ABSTRACT
The falsifications and inventions in relation to the last period of Lenin's life are especially numerous. It would behoove Stalin to be extremely cautious about this period, when Vladimir Ilych arrived at certain final conclusions about Stalin. It is naturally difficult to expound the inner history of the Politburo during Vladimir Ilych's active life. 'cuckoo' is the last resort of Stalin and Bukharin when reasonings or facts drive them to the wall. To refute these legends it is necessary to take first of all the period of Lenin's illness-more accurately, the period between the two heavy attacks of it-when the doctors permitted Lenin to take part in the work, and when many important questions were decided in correspondence. In the Central Committee, at the end of 1922, there arose a very fundamental disagreement on the question of the monopoly of foreign trade. The censorship established over our inheritance from Lenin is ruthless.
