How many Soviets fought in the Pacific campaigns, such as Okinawa, Tarawa, the Philippines, and Iwo Jima?
Well, how many Americans fought the Japanese in Manchuria?
How many Americans fought in Yugoslavia?
Did any Soviet armies fight in Africa, the Middle East, or Italy?
You mean the battles that were barely a blip on the radar compared to what happened on the Eastern front? But yes, matter of fact, USSR and UK invaded Iran together.
How big was their strategic bombing campaign against Germany?
Large enough. USSR has started bombing Berlin two weeks after it entered WW2. Two years earlier than the Americans that were - as 20 years earlier - quite late to the party. You didn't know that?
Did you know that 30-40% of the heavy tanks helping to defend Moscow at the Battle of Moscow in 1941 were Lend Lease material?
Which was paid for in gold and for decades after the war. That was just business, nothing more.
