Let me give some context here: after half a century of demonization since Khrushchev’s XX Congress, Stalin had been fully rehabilitated by 2008 under Putin - EXCEPT for the bas-relief (removed in 1966) in the Taganskaya Station on the Circle Line! It only took another 17 years.
Now that the symbolic restoration is complete, will we see his ideas returning? I’m not so sure about that. Still too many libs in Russia.
