The German invasion of the Soviet Union was unsustainable, and Hitler and his generals knew that. Attrition would have worn down the Wehrmacht to the point where they would be pushed out of the Soviet Union entirely. Without Allied support, however, I can't see the Soviets making particularly large gains into Germany. I'd call it a close victory for the USSR.

Jesus damn, no.

There's a reason that it took the better part of four years to evict the Wehrmacht from Mother Russia.

While attrition and logistics did in the conquest of Russia, the Germans came || this close to Moscow (there's giant tank traps just outside of Moscow to commemorate how close the Germans were).

It wasn't until '43 until the Red Army finally had its shit together, and seized the operational initiative. Lend-lease enabled this in large part, by the way: American and British planes, tanks, and most importantly American 2.6 ton trucks, enabled the Russians to throw as much material at the Germans as they did.

Yeah, German units outran their supply and railheads regularly, and they still almost got Moscow in 1941:

By 28 November, the German 7th Panzer Division had seized a bridgehead across the Moscow-Volga Canal—the last major obstacle before Moscow—and stood less than 35 km (22 mi) from the Kremlin

WP's sourcing Glantz for that.
