Russia, the Soviet Union, acted in self-defense, they were miitarily attacked by Nazi Germany in the so-called Operation Barbarossa. Thus they were propelled into fighting back. Nazi Germany was the aggressor here. Russia was on the Allied side in BOTH World Wars, and received massive foreign aid from the US. This aid extended to non-military goods such as railroad equipment, Half-Tracks by Allis-Chalmers (In War I) and all manner of machine tools and industrial equipment, in most cases never paid for by the Russians.
