Why would Russia put warships in the Caspian Sea?

Looking at the map, it seems counterintuitive.

It is a big “lake” bordered by multiple countries. Each has its own territorial waters, and they need navies to defend them.

That's very interesting! Pray, tell us more! Just why do you find it "counterintuitive?"

The Caspian Sea fleet is landlocked but apparently their missiles are in range of Syrian targets. This is an opportunity for the crews to be “blooded” in a real war and to clean out aging stocks of missiles.
