It's just politic game, Putin want to save Assad, his last friend and ally in that area.
Syria is very important strategic nation and super powers ( USA and RUSSIA) have a lot interest there (oil, geostrategic position etc ).
Average people in Syria have no use for it and suffer still in the war-troubled country.
Nope. You are wrong. Putin trying to save Assad couse if syria will fall then all middle east will be on fire. Islamic state will eventually take everything. Dozens of countryes. In middle east, in north africa, then in asia and in caucasus region. That's why syria is a crucial point. That's why america wants to break it.
