No, Hitler broke it when he unexpectedly invaded the Soviet Union.
Why was Joseph Stalin in exile?
2 reasons I can think of - 1) Stalin was paranoid and did some of it to consolidate his power
2) Some of it was also to force Russia into a Modern Communist economy. For example, he purged the Kulaks (wealthy peasants) so that the government could take control of the peasants and collectivize their farms.
Where did Joseph Stalin go after he died?
I looked up the answer to this and found an interesting history. After his death in 1953 he was embalmed and his remains were put on display next to Lenin's body. There he remained for 8 years and when Khrushchev took over in 1958 he spear headed a movement to tell the true story about Stalin and the millions he killed. Finally, in 1961 his body was removed and buried with other leaders of the revolution next to the Kremlin wall half hidden by trees. It has a simple grave stone with his name.

Why did Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili changed his name to Joseph Stalin?
Jughashvili meant "Son of Jew" while Stalin meant "steel" he did not change his first name as the English name Joseph in Georgian is Ioseb. If could be the fact that he didn't want to be associate with Jews as he was anti-Semitic or according to anti-Semite he was a Jew and communists are secret Jewish anarchists who plan on destroying all civilizations on Earth and establish a single world government (controlled by Jews)... yeah I would go with the former rather than the latter as the same people said Hitler was a Jew and the Holocaust never occured.
----Correction----
Jughashvili does not mean "Son of Jew." The -shvili ending in the Georgian language does mean "son of," but the words for "Jew" are Ebraeli or Iudeli, depending on variety of meaning. (The latter term is more general and less Biblical.)
Jugha is the Armenian name for a city in current-day Azerbaijan. Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia are all republics in the Caucasian mountains. Stalin's family name may come from this root, although it's also been suggested that the name derives from a Georgian village called Jugaani.
Stalin changed his name in order to take a nom de guerre. This is in keeping both with the desire to keep one step ahead of the secret police, but also because, in Leninist theory, the party vanguard membership is largely to be kept anonymous. Stalin's byname does mean "man of steel." Other Russian revolutionaries took bynames, e.g., Ulyanov became Lenin, Bronstein became Trotsky, Skryabin became Molotov, and so on. Lenin mean "dweller on the Lena River"; Molotov means "hammer." Trotsky took the name of the warden where he was jailed after the 1905 revolution as a tease after he successfully escaped.
Stalin was also known as "Koba" (a Georgian folk hero) before being called "Stalin." Before being expelled, he was a seminarian at a Russian Orthodox school in Tbilisi. There is zero evidence for Jewish heritage on Stalin's part

In what way was totalitarianism a cause of World War 2?
There were several totalitarian government takeovers in the 20s and 30s leading up to WW2. Mussolini established the Fascist party in Italy and forcibly took over there. Hitler forced his way into German government. Stalin, despite Lenin's pleas to keep him out of power, took control of the USSR. And Tojo forced his way into power in Japan through a military coup.
These 4 were power hungry and land hungry and most definitely totalitarian dictators. Since these 4 were the cause of WW2 i would say that is why totalitarianism is a cause of World War 2
What political position did Joseph Stalin hold?
He was (1) General Secratary of the Communist Party, (2) Chairman for the Council of Ministers, and (3) People's Commissar for the Defence of the Soviet Union.
