Lenin never recovered from this... This testament came from the series of strokes that lead to his death
Also I think you're seriously confused. Zinoviev was part of the Bolsheviks since it split with the Mensheviks in 1903. Same with Kamenev. Stalin joined in 1917. Hell, the first time he even met Lenin was in 1906. And he was in and out of prison until the revolution (he was only out of prison for a total of 2 years between 1908 and 1917) so there's no way he could have possibly been "working together to bring about the revolution for decades"
Furthermore Lenin was (once again) forced into exile in 1907. He wouldn't even return to Russia until April of 1917 (hence the "April Theses")
This is just a matter of basic dates. Like shit you could have simply looked up. Please don't rudely ask me to do my research when you can't even get the very basics right.
Next time you reply I hope you've at least learned to use Google

Lenin recovered from his second stroke enough to investigate the Georgia matter himself before suffering his third stroke and dying. You make it sound like Lenin was warning the world of the evils of Stalin on his deathbed, and that's just not what happened.
And Stalin and Lenin had been colleagues and friends for twenty years by this time. They knew each other since 1905. And was he not in prison for working on the revolutionary socialist project?
And I apologize for being rude, but this is just contrary to everything I've learned about Stalin. Frankly, it feels indistinguishable from liberal histories of Stalin, which have been extremely falsified. So when I say you've been mislead in a serious way, I'm being quite serious.
