her population and whose despotic traditions were strong.
It is generally recognised that the overall feature of the Soviet model was the high concentration of and over—centralisation of power.
In the economic field, national ownership dominated. Agricultural collectivization and extensive industrialisation that aimed at rapid emulation were forcibly carried out from the top down to the bottom.A fully—nationalised， almost—mandatory and highly—centralised planned economic system was created. Power was over—centralised in the system of departmental management and administrative means were overused as methods for managing the economy.
