Russia didn’t beat Germany, the US beat both Germany and Russia. Sure we had help from our allie’s, but it was our production that won the war. Both Brezhnev and Khrushchev said Russia was beat and if it wasn’t for US aid (pre lend/lease) then lend/lease they would have collapsed. What people don’t understand or were taught we gave Russia, planes, clothes, weapons, trucks, food, fuel, trains, we even sent a complete tire plant over. We gave them raw materials, steel the actual list of what was sent is absolutely insane.
