Yes, during Stalin's reign, Russia lost most aspects of their liberty. Stalin's policies of collectivization, industrialization, and political repression led to the suppression of civil liberties, such as freedom of speech, press, and assembly. The government controlled all forms of media, and dissent was not tolerated. The secret police were also used to eliminate any potential opposition or dissidents. Additionally, Stalin's purges resulted in the imprisonment and execution of millions of people who were perceived as a threat to his regime. Overall, Stalin's reign severely restricted the personal and political freedoms of Russian citizens.
