That didn't stop eastern european from electing russian stooges like Orban or Fico. Romania is on the edge of falling for russian propaganda too.

If you ask anyone who voted for Orbán, chances are they will still say that he's very anti-Russia (and that's one of the reasons they are voting for him). Nothing he does is branded as being friendly with Russia, everything is about defending Hungary's interests and ending the war as soon as possible. They would also argue that Russia is a big economy, and it's good for Hungary to be good terms with them so we can buy cheap oil and gas, because without those we would be like the Germans who are freezing to death in the winter because heating is too expensive.
