The Alawites have a vested interest in supporting the status quo and the Russkis. Without them and Assad they will be on the receiving end of the genocide.
I'm sure russia could find some other tiny group of assholes to subjugate the local populace (doesn't seem to be any shortage). They have to have thought about it, shedding the global stink of assads regime -and- securing their interests. That a bunch of fractured rebels stymied assads forces would have me doubting their ability to deliver.
