A fine can of worms, framert! I have time only for a limited search, but here goes, FWIW.
This is a complicated matter, and payments are still being made *today*! The Lend Lease debt is being taken as a component within a larger debt context. Bear with me, please!
First of all, here's the second agreement text. The first agreement was made before Pearl Harbor, so it was very restrictive and not so significant. See especially Articles V through VII.

Then from Encarta here's another inkling at
http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_...end-lease.html . The last paragraph reads: "Except for the Soviet debt, of which less than one-third was repaid, repayment was virtually complete by the late 1960s. The U.S., in 1972, accepted an offer by the Soviet Union to pay $722 million in installments through 2001 to settle the indebtedness."
Then in the Pacific Northwest Center for Global Security is more data on Russian current debt, see
http://pnwcgs.pnl.gov/Initiatives/DebtFigs.htm
"Currently, Russia's total external debt (below) is estimated at $130.1 bn. Approximately 50% of this debt dates from the Soviet era. About $2.7 bn of this Soviet era debt is owed the U.S., with $480.5 mn in the form of Lend-Lease debt dating from WWII."
In any case, this is a fraught process, subject to the vagaries of Cold War policies. See
http://www.security-policy.org/papers/1991/91-D101.html
"one of the side letters accompanying the Trade Agreement states that upon the extension of MFN to the Soviet Union, the USSR will begin to repay the $674 million owed to the United States through the Lend Lease program - payments which were suspended in 1974."
In any case, a la Kai's Interesting Fact series
here are some Lend Lease figures through April 1944, from Alexander Werth, "Russia at War 1941-45". I'm sure we have seen this list somewhere.
