Russia was decimated, 20 million dead, and those are the ones Stalin didn't kill, most of their territory was in ruins, not to mention half their equipment was built from steel and raw resources we gave them. Plus they didn't develope a nuke until 1949, that nuclear ability is what gave them "world power" status, aside from that they were barely above poverty level. So no, they weren't in the same league as the US at the end of WW2, reguardless of what they like to claim.
