ABSTRACT
The author explores the disagreements with Lenin, But Stalin's attempt, relying upon these facts, to distort the general character of our relations goes to pieces completely when confronted with the facts of that period when, as the author have said, things were decided, not in conversation and votings which leave no record, but by means of correspondence; that is, in the interval between the first and second illnesses of Lenin. M. Ulianova tried to present the matter in such a way that the breaking off of comradely relations announced by Lenin to Stalin in the last letter before his death seemed to be evoked by personal and not political causes. That last letter was written after the letter on the national question and after the Testament. Arduous attempts have been made to weaken the moral weight of the last letter of Lenin.
