The Soviet Union ended up fighting on the same side as the Allies during World War II primarily due to Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, which shattered the Nazi-Soviet non-aggression pact. Faced with a common enemy, the USSR joined forces with the Allies, including the United States and the United Kingdom, to combat the Axis powers. This alliance was largely pragmatic, as the survival of the Soviet state was at stake, despite the ideological differences between the communist USSR and the capitalist Allies.

After Germany invaded the USSR, the allies added them to their "allies".

It did not. In 1939 the Soviet Union had a non-agression pact with Germany which led to the invasion of Poland; a British ally. Not surprisingly, the Soviet Union was seen as a possible enemy, but there was no fighting between Britain and the Soviet Union. When Germany violated the pact and invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, Britain and the Soviet Union found themselves fighting on the same side against Germany, although they were far from the best of friends. After World War 2 they were adversaries again in the Cold War, but still they did not fight, at least not openly.
