I don't know where you are getting that from, but it simply isn't true. Yes some supplies came into the USSR through Murmansk and Archangel. But that was never a whole lot compared to Soviet industrial output. Early in the war the Soviets moved many of their factories east of the Ural mountains and by the end of they war they had been producing steadily. For example the Soviets manufactured roughly 80,000 T-34 tanks during the war. Only 1400 ships or so made the arctic convoy run and those that did could never have carried anything near that many tanks.
