What were the main results of the Great Patriotic War?

After Germany surrendered (May 9, 1945), the Great Patriotic War ended. The Soviet Union won. Thus, Europe was able to free itself from Nazi Germany and bring Hitler’s totalitarian regime to its knees. True, this war killed a lot of people and destroyed many cities. In this connection, the main task after the war was to rebuild destroyed cities, bridges and roads. True, the post-war period was no less difficult than the war itself. In 1946-1947 there was a big crop failure, which had a very negative impact on the citizens of the USSR.
