That's the thing, you think that because they keep saying they like their country more than the others, a foreign leader who hates and want harms to their country would be their enemy.

The truth is (1) they get a boner for the authoritarian way Putin leads Russia and (2) Putin treats them well because he knows that strengthening those parties weaken the country they're in.

Also Putin hates EU, and they hate EU. The difference is that Putin hates EU because he knows that European countries are stronger together.

And it is not only Putin who loves this. Other Dictators also love to see the rise of extremists in Europe.
