Sadly, no one will ever know what a phone call can do or did not, because understanding how many Russian forces are bonded in all levels is easy from within IS, ISIS or Afghanistan.
The good news is that Russia can not react by heavier suppression or stronger ruling of the area, but must make good friends to the natives for gaining support in an ever more competitive world.
The natives might face a wave of liberalisation, native coltour support and infrastructure investments pretty much for free receiving a ribbon on next arrival in return with some applause in public.
Me as an Anarchist that can tell right from wrong and who will enforce only one eye to smack out the other.... Enjoy and gfy, please.
