In order for Russia to do that, they require ground troops. Lots of them and Afghanistan is still fresh in its memory.
My guess is that the goal will be to carve up Syria into small statelets similar to what the situation was decades ago when the League of Nations placed Syria under French mandate.
So you will have Shi'ites, Sunnis, Kurds, etc with their little enclaves. That won't go over well with Turkey, of course.
