How much did information and designs that Klaus Fuchs stole from the Manhattan Project help the Soviets build their own bomb?

A lot, though the information was not so critical as to be the only reason the Soviets developed a bomb.

Richard Rhodes (probably the most authoritative historian on the nuclear programs) said that the test data and blue prints that Fuchs stole cut somewhere around a year off the Soviet program, as there was still many mathematical and technical problems to solve outside the physical construction of the bomb.
