which had been done with regard to organization
in the Russian Communist Party, all that which is

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

Lenin's Testament.
Lenin left to us the fundamental organizational
principles of Party organization which have remained
 in force to this day and which should be
learned thoroughly by all the Sections of the Communist
 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 professional
 revolutionaries.
