Not much of a paradox here.
Putin is supporting any foreign government or foreign political party which could be regarded as vaguely pro-Russian. Of course, pro-Russian governments/parties are almost always anti-Western or anti-American too. For instance, the most pro-Russian parties in Germany are probably the Left Party, the AfD, and the NPD, even it is only due to anti-Americanism.
Ideologically, the best term to describe Putin would be "national conservative" I guess.
