If the US and Allies had not opened the 2nd front against the Germans in WW2, would not the Russians have won the war by themselves, having already defeated the vast majority of German forces in the East?

Nope.
The Soviets were at the end of their rope, they were conscripting 16-year old boys by the end of the war.
Stalin’s private archive shows he planned to stop on the Vistula River in Poland and establish a defensive front there. Once that had been established, he would have made a separate peace with Hitler.

I don’t agree. The Nazis were at the end of their rope too. The British and American presence in Western Europe mostly prevented the Red Army from reaching the English Channel. While the British contribution (which was significant) has been downgraded (by the Americans), the American contribution was about the same as WWI. American industry was enriched with lucrative contracts to supply materiel to Washington’s allies. Britain and Russia only recently finished paying off what they owed the United States for WWII. They borrowed this money to buy American materiel after they had used all their assets (gold, strategic properties and securities). War has always worked well for the United States. What happened to Great Britain and the British Empire? It was sucked dry by Washington and Wall Street. The Russians actually did better than the British. World Wars I & II finished off Washington’s original enemy, Great Britain. Listen to Prime Minister Theresa May. Like most British people — especially Winston Churchill who passionately believed in the "special relationship", May still hasn’t figured it out. Yes, the Communists were paying their war debt to the United States (their enemy) throughout the Cold War and after. Russians are no longer Communists but they are still the enemy as far as Americans are concerned.
