32...Ra8!
Black is going to start his decisive attack by playing Ra2 and Qa7. Black's attack is promising as he has great control over central squares, and active bishops that are aiming at white's king.

According to Botvinnik, black is planning to take on f4 and after white plays gxf4 to cover e5, black can exhchange bishops by Bh3 to weaken e4; therefor, playing Nc8 is not just to defend c7 from the 7th rank, but to clear the e file to attack e4.
