ABSTRACT
At the Praesidium of the Central Control Commission the author recently told about the last conversation with Vladimir Ilych, not long before the second attack of his illness. He proposed to create a special commission of the Central Committee, and invited me to take active part in the work. The author laughed at the unexpectedness of this, because no such finished formulation of the idea was in the head. The organizational side he promised to think over 'further'. At that they parted. In the essence of the matter that plan of Lenin was wholly directed against Stalin. At the end of our conversation Vladimir Ilych said that he would propose the creation by the Central Committee of a commission for the struggle with bureaucratism 'in general', and through that they would approach the Organization Bureau of the party.
