Who could have been an Iranian "Stalin"?

I guess it's very unlikely, but if somehow Iran becomes a communist state in between 1910 to 1930, who could be the possible autocratic leader of Iran, similar in politics and tyrannism to Stalin?

Haydar Khan Amo-oghli? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haydar_Khan_Amo-oghli Like the young Stalin, he was a left-wing terrorist from a minority (Azerbaijan) nationality...

Alternatively, maybe the Bolsheviks manage to convert Kuchak Khan instead of alienating him? https://www.alternatehistory.com/fo...e-gilan-soviet-republic.339145/#post-10125223
