Position of women under Stalin?
In general, the position of women in the ussr changed for the better. Lenin said that they were "domestic slaves" and that under a Communist regime this could be changed and they could gain greater equality. The communes set up under Stalin allowed daily life to be collectivised which took responsibilties away from women and freed them of duties so they could work in the fields and industries. There were creches available to watch young children and meal times were communal (they were all fed by the commune). Women were seen more in secondary education and took on more intellectual challenges such as driving new complex farming machinery such as tractors and combine harvesters. There is evidence women were not paid as well as men and there were fewer training opportunities but overall there postion improved massively.
Women's rights also improved. Issues such as divorce and abortion became easier to access however by 1941 many rights were taken away from them and abortion was made illegal.

Did Joseph Stalin do anything important for the world?
By "important" I will take the question to refer to something both important and beneficial to the world. About the only item fitting both categories is that he helped win World War 2 against Germany by fighting off Adolph Hitler and the German Army when they invaded Russia. By putting up a successful war effort on Germany's eastern front, Stalin forced Germany to divide its military forces between its fight against Russia in the east and the United States, Great Britain, France and the other Allies in the west.
Aside from that, and this is just personal opinion, the only other important and beneficial thing he did for the world was dying, although that might not really count since he didn't do that intentionally.

What was the impact on Soviet people from Joseph Stalin?
It is easy to conclude that Stalin and Lenin were different but similar at the same time. They were similar for many different reasons. Both Lenin and Stalin were communist rulers of Russia. They both had favored communism and had everything to be government related. They also both practiced undemocratic strategies in order govern the nation. They both wished to have a socialist state and they both aimed to rebuild Russia and were marked by civil war. They both aimed and concentrated greatly to improve the economic system of Russia and tried to make it progress everyday such as the NEP, the New Economic Policy which was by Lenin, and the command economy which was by Stalin. And lastly, they both had good intentions, which was to make Russia the best it could be. So yes they did have similarities but yet they were so different. What was most different between Lenin and Stalin was the way they dealt with situations and they're mentality. This includes war tactics and etc. Lenin first off, did not like Stalin at all and made that clear before he passed away. He said that he had doubts about Stalin's "ambitious nature". Lenin thinks that although Stalin was sharp, he only focused on maintaining a lot of power and was not sure that he was able to use it sufficiently. He also did not think that Stalin was tolerable, loyal, polite, or considerate. The mentality that Stalin uses when he rules was much more different than the mentality that Lenin uses. Stalin uses fear and propaganda to scare the people into following his rules and listening to what he says. He also did not give the people that much freedom such as forcing them to be atheist, and punishing them with cruel punishments. Lenin on the other hand was more considerate, and liked to hear what the people had to say. This is why he supported the Soviet Supreme in which anyone 18 and or older was able to vote and express their opinion to the public. Stalin's rue was marked by cruelty and way and Lenin's was marked with good intentions. Lenin instituted many reforms such as a socialist state and gave peasants land. Stalin did not care for the peasants, and when the peasant upset him he killed thousands and thousands of them. Stalin's motives were different than Lenin's. Stalin had a more socialist perspective on rebuilding the nation, and his tactics on rulings were different than Lenin's as well. Also, Stalin did not have a guilty conscience at all. Lenin had more democratic point of views. Stalin, however, was more of a totalitarian. People described Stalin as more of a dictator because of the way he handled situations. He was very violent and rude, and when he was worried of things not going his way, he handled them in a violent manner and many of the situations with Trotsky, the peasants, and the purge. Although Stalin and Lenin were similar as to their goals as leaders, they were very different when it came to their personalities and who hey dealt with situations.
What was Joseph Stalin's cult of personality?
Throughout the late 1920's and the 1930s propaganda was used to build up Stalin's image. Like a religious worship, a cult of Stalin was formed. Stalin was like a godlike leader to the people, praised in the newspapers, books and in films and posters. Poems published in Pravda praised his deeds, speeches exalting his skills, his modesty, his wisdom and his brilliance. People who attended these meetings were careful to applaud long and loudly, and the person who stopped first would most likely be arrested as it showed great disrespect and disloyalty to Stalin
Stalin's rise to power was methodical and precise. The construction of his image, too, was well thought out. Nearly every medium propagandized Stalin's image. The great tradition of truthful and imaginative literature was cast aside and became a vehicle for promoting Stalin. The new medium of film, for which Stalin had a particular fascination, was also directed towards creating an image of Stalin. Not only in the arts, but in everyday life the physical image of Stalin was ever-present.
To begin with, Stalin was a strong and vivid personality. When he wanted to do, Stalin knew how to charm people. He charmed Gorky and Barbusse. In 1937, the cruelest year of the purges, he managed to charm that tough and experienced observer, Lion Feuchtwanger.
In the second place, in the minds of the Soviet people, Stalin's name was indissolubly linked with Lenin's. Stalin knew how popular Lenin was and saw to it that history was rewritten in such a way as to make his own relations with Lenin seem much more friendly than they had been in fact. The rewriting was so thorough that perhaps Stalin himself believed his own version in the end.
There can be no doubt of Stalin's love for Lenin. His speech on Lenin's death, beginning with the words, "In leaving us, Comrade Lenin has bequeathed . . . " reads like a poem in prose. He wanted to stand as Lenin's heir not only in other people's eyes, but in his own eyes too. He deceived himself as well as the others. Even Pasternak put the two names side by side:
In reality, however, Stalin distorted Lenin's ideas, because to Lenin -- and this was the whole meaning of his work -- communism was to serve man, whereas under Stalin it appeared that man served communism.
