From the German experience - a tank division is a part of a larger formation like a tank army (equivalent of a German panzer group/army.) A Soviet war machine could be a T-34 and upgraded to IS-2 as soon it becomes available. It would be supported by self-propelled guns, artillery and an infantry unit for taking the cities. Strong air support is also important, it provides battlefield intelligence and helps to avoid nasty surprises. A recon battalion is useful for knowing who is ahead, helping to avoid situations when a tank division may get ambushed. Air support - the best fighter you have by then, some general bombers and a couple of specialised antitank planes (Il 2). The Soviets also formed mixed mechanized and cavalry forces and, unlike Germans, they had more than one cavalry division.
