Well, there is a hair to split here...
Korean war began on June 25, 1950, and ended with a ceasefire on July 27, 1953. Joseph Stalin, to whom you are probably referring as "the Communist dictator of USSR", died on March 5, 1953, before the end of the war. So technically, there was more than one Soviet leader presiding during the Korean war. And that's where it gets a little complicated...
Stalin simultaneously held to high-power positions; he was the General Secretary of the Communist Party's Central Committee (i.e., the leader of the Communist Party) and the Chairman of the Council of People's Commissioners (i.e., the head of the Soviet executive branch). After he died, Nikita Khrushchev succeded him as the General Secretary, while the Chairman's job went to Georgy Malenkov.
