I do not personally blame the russians for sending in troops. I think if it were a situation with America and a large population of American citizens, the yanks would have no qualms about sending troops in. They've started wars for less.
To make it very VERY simplistic, it's very similar to the British Empire protecting interests in the North of Ireland hundreds of years back.
Look how that turned out.
