Not sure why the need to speak of Zionism. The Russians most definitely suffered worse than most and they were a bigger influence in the timing of the outcome than the U.S. once the Russian production heated up. It took both the U.S. and Russia to win. It is also very likely that Russia's pronouncement of war against Japan played into Japanese reasoning into an immediate surrender to the U.S. Two bombs did put pressure on, however - do the readings. And the why the Russians announced when they did - a deal with FDR that Truman didn't follow through upon. That deal may have ushered in a smaller Soviet block - who knows, except that FDR had already ceded Poland. What ifs are just that; what was and not spoken about is rewriting history.
