In cultural depictions of the Second World War (films, video games, etc.), Soviet soldiers are often portrayed as being equipped with and utilizing bayonets more than any other army during combat. How accurate is such depiction?

Did the Red Army value more bayonet combat than their counterparts at the time? Was your average Soviet rifleman better trained at utilizing a bayonet than his German enemies?
