No he was not. Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin (1878 - 1953) was a great leader. He had great leadership skills and through him, the Soviets managed to stop Hitler and the Nazis almost single handedly. He was a man of steel. A man with a future. He led the Soviets through dark times, making great agricultural and industrial achievements. Under him, the Soviets economy nearly grew by 1000%. He made the Soviets a Superpower and after WWII - the greatest nation on the planet. Communism in Russia had started in 1917 but by WWII, Russia was a new nation. Thanks to Stalin, the Soviets had the strongest armed forces with well over 20 million Red Army troops (not like the heavily paid 'mercenaries' the Western World now have). Everybody in Russia believed in Stalin...They knew that he was a great leader.
He killed a few thousands of his own men as they were planning to assassinate him. A few people did not support Stalin due to his great plans - success always brings hatred in others. Stalin was a born leader - a man who made Russia great.
