LENIN ON ORGANIZATION 
of organization. However, all the valuable work 
which had been done with regard to organization 
in the Russian Communist Party, all that which is 
of enormous importance for all the Sections of the 
Communist International, was done with the direct 
participation of Comrade Lenin and sometimes on 
his instructions, as for example the recruiting of as 
many workers and peasants as possible—including 
the more backward sections,—the working women, 
and peasant women, for the work of administering 
the country; putting forward workers from the 
bench to occupy responsible positions, the intro- 
duction of plan in Party work, the establishment 
of a control commission, etc., ete. 
Lenin's Testament. 
Lenin left to us the fundamental organizational 
principles of Party organization which have re- 
mained in force to this day and which should be 
learned thoroughly by all the Sections of the Com- 
munist International. 
These fundamental principles are as follows: 
1) The doctrine that the Communist Party is 
the vanguard of the working class. This doctrine, 
taken from Marx and Engels, was emphasized by 
Lenin, developed and excellently applied in modern 
conditions. 
2) The old doctrine, but one which has not yet 
been carried out by the overwhelming majority of 
the Communist Parties, namely: the formation of 
the principle cadres of the Party, so-called profes- 
sional revolutionaries.
