I’ve misunderstood Stalinism and maybe it’s not so bad after all (except the purges, the Molotove-Ribbentripp pact and the Holodomor).

This is actually correct, Stalin did sign some awful stuff into law (although it's not the examples you are giving: the worst things are the LGBT ban, rollback on worker's democracy, and NKVD "troika" trials), but also did some pretty solid stuff like industrializing the country, improving employment and poverty rates, and defeating nazis.
