Whilst it is not easy to find many good things to say about Stalin – deaths of millions, having his close comrades arrested & shot, abandoning one wife and so humiliating his second wife that she commits suicide and his reaction to his son's capture by the Nazis – he did one thing that everyone in the World should be grateful for; he defeated the Nazis.
True many other countries were involved, but the Soviets absorbed the greatest blow, and, largely through her own efforts, kicked them all the way back to Berlin. Had Stalin's Five Year Plans not involved the mobilisation of the entire country, and had he been too moralistic to use prisoners (effectively slaves) to build the new factories, then WWII would have ended very differently.
Also without this massive industrialisation, coupled with education and health programmes, then much of Russia and the former Soviet countries would be illiterate and poverty stricken rural places.
One other good thing that came out of Stalin's rule was the total discrediting of Stalinism as a political system. After Khrushchev's 1956 Secret Speech was published around the World, support for Communist ideas fell away sharply, never to fully recover.

I don't know! Maybe murdering millions? Subjugating millions more? Depends on your idea of positive?
