That was a private initiative in the 1930s, when the Soviets realized that they couldn't handle the task themselves. The U.S. Government had nothing to do with it.

Let's not forget the disruptions caused by the relocation of Soviet industry eastward to the Urals.

The Soviets took most of the ground fighting, but they didn't have to fight an air campaign and a sea campaign as well. Overall it balances out.
