The Russians Most Syrian Adventure #1

The Russians hit the Free Syrian Army.  This is not IS.  Ironically, Lavrov has stated the FSA is NOT a terrorist organization and ought to be included in the talks.

The Russians have stated they will NOT join the US led coalition against IS.

The Russians have stated they will conduct air strikes in Iraq if asked.

They has demanded the West stay out of Assad's air space.  They have deployed antiaircraft missile batteries to support this.

The Russians have stated they have 50 combat aircraft in Syria.  Its unclear what the mix is or if they are just referring to fixed wing planes or both fixed wing and helicopter.

They have conducted another wave of air strikes and at least one attack with helicopters.

Look for some insightful articles on Syria at The Power and the Money.
