It would possibly depend upon your definition of "Serfdom", but I believe the 1917 revolution and subsequent overthrow of the Tsar effectively ended Serfdom in Russia by any definition. The pre-revolutionary Russian economy was heavily dependent on free labour, which was augmented by exiled prisoner labour. Earlier attempts at freeing the Serfs during the Romanov Dynasty ended in unpleasantness and the Serfs not being freed.

It was decimated by barbarians until well into the 1500s. After that, Ivan the Terrible helped unite Russia and start a dynasty, but the tzars in power were some of the most oppressive monarchs in all of Europe, and serfdom was still common until almost the 20th century.

No, one had nothing to do with the other. Serfdom was abolished in 1861 although in practical terms, they were not fully freed. World War 2 did not begin until 1939 and even then the Soviet Union was not involved in it. The main cause of WW2 was the imperial intentions of Germany. Germany attacked Russia in order to overthrow the Communist government not to reinstate serfdom. In any event, whether the serfs were free or not, they were a ready source of supply to the country as soldiers and would have been conscripted into the Soviet Army whether or not they were serfs.
