The conception many people (at least in America) seem to have of the USSR in WW2 is that they just kind of sucked ass and died a lot and were losing, until USA did a Lend-Lease and shipped them a bunch of Autobot trucks that turned into Optimus Prime and ran over all the Nazis, and then the Soviets just sexually assaulted everybody that was left.
I'm kinda joking, but also this is genuinely how most people seem to think that shit went down now.
