People always have to be careful what they say when living under a Dictatorship. Some dictators are tougher than others (this is the polite way of saying it); Stalin was tough (again being polite), quite possibly the toughest Soviet Leader in the USSR's history. Anyone saying the wrong words in his land, might end up in the Gulog (Soviet Prisons) or worse.

Why did Russians like Stalin?
Not all of them. Some, who were opponents of earlier communist regimes did, but others viewed him as a tyrant. Others thought that if he hadn't been the leader of the USSR, World War II might not have been won and that he was a good leader. And yes, he led purges against his own people.
What were Joseph Stalin's notable achievements?
Stalin's greatest achievement is the Soviet and Allied victory over Hitler, who was an even more odious monster from our Western perspective - consider the extermination of Jews and Gypsies and the list of persons to be murdered by the Germans, that Hitler had prepared, for every major city in North America upon German invasion. Except for the British defensive victory in the air in the Battle of Britain, prior to his defeat in Russia Hitler's armies acting like locusts, like locusts seemed unstopable and invincible. Countries were collapsing after a short fight or coming over to his side out of this perception of Hitler' invincibility; France for instance. Under Stalin's indomitable willpower, the Russians were fighting the Germans to the bitter end, wearing them out and later breaking them. By stopping and defeating the Germans before Moscow in 1941, Stalin had showed the world that the Germans were not invincible. By late 1942 under his steel-willed leadership, the Russians broke the German army in Stalingrad; broke is a small word, they killed over 50% of the 6th Army. After that the majority of the people of the Allied powers and of the countries conquered by the Germans believed that the Germans will be defeated, before Stalingrad, they only hoped for victory. None of that, of course, excuses Stalin's great crimes.
