This just isn't true. The myth of the endless "Asiatic hordes" and the "human wave attack" (a tactic the Soviets didn't really use) is mostly postwar propaganda, a way to save face by German generals in later accounts to their Cold War allies.
I suggest you read "The Myth of the Eastern Front" for more debunking of false narratives about this, as well as any of Col. David Glantz books on the Eastern Front.
The Soviets didn't win the war because they were numberless. They won it because Germany never had any hope of taking their territory, and because they learned fast and outmaneuvered and out fought the Germans.
