Lenin, the wife guy, got angry when Stalin criticized Krupskaya's constant acts of delivering concerning news to a bedridden Lenin suffering from stress. Lenin mistakenly thought Stalin was insulting Nadezhda and wrote a letter stating Stalin wasn't qualified for the leadership in the heat of a moment. Despite that, Lenin's sister said the two had close friendship till Lenin's death and Lenin trusted Iosef.
Okay then this must've been some liberal nonsense or something because I have seen writing where it said that they didn't see eye to eye at the end of Lenin's life. If this is just about the wife criticism situation that is it.
It's the exact kind of thing liberal media does today. Xi Jinping has two teacups at the joint sessions? A brazen power move. Hu Jintao wants to leave early because he's very very old and is only there in an honourary capacity? Xi is having him removed to show his disfavour.
Liberal private media is a cancer on this world. Even though English is my first and only fluent language: if the whole world just started assuming that someone is lying if they're speaking in English, the world would be a better place for me.
Here's the letter from Lenin to Stalin after this incident happened.
Maria Ulyanova (Lenin's sister) later wrote in a letter to the presidium of the July (1926) Joint Plenum of the Central Committee and the Central Control Commission of the R.C.P.(B.), at which the question had been raised by G. Y. Zinoviev, one of the leaders of the “new opposition”, that Stalin had offered his apologies.
It's the typical narrative creation of the west. The starry-eyed idealist movement is corrupted by the power hungry successor.
