After all, the Soviet Union fought Germany without fighting Japan.

Not entirely accurate.
If memory serves me right, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan before the end of hostilities in WWII.

August 6 - First atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

August 8 - The Soviet Union declare war on Japan and invades Manchuria.

August 9 - Second atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki.

August 14 - Japan agrees to unconditional surrender with the understanding that the emperor Hirohito will stay.

Frankly, I don't think the USSR was a great deal of help in the war. LOL
