 Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich
In a testament written before his death, Lenin had made it clear that he did not believe that Josef Stalin should become leader of the USSR.

On arriving in Russia, Lenin established himself at the head of the Bolsheviks, against the provisional government of Kerensky.

 Joseph Stalin
He adhered to Vladimir Lenins doctrine of a strong centralist party of "professional revolutionaries".
After Lenin's death in January 1924, Stalin, Kamenev, and Zinoviev together governed the party, placing themselves ideologically between Trotsky (on the left wing of the party) and Bukharin (on the right).
However, this document was suppressed by members of the Central Committee, many of whom were also criticised by the Bolshevik leader in the testament.

 LEON TROTSKY: 1926 -- On Lenin's Testament
After Lenin& death, not long before the Thirteenth Congress, she handed the testament to the Secretariat of the Central Committee, in order that through the party Congress it should be brought to the attention of the party for whom it was destined.
I rejected with indignation the proposal to hoodwink Lenin, spoke essentially in favor of the reform proposed by him, and demanded the immediate publication of his article.
[Kamenev] said he would openly declare at the Plenum of the Central Committee how they, that is, Kamenev and Zinoviev, together with Stalin, decided to utilize the old disagreements between L. [Trotsky] and Lenin so as to keep Comrade Trotsky from the leadership of the Party after Lenin& death.

 Lenin’s Testament – (1922-23)
In the document known as ‘Lenin’s Testament’ he dictated to his secretary Maria Volodicheva on 30 December 1922, he implied that the charges of ‘Georgian nationalism’ levelled against the ‘Georgian deviators’ were ‘imaginary’ (and the product of ‘Great Russian chauvinism on the part of Dzerzhinsky’:
Then, at the very end of December 1922, Lenin, who had initiated the concept of the Transcaucasian Federation, who had denounced the ‘Georgian deviators’, and defended Ordzhonikidze against their attacks, suddenly reversed his position on these questions.
A group of the ‘Georgian deviators’, headed by Kate Tsintsadze* and Sergey Kavtaradze* then telegraphed a protest, making a strong attack on Ordzhonikidze, directly to Lenin, who rebuked them sharply and defended Ordzhonikidze in a telegram of reply dated 21 October 1922:

To Card's credit, at least he doesn't raise the false Lenin's Testament argument against Stalin's persynality(12.b), but that just shows that Card is ignorant of the slanderous anti-Stalin lies that are actually credible among Trotskyists and other anti-Communists.
But that didn't stop Stalin from imprisoning Lenin and then killing him.

 Grigory Zinoviev - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nevertheless, Zinoviev and Kamenev helped Stalin retain his position as General Secretary of the Central Committee at the XIIIth Party Congress in May-June 1924 during the first Lenin's Testament controversy.
Zinoviev was one of the most powerful figures in the Soviet leadership during Lenin's final illness in 1922-1923 and immediately after his death in January 1924.
Zinoviev was re-elected to the Politburo, but his ally Kamenev was demoted from a full member to a non-voting member and Sokolnikov was dropped altogether, while Stalin had more of his allies elected to the Politburo.

 SparkNotes: Joseph Stalin: The Struggle for Power
Together the three formed what was referred to as the "troika," or "triumvirate"; as Lenin inched closer to death, they launched a series of attacks on Trotsky in party meetings, drawing on his writings and speeches from his years as a Menshevik to attack him for disloyalty to his own movement.
But by the following year, Zinoviev and Kamenev realized that Stalin, whom they had saved from political ruin after Lenin's death, was betraying them and moving toward an alliance with Bukharin's faction.
This was a critical moment: if his rivals had demanded compliance with the testament at this point, Stalin would not have survived their attacks--his support base was not yet large enough.
