In fact, the opposite is true, during his rule, Stalin concentrated more power in the hands of the Soviet State, and used this power to oppress the people in many ways. One example of this were the gulags: forced-labor concentration camps located in Siberia where Stalin sent people who he thought were enemies of the states, from journalists, to intellectuals, to artists, to businessmen, to even common farmers.
