Why didn't Stalin want people to leave Russia causing him to put up the Iron Curtain?

The Iron Curtain was a rhetorical device in a Churchill speech. He said, "From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the Continent." By this he meant that no one could leave the countries that were to the east of that line.
There wasn't actually a huge metal curtain between the West and East.
Stalin didn't want anyone to leave the Soviet Union because he knew everyone would leave. He knew communism is not a popular system of government.
