I think you are wrong. Most of the people loved him wholeheartedly, even many of those who were repressed (they saw it not as Stalin's fault, but as some kind of mistake). There were few of those whom we used to call dissidents.
And don't forget, for common folk Stalin was the leader who reconstructed the country from ashes after the Civil War (there was a huge industrial growth) and who won the recent and most terrible war in which almost every Soviet family lost somebody.
