Stalin was a psychopath that would do anything (including genocide of large parts of his own population) to maintain his hold on power.
His interest was not in running an effective government.
His apparent lack of loyalty to even his own relatively small ethnic group (after he had ascended to imperial power and left them behind) isn't surprising.
Nazis/fascists (along with western "liberal-capitalists" that were the natural enemies of fascists) had good reasons to fear insane soviet communism, and the fact that some of those reasons were picked up in the capitalist media in the west isn't particularly relevant as far as I can tell, but maybe you can explain how I'm wrong about that.
(I've got to log off, update software and run an errand, sorry if I don't get back to any response you might post until later.)
