Strategically Hitler wanted Soviet Union/Russia as German colony, provider of food and raw materials as well as "living space" for German people, while considering Russian people inferior to Germans.
He also wanted defeat Soviet Union as stronghold of communism, since Nazi ideology was violently anticommunist.
Tactically in 1940 Hitler was annoyed by Soviet Union ambitions in Europe, and he fought that defeat of Soviet Union would convince Great Britain's to start peace talks. Arguing that Great Britain doesn't surrender because it's trying to play Soviet Union against Germany, he decided to destroy Soviet Union, but was defeated by Russian resistance.
