What is true is, that Putin obviously has not much control over Assad

Well I think that is a misunderstanding of how the Russians work. The Russians don't care what Assad does to his own people as long as Russian strategic interests in the region are protected.

There had also been reports in the past that the reason Assad invited the Russians was to use them as a counterpoint to the Iranians who were starting to throw their weight around.

The Assads did not stay in power for almost 50 years by being puppets.
