Just no my dude, that is not the case at all. In most western nations the right has been getting stronger and more powerful for years now, just think of Trump getting elected as president of the USA or of the right wing governments that have been ruling in Italy for many years now. In Germany the right wing AfD party has the best polls since they were founded. The west is clearly drifting more and more to the right and has been for many years now. Russia has been supporting and amplifying that trend by financing right wing groups and by spreading propaganda and conspiracy theories. How anyone could get the idea the west would be leftist when considering what has been going on in the world during the last years completely evades me.
