I think you forgot the only Bond movies who dealt with direct Soviet threats were : - From Russia With Love (Rosa Klebb secretly works for SPECTRE but is a KGB operative so let's count it) - Octopussy (vilain's a defector) - The Living Daylights (defector also) It's in Goldeneye that is created the idea that James Bond constantly fought the Soviets. I don't fault you for thinking that it's an easy thing to illustrate your point, but I like my James Bond and I like him because he's always fighting weirdo rich assholes, not the Soviets.
