Numerous ways.

The Soviet Union was a major factor in WWII.

Early in the war in Europe, Adolph Hitler and Germany maintained a commitment to avoiding a confrontation with the Soviet Union. This would change as it became evident to the German command that an eastern front was inevitable. Germany then launched an attack on the Soviet empire and even on Russia itself.

This was a huge burden on the German fighting machine, and the commitment drew huge amounts of resources away from the German fighting effort in Western Europe and in other areas of the world such as North Africa.
