Why is there support for Russia on the far right?
Those remaining true to the GOP establishment remember Putin as a vicious and sadistic thug working for the Soviet government and realize he hasn't changed.
However, the 74 million+ cultists idolize their leader, trump, and he idolizes Putin (and Kim Jong un). The trump cultists have no choice but to worship Putin as they worship trump.

BertramN, FYI, I'm farther right than anybody else here who's been around for 12 years, which includes a couple of years of absence when my husband of 44 years passed away too soon. It took me a couple of years to get over and come back here, at which time I forgot the new "password" I was given before he died, so I had to get a new name and a password I could remember. I had still kept up with the news, and I was still "far right," as you call it. Even so, when you said "Why is there support for Russia on the far right?" that rings no bells at all in my experience. The one time my husband and I visited Russia on an alumni trip, it had elements of friendship and unbelievable betrayal of trust included in our experience there. My career in fiber art was well established by then. I loved seeing the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, and I'm certain it is one of the world's best-thought art museums that had unique artifacts such as one of the only surviving paintings/sculptures created by Leonardo Da Vinci, and almost as many Rembrandts as the Van Rijn Museum in Amsterdam, Holland dedicated to showing Rembrand's paintings, almost exclusively. I was very, very impressed with the staff of the Hermitage as I watched them telling a visitor not to use his flash camera again, because the light from them could alter the depth of color on ancient paintings. IOW, preservation of irreplacable treasures was their calling, no matter who was the ill-informed. And I really didn't know much about Putin at the time, except to notice in Russia, he is responsible for a lot of mouths to feed post all years after WWII. When our visit was over, our tour put us in the Moscow Airport to travel home. For reasons not known to me, when we got on the plane, they informed us that all the first class seats were taken, although we had paid for our first class ticket 3 months before our trip even started. They seated us in the last row, where it was cramped, uncomfortable, and bumpy all the way back to NYC, where we took our flight home on an American flight that did not cancel our first class accommodations. My husband promptly wrote a letter to the government in Moscow for a refund of his expenses that were not honored in reality. He never got a response back, so I realized someone in the government stole our trust when they expropriated our seats and gave them to somebody else and not feeling they had any intention of refunding us for their error or shennanigan against American travelers. I owned my own business, and not ever did I cheat anyone intentionally, but if they mentioned or we found an error on our part at the end of each day, their money was promptly returned with a substantial free merchandise gift certificate to show them that their business was appreciated, because when you hire people to treat customers well, you owe them money for their services, good or bad, with no judgment against them if they clean up their act, and a pink slip if they ever gave a customer a bad day, which was in their written job description they signed saying they understood the importance of good will to those who fed them with honest business transactions.
That said, I had no hatred for Russia, they simply had someone either pocketing refunds so cleverly no one could charge them, or whether they regularly cheated Americans. I will never know the answer to that, but I still held that the top dogs in any country, ours included, are responsible of fair and equal treatments with observance of human rights in the fairness quarter.
And as far right as I am, I'm well-informed about the slaughter of Ukrainians by the KGB inflicting starvation on people Stalin had no use for. And they were communists when they murdered anywhere between 20 million and 100 million (as some resources claim, I didn't make that up), Russian citizens in the Ukraine and elsewhere were put to their deaths in disrespect, hate, and likely information that favored Stalin, who ordered death to Russian citizens by the KGB. I believe from my readings that went on from the year 1930 to 1947. They terrorized anybody in the Russian satellites in Eastern Europe, as well as "Mother" Russia for criticizing Stalin or any of his henchmen in his small circle of supportive Oligarchs. Communism resulted in something far, far worse than the Bolsheviks murdering a benevolent Czar and his wife, and all of his children, close relatives, his staff, just like Maxine Waters' list of undesirables she claimed and sent people to stalk them in public places right after president Trump took office. They went after his staff, his staff, his extended family, and the President and his wife,and even his grade-school son, and her orders trickled down even to anyone on any street in America wearing a MAGA hat or t-shirt not to mention any vehicle bearing a Trump for President sticker, a MAGA support bumper sticker, and anyone inside such an inanimate object as a truck with a flag flying in the wind on a flagpole in the truck's backside.
I object to illegal and unconstitutional stalking for political reasons, whether right or left. It's just the wrong thing to do, and the House Speaker is not disciplining this criminal behavior in the least, which is her job to do. The current House Speaker should have been impeached yesterday, which smacks of crooked elections to put liars in the House and in the Senate, who really were not elected they were installed by means of stuffing the ballot boxes as was videoed in a Georgia precinct in which Democrats drove out the Republicans after midnight, and by three am. they had stuffed and re-inserted votes already counted. The video picked up on one Democrat precinct worker putting the same box of Democrat ballots in over and over and over up to 6 or 7 times. They had no one looking over their shoulders, because the head Democrat in Georgia informed the Republicans present that they were about to lock up, so they could go home. When the last one left, she returned to find out the doors were locked. She had no idea what was gong on in that precinct voting place, so she just went home. It wasn't until the video was discovered and shown in public and as a viral video viewed on millions of home computers.
If we don't get the cheating Democrat leadership out of Congress, we will never be a free people. Instead, the communists pulling these stunts will be so unpopular, their only reason for staying in power would be to kill their adversaries, just like the Russians did in 1917 and again from 1930 to 1947, and probably a few genocidal riddances between 1917 and 1930, and guess what. The Russians are doing it again in the Ukraine where the 1930s-1947 citizens were systematically genocided.
Not one single Republican far right or far left supports the Russian invasion of Ukraine. And not one single atheist in the Communist Party the Democrat Party has been converted to by their leadership will admit their crimes at the polls to get all that they are demanding, and if they are left alone and unpunished for their voting crimes, they will start killing us with Maxine Waters at the push button gas chamber. These Democrats are criminals and they need to be escorted out of Washington DC, and local governments in all 50 states if they are pulling deep state strings against anyone wearing a MAGA hat, shirt, or car sticker. Needless to say, we will deal with Putin's war crimes against Crimea, the Ukraine, and Poland, and any other country that doesn't want to be under the Ruskie killing thumb ever agiain.
So I pray y'all will pitch in, even if it's giving up a pack of cigarrettes a week, every little bit helps them get their strength renewed with a meal and a blanket. Bless you if you can, and bless you if you can only sent up a little prayer or even a kind thought to those who lost homes, farms, or businesses and had to carry their light sacks of dry clothes and a loaf of bread to get by on till they got to Poland, and their paths were frequently the targets of Putin's terminator missiles. Prayers up. 
And for those who suffer,
