A microscopic picture of the ``preparation'' of a crystal to the transition to liquid state at the approach to melting temperature is proposed. Basing on simple crystallogeometric considerations and the analysis of the computational results for corresponding anharmonic characteristics an evaluation is given for the magnitude of atomic displacements leading to the appearance of close packed Bernal pseudonuclei in the solid phase. A physical meaning of the classical Lindeman criterion and the mechanisms of the formation of free volume in the crystal phase are discussed.
