Well heres the answer to the easy one.
It was General winter and the exhaustion of the German troops and equipment that blunted the German drive. However it was the fresh Troops that Stalin was able to pull out of Siberia, that thwarted the Germans final effort before the gates of Moscow. He was able to do that because he had a spy in the German embassy named Sorge that told him that the Japanese were going to attack the US and that they weren't going to attack the USSR. Sorge was later caught and executed in 1944.
Thats part one....
