Just throwing an idea out there: the PFC's influence can come from organizational ability rather than just military power. If the PFC can better organize distribution of supplies, food generation, and just generally be a more responsive government than the Soviet-aligned Polish government it would give people a reason to throw in with it.
In Europe 1998 is going to be a harrowing year. Some governments will do better than others organizing and administering amidst the chaos. If the PFC can do a better job feeding and housing people they'll attract support. That support will just snowball if they keep delivering on promises.
A military unit interested in defending the populace will be attracted to such a government. From their perspective why support Moscow's military ambitions if Moscow isn't providing meaningful support to their countrymen?
