allows Snowden to cross the Russian border so long as border guards do not object

That's a weird condition.

I agree. Maybe it provides diplomatic cover.....Russia is not allowing Snowden to leave but some anonymous border guard will make that decision leaving them free of having made a decision that will thwart US will causing a bigger diplomatic row.

What I find interesting is the fact that Russia even cares whether they cause that row or not.

>>That’s a weird condition.<<

It is a pretty legitimate condition. Migration service may find a person formally worthy of asylum but one may have a kiddie porn, a kilo of drugs and a nuclear material on him. A border guards’ job is to make sure that refugees won’t bring things like that into a country.
