In this instance I think it was more that Putin personally loathes Hillary. Her assertion that the last elections in Russia were rigged reportedly really pissed him off.

I don't know, but this man seems to fall for praise and popularity, I'd say Putin would know that this is the lever.
I don't think it's anymore complicated than Putin preferring Trump to Hillary.
