1. Y. Felshtinsky, Criminal Leaders (Moscow: Terra, 1999), 290. Lenin spent the last period of his life in
isolation, as organized by Stalin. On December 18, 1922, the Central Committee of the Communist
Party issued a decree that “charged Comrade Stalin with personal responsibility for the isolation of
Vladimir Ilyich from both personal contacts with employees and correspondence.” Stalin controlled
everything: security, feeding, and medical “treatment.” Lenin was allowed to read only what Stalin
permitted. Everything that Lenin wrote was given to Stalin. Actually, Stalin’s physicians did not allow
Lenin to write much because of “concern” for his health.
