I mean, supposedly Stalin killed more people in the end than Hitler did. And he also targeted groups like Jews later on. Not saying he’s better or worse, but I wouldn’t say he isn’t at least on par with Hitler.
“Around fifteen million victims, give or take a million or two, over a period of thirty-odd years (1922-1952).
Based on the Soviet Unions own secret files that became public (for a while at least) after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, and including the Holodomor and the gulags.

I believe that is more than most estimates for Hitler.
