I believe Papa Koch made money working with Joseph Stalin, and even one of Trump's elders.

...before working under Hitler's Third Reich, Fred Koch had worked for Stalin, where under Stalin's first five-year plan Fred Koch helped build up the Russian, the Soviet oil refineries and really gave huge muscle to the oil industry in the Soviet Union.
On how the Koch brothers' father built oil refineries for Hitler and Stalin
One might surmise that a good share of the fortune today's Koch brothers inherited from their father came from Hitler and Stalin.
Thus the Kochs may also have a soft spot for the Russians in their diabolical little hearts.
