And there are many technical reasons why it wasn't... and they have little do do with Karl Marx who probably did a few loops in his grave, but all to do with Russian history going back to the 12th century and the Mongol Invasion.
If you are curious I could even recommend a book or two on the subject... albeit one was written by a Russian Emigree who did have an axe to grind. As long as you are aware of that, his write ups on Peter the Great and connections to oh Joseph Stalin's style of leadership explain why truly Marx had nothing to do with it.
By the by, the five year plans were not even invented by Lenin or Stalin, but by the 1901 Duma.
