The USSR definitely put in huge work, but at the end of the day, "Stalingrad" was besieged and close to being finished off, German forces were right outside Moscow, and all of Ukraine, Belarus and the Baltics were occupied (aka the most heavily industrialised areas)
The reality is that without the USA committing significant industrial resources to its allies (particularly the lend lease) and keeping the Western front open, the USSR was a matter of months away from being finished off.
The war was not won by only the efforts of the USA or the USSR.
