What warning did lenin give about Stalin before he died?

Lenin warned the Central Committee of the Communist Party that Stalin was using the post of General Secretary of the Communist Party to consolidate too much power in himself and his position. Lenin also warned that Stalin was too rude and too coarse for the job of head of the USSR. Lenin always liked Stalin's aggressiveness and willingness to do anything to support the Bolshevik cause, but he did not believe that Stalin was the right person to lead the USSR. Lenin recommended to the Central Committee that it find a way to remove Stalin from his position of power before he becomes so strong, he may set himself up as a dictator, which is exactly what happened. Lenin wrote these warnings in several documents which came to be known collectively as "Lenin's Testament." Stalin had Lenin's secretaries secretly reporting to him everything Lenin did. Stalin learned of the Testament and had it suppressed so that no one beyond certain high Party representatives ever found out about it.
