Soviet Union client states in Mediteranean: yesterday it was Egypt,now is Greece

In the '50 the Egyptian president Abdel Nasser, was supported heavily by russians, with armament and finance. But despite of the armament sent by Soviet Union and despite of soviet training and of the pilot sent by Warsaw pact, Egypt lost the 6 day war in 1967.
50 years after, the ally of Soviet Union: Egypt is lagging economically behind the America's ally: Israel and Russia lost a key ally in region.
Why Russia has lost it's influence in Egypt?
In my opinion Soviet Union supported an ally which cannot sustained itself. The Egyptians had more weapons more territory but lost twice the Sinai peninsula, the cause it is obvious: bad military leadership. And if the military leadership is weak, you can imagine how it is the civil one.
Greece has also a leadership problem, and it seems that cannot sustain itself economically, and like the Egypt in the '50, when if they didn't received money from the West they headed East.
It is good that prime minister Tsipras help Putin to spend some money, in something else that weapons.
