While Stalin was primarily known for his dictatorship and terrible atrocities, he also contributed greatly to the economic progress of the Soviet Union during his time as General Secretary. He implemented important industrial and collectivization policies in agriculture, established military mobilization to prepare for potential conflicts, oversaw the development of education and healthcare networks, created infrastructure projects such as railways, and was largely responsible for the transformation of Russia from a backwards agrarian state to an industrial society.

Some good things that Stalin did were nationalizing and centralizing the commanding heights of the Soviet economy, increasing literacy among the Russian population, providing people with access to free healthcare and housing, as well as significantly investing in industrialization and collective farming efforts which led to a rise in agricultural output. He also oversaw strong economic growth from 1945-53 despite WW2 devastation. Furthermore, he worked to increase political liberties for workers by abolishing piecework compensation and establishing wage rates based on state regulation.
