ABSTRACT
Since March 5th, Lenin was feeling increasingly miserable. Perhaps he was suffering from visual disturbances, circulatory trouble, and nausea. Reportedly there were convulsions which resembled epileptic attacks. During World War II, the political warfare organization of a continental power secured a manuscript in which inter alia, the circumstances of Lenin's death were examined. It is not known whether this text was commissioned or captured. The author's identity is unknown and the original draft may have been re-written. Upon Krupskaya's instructions Lenin's letter with the post-script of March 6th was transmitted to Stalin only on March 7th. The unknown author alleged that when Krupskaya carried the letter to Stalin, he told her that Lenin did not have the authority to expel him from the party. Stalin forcefully took from Krupskaya her briefcase and seized a letter which Lenin had written to the Central Control Commission. If this story is correct, the letter probably contained his formal indictment of Stalin.
