Why is Stalin becoming more popular in Russia?

In recent years, people's attitudes toward Stalin in Russia have changed very much. According to surveys in 2001, 43% of Russians reacted negatively to Stalin, and in 2018 - only 12%. Acceptance of the view that Stalin is guilty of killing millions of innocent people dropped from 62% in 2016 to 44% in 2018. Today, more than half of Russians are sympathetic towards Stalin. Why is this happening?
