      the U.S. performed at least 81 overt and covert known interventions in foreign elections from 1946 to 2000

      the Soviet Union and Russia engaged in 36 interventions in foreign elections from 1946 to 2000

      2.25 times as many interventions, and many of them were wars no where close to US land, while many of the USSR ones listed are directly related to defeating the Nazis and Imperial Japan in WW2.

      During World War II, the Soviet Union helped overthrow many puppet regimes of Nazi Germany and the Empire of Japan, including in East Asia and much of Europe. Soviet forces were also instrumental in ending the rule of Adolf Hitler over Germany.
