You give credit to Russia for defeating Hitler, rather than Britain and the US. Interesting. First, it was the USSR, not Russia, and at that time it was led by a Georgian, not a Russian. Second, the USSR did not come to Europe's aid voluntarily. It made a separate peace with Nazi Germany to be able to take a big piece of Poland. Germany broke the treaty by invading The Soviet Union, leaving it no choice but to enter the war on the side of the allies. American aid was vital in helping the SU stay in the war, long before Normandy. The US entered the war to free Europe and restore the countries to independence and democracy. The USSR entered the war to defend itself and to grab land in Eastern Europe, including East Germany. After the war, the US gave great financial assistance to rebuild Europe, including West Germany, and left western Europe to govern itself. The USSR imposed its will on Eastern Europe, and enslaved millions of people for several decades. If you can't see the difference, then you don't want to.
