Seriously, the USA+UK and the former USSR have both been rather chilldish by not bothering to express any gratitude. USA and UK tend to downplay the importance of the USSR's role in victory. They never bother to say or imply, "Thank you Russia for saving us from Germany. You stopped them where nobody else could." Russia never bothers to say, "Hey thanks for all the free stuff and thanks for helping out."
