It doesn't matter what Russia actually is. They play both sides with their propaganda. Old people who thought positively about communism still support Russia.
Fico and Babiš for example were both communist party members and both pro-Russia politicians today.
oh no, they see very clearly, to the West it's a (more or less) rule-based order and to the East it's a might-makes-right one, so they having acquired their power and money in a not entirely legal way, naturally are drawn to the east.
edit: ah you mean the old people? not really, no, it's just pure propaganda, it doesn't have to make sense.
