The depth of anti-communist feeling in the Vietnamese community, which includes many military veterans and former government officials, meant that it has always leaned strongly Republican. While Asian Americans as a whole voted 2 to 1 for Joe Biden over Trump, Vietnamese Americans supported Trump over Biden, 57 percent to 41 percent. A deep animus toward China, amplified by misinformation in Vietnamese-language media, bolsters the support for a president they see as tougher on foreign policy. This dovetailed with their anticommunism.

I'm fairly sure this is less "pro-Russia" and more "anti-large-new-devastated-member-causing-Poland-to-get-a-far-smaller-slice-of-the-EU-funds-pie".

While Law & Justice's [sic] tendencies overlap with Putin's a lot, IIRC they've been consistently anti-Russia, especially as it's a personal beef now since the party boss's brother was killed in the Smolensk air disaster, which he seems to blame on Putin.
