I think this was only going to be a short term problem for them though as given 10-15 years of occupation there would not have been a lot Russians left to control.

Yes a more concentrated effort on from the U Boats on blockade of Britain would have had a profound effect, but Hitler and Admiral Reader did not have enough U Boats to implement this, and by the time they had started to build up the U Boat fleet, Britain had developed many counter measures and were reading the German orders as quick as the Germans could write them

I agree the cracking of Enigma and the German lack of desire or inability to realise that their codes had been broken was a huge problem for them, I guess that would also bring into question German military intelligence throughout the war as time and again they got it completely wrong.
