How would Russia have fared without American supplies? American industry supplied Russia with 427,000 trucks, 13 million pairs of boots, 5 million tons of foods, 2000 locomotives, 11,0000 freight carriages and 540,000 tons of rails. (SOURCE:"The Second World War", Keegan, page 218).
Russia freed itself. Everyone else it "freed" was stuck behind the iron curtain for 45 years.

You're also ignoring the entire Pacific War and the defeat of the Germans in Western Europe. How much did Russia contribute there?
