Oh, and it's also worth noting, The US wanted Russia to declare war on Japan... up until right before they dropped the bombs.
So whether it was a deciding factor or not, Truman thought it would be.
Arguably Russia only declared war to get their share of war spoils after the Nuclear Bombs were dropped.
In a way, you could argue the nuclear bombs caused the russian invasion.
