This broad overarching claim about Russia being the primary reason ALL british colonies went independent is extremely speculative and not based in facts. If you do research their are no respectable sources that confirm this information.

The decolonization of the British Empire was a complex process influenced by a combination of factors, including the rise of colonial nationalism, Britain's weakened position after World War II, and Cold War dynamics involving both the United States and the Soviet Union. If you read the following articles covering these respective topics, you can see how they all played a factor in decolonization.
