That was under Lenin, just to be clear. In a way Stalin saved Russia and later the world in WWII. What happened in Russia from 1917 until 1922 and after is truly terrible and it was one of the first "Colored revolutions" which are still happening to this day. Most people died of hunger, because communists took the seeds from the farmers/peasants (also there were first bio wars there, foreign powers involved). It's not that simple and can't be explained in couple of posts. Historia magistra vitae est. To truly understand current events, you must go deep in history and really understand subject. The main problem is to find the truthful sources. After that it's like a puzzle, you just put pieces together.

unfortunately, the Russians have been victims for a long time...
but Russia's broad soul, their modesty and goodness, are the light at the end of the tunnel for the whole world (except, of course, the ubiquitous fifth column)...

to be properly understood - I think the number of dead that can be attributed directly to Stalin is greatly exaggerated...
in any case, even then, as now, there was a struggle of good against evil...
who is good and who is evil - this is in the hands of the last judgment...
God's will...
