Simplest way to do it would be a three pronged strike. One from the East, in Kamchatka, and two from the West (one from Scandanavia, the North; the other from Greece/Turkey, the South). Army Group East launches attacks first into Kamchatka, then digs deeper. As the Soviets fall back. the troops dig in to defensive positions. Then Army Group North strikes, forcing the Soviets to split their forces; the real attack comes from Army Group South, where it is much warmer. The Allies quickly take over the Black Sea, use it as a supplies base, then strike Northwards. With the Soviet forces in the far north and east, it will take days if not weeks to move enough soldiers to form an effective defense. AGS moves up and meets up with AGN, forcing the Soviet troops into the Urals. AGE then pulls back to Kamchatka where it is easy for them to be resupplied. The newly made AGW doesn't even have this problem; the Black Sea has all the supplies they need. Once Winter is over, the Soviet government will be in serious trouble, food wise, and militarily. AGE and AGW then move in to the Urals, sealing off the Soviets from any supplies of food or such. Heavy bombing raids now commence. At this point, the people and army, both badly starved, will overthrow the government.

This has three implicit assumptions; A) widespread international support B) the absence of Nuclear devices in either nation C) American war readiness.
