@kalmansovari6878 Helped? You meant sold goods for gold? And not sold something own. As example most of food (e.g. famous beef in cans) and some resources US bought in Latin America and just resold to USSR with increased price. Moreover, you can find how some of that supplies soviet saboteurs exploded... Do you know why? Because US sold them not only to USSR, but also to fascists in Spain (USSR was only one country which fought in Spain against fascists else from 1936), which then supplied Reich. So, American cans you could find both in german and soviet trenches. Also in same way until 1944 US supplied Reich with fuel.
Help in strong word. Mongolia helped, it for free supported Soviets with everything what it had, it was poor country, but as example they gave almost all own horses (need to understand, that horse is everything for they — food, transport, home, wealth), but they anyway gave almost all (in 1938 USSR protected Mongolians from Japanese invasion in two small wars). Helped people, ordinary Americans which sent own money/clothes, but not US as state, US made business (I can remind to you proposal of Truman: “let’s help Germans if they lose, and Soviets if they, so more will die”).
All supplies from USA represent 8% of Soviet economic.
