This is an opinion type question.
The USSR made a great contribution to the defeat of Germany, however it is not true that they made a bigger contribution to the victory than all the other Allied nations.
In fact, from August 1939 through June 22, 1941 the USSR was an ally of Hitler's Germany, and supplied much of Germany's food requirements! Even after the USSR was attacked by Germany, the USSR was not very cooperative with the other Allied Powers, and sometimes obstructive. They were also involved in the murder of Polish (Allied) military officers.
The USSR suffered the most casualties of any Allied Power, fielded the largest Allied Army, and engaged the largest part of the German Army. However its contribution in terms of strategic airpower, seapower, logistics & economy were smaller than the western Allies. The USSR did not fight the Japanese until August 1945, when the Japanese were already defeated.

Allied naval blockade of German ports were causing hardship to German citizens and hampering Germany's war effort. However, from the various naval battles with the Royal Navy, the Imperial German Navy had learned that it can not defeat the Allied on surface battle. Hence the aims of lifting Allied naval blockade on German ports and crippling the shipping bloodline of British Empire can not be achieved without the use of submarines. However, normal submarine warfare where U-boats have to surface and reveal its presence before searching and attacking is deemed to be too cumbersome, hence the use of unrestricted submarine warfare.
