Appointed Prime Minister
Despite his central role in implementing the leftist policies, Genden deftly survived the purge by securing Joseph Stalin's favor during an internal MPRP leadership struggle. Moscow then had Genden appointed as the Prime Minister (chairman of the Assembly of People's Commissaries) on July 2, 1932 to oversee execution of “New Turn” policy, a relaxation of communist economic principles closely modeled on Vladimir Lenin’s New Economic Policy in the USSR.
Under the New Turn, policy taxes were reduced, private enterprise grew, religious institutions were left unmolested. The general economic situation improved and shortages were reduced. As a result Genden became very popular and the government was in a more dominant position vis-à-vis the MPRP for the first time since the revolution.
