I would suggest that for russia gaining sympathy in Poland is existentially necessary to make serious inroads in building out russia's power in the region.
The reason? Poland has a fuckload of tanks, they have a signicant number of all of the best tanks and heavy armor in the world pretty much... and their army is well trained on them.
Poland has also purchased almost 100 Apache helicopters which themselves could singlehandedly throw a MASSIVE wrench in any plans for future wars russia might have in the region if Poland isn't sympathetic enough to maintain relative neutrality towards russia.
In short, I am not surprised the far right in Poland flirts with russia, russia must be flirting hard with the far right in Poland, they have to, if Poland decides to decisively join an opposing side against them in war, russia is fucked.
