Not by outsiders but Stalin executed many many officers and enlisted after the war. It was almost as bad as the purges before the war.
About 2 million soviet prisoners of war were executed by Stalin. They begged to stay in the west but the allies agreed to send them back to Stalin.
Many wounded and crippled were sent to Novaya Zemlya and basically left there to die. If you want to find this island, look at Russia on the map and then look for the large white island north of it in the arctic circle. Novaya Zamlya means new world. It was supposed to be a new start for them.
So, no trials, just executions and exile done internally.

Not for war crimes.
There were a certain number of POW's tried for treason or other trumped up charges and executed. There were any number of Nazi sympathizers tried for crimes against the state and executed. There were White Cossacks handed back to the Russians, by the British, and all these people and families were just murdered by the Soviet Government. Then there was a purge of the military officers for various charges with many sentenced to death.

Nope, they were celebrated (today acutally) for winning. Check out Red Army atrocities online. (wikipedia has some great stuff) They raped, pillaged, plundered and murdered there way across Eastern Europe then annexed a great protion of it but since they were on the winning side who cared?

Winners of war are seldom seriously charged with any form of war crimes.....this is usually reserved for those who have lost the war.

As I recall, they won.
The Red Army had upwards of 20,000,000 men.
Who was going to put them on trial?
