Successive governments in any country implement their policies as they see them deem fit. Take Egypt for example, from Russian camp, they moved out and aligned with US, and now in due course they are again eyeing up with East.
It's worth mentioning that it was Pakistan which turned it's back on Russia and became a member of SEATO and CENTO, even then Russia was still able and willing to co-operate and assist Pakistan. Pakistan steel mills, Mil-8 Helicopters and offering MiG-21 and others back in late 60s being some example. The world has moved on and so have the interests, countries learn from their experiences and mistakes and if Pakistan and Russia forge a strategic relationship, it's a win win situation for both.
