No. He was a dictator that killed millions of people under his regime.
Sadly the answer is many millions. The regime in the USSR under Stalin is rivalled only by the Nazis in their inhuman teatment of people under their jurisdiction.
It is possible that Stalin could have continued it and industrialized under it, but it was too hard already under his current Communist regime. The NEP and its underlying capitalist values just could not let Stalin's power remain as effective.
Hitler was a dictator, he wanted the throne to be only his. while Stalin wanted Russia to be a democratic country.
Trotsky characterizes the Soviet regime under Stalin as a bureaucratic and oppressive totalitarian state that betrays the original ideals of the Bolshevik Revolution. He argues that Stalin's leadership is marked by a consolidation of power, suppression of dissent, and the prioritization of state control over workers' democracy. Trotsky views Stalinism as a degenerated workers' state that has abandoned the principles of international socialism, leading to a repressive regime that maintains power through fear and coercion.
Stalin’s rule in the USSR was clearly totalitarian, but he didn’t establish it as much as continue with the existing system that he took over.

Siberia
Many of the Mongol conquerers of Russia settled in their new country. Eventually they became known as Tatars and lived in the Crimea. Joseph Stalin found them to be objectionable and they were persecuted and displaced under Stalin's regime.

Joseph V. Stalin and Leon Trotsky
The leader of the totalitarian regime based on communist philosophy was Joseph Stalin, who ruled the Soviet Union from the mid-1920s until his death in 1953. Under his leadership, the state implemented extensive political purges, collectivization of agriculture, and industrialization efforts, often accompanied by widespread repression and terror. Stalin's regime aimed to consolidate power and promote a centralized economy based on Marxist-Leninist principles.
