I agree that the citizens of the USSR suffered greatly during WW2 but be made a deal with the Devil by having Stalin as an ally.

After the Germans broke their non-agression pact with the Russians, the attack on Stalingrad resulted in a devastating loss of men and material for the Axis, which helped us in the European invasion. The mistake we made was political and was partly caused by FDR's misguided admiration for Stalin as a great leader.
Maybe we should have listened to Patton and turned east after VE Day and kept fighting. Sure would have saved a lot of grief - plus, the Blazers may have had Sabonis earlier when he still had knees.
