Any criticisms of Stalin? (lemmygrad.ml)

Given that this community has generally positive view of Stalin, I'm curious what he did that my comrades find irredeemable or out of line. Since it's easy to criticize the Soviet Union from a western perspective, bonus points if you explain how this was detrimental to the development of socialism and/or communism.

I will criticize Stalin in that I think he shouldn't have made abortion illegal after the Russian Revolutionary era Recovery years.

I understand he wanted more soldiers to fight fascism, and I appreciate that the Soviet authorities allowed millions of exceptions in cases of rape and incest and life-threatening situations, but regardless.

I also understand that Darwinism was often used as an excuse for scientific racism, and I don't think that Lysenko did nothing of value, but Stalin shouldn't have rejected genetics and Darwinian evolution as fast or as hard as he did.
