The canonical accounts of Lenin\u2019s last writings accept the version that Lenin left a \u201ctestament\u201d that included a number of negative remarks about Joseph Stalin, and that Lenin wished to remove Stalin from the position of General Secretary of the All-Union Communist Party (bolshevik). This version stems partly from Trotsky, who embraced it eagerly in his campaign to replace Stalin as Party leader; partly from Lenin\u2019s wife Nadezhda Konstantinovna Krupskaya; and partly from Nikita Khrushchev and the Khrushchev-era fifth and last edition of Lenin\u2019s works, the Polnoe Sobranie Sochinenii (\u201cComplete Collection of Writings\u201d), or PSS.<\/p>\n

The present book is largely based on the research of Professor Valentin A. Sakharov of Moscow State University. His 2003 book, Lenin\u2019s \u201cPolitical Testament\u201d<\/em>, published by Moscow State University Press, is the result of years of access to and study of many of the archival copies of Lenin\u2019s works, drafts of those works, and originals of other important documents related to the question of Lenin\u2019s \u201ctestament.\u201d<\/p>\n

The present study draws the same conclusion: Lenin\u2019s so-called \u201cTestament\u201d is a fraud. The present book includes chapters that examine the role in these falsehoods of Leon Trotsky and the errors and falsehoods in the book Lenin\u2019s Last Struggle<\/em> by the late historian Moshe Lewin, as well as individual chapters on the role of Lenin\u2019s wife Nadezhda Konstantinovna Krupskaya and that of Lenin\u2019s sister Maria Il\u2019inichna Ulyanova.<\/p>\n
