Lenin wrote an entire book, The Tax In Kind, justifying the retention of wage labor and commodity production for exchange in the Soviet Union, and indeed the introduction of market relations where none had previously existed.

The Soviet Union was a capitalist society. It never ceased to be capitalist, and could not have done so under the circumstances

I assume any society that uses some sort of monetary system as its primary means for exchange is a capitalist society.
