In case of Lenin that was truly obsession of "control and accounting", where all levels of socialist society mutually control each other. First described in "How to organize competition" (1917) https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1917/dec/25.htm That was an interesting twist in many aspects, as he opposed "capitalist competition" to "socialist emulation" which was expected to be voluntary, but in the Soviet reality it was anything but that.
