Love him or hate him, his story as a fugitive is fascinating. If we get hitlery, we'll see a lot more whistleblowers seeking asylum.

What a coincidence that a story like this comes out just as the Snowden movie is about to open.

Or is that tinfoil hat stuff?

“I never intended to end up in Russia, much less choose it,” he said. “When my government learned I had departed Hong Kong en route to Latin America, they cancelled my passport trapping me in a Russian airport. "Unable to travel and unable to leave, I filed applications for asylum in 21 countries around the world, places like France, and Germany, Austria and Finland. But those countries neither accepted my respective requests nor permitted safe travel onwards.”

I think Russia took in Snowden more as payback to the US for taking in all sorts of traitors that the Soviets wanted back during the cold war.
Keeping in mind that Putin is ex-KGB this makes a lot of sense.

If they helped Snowden then it's because he had something valuable to them to offer as payment. You may never know exactly what that was.

If he escaped, he’did be in Brazil or somewhere. He’s a prisoner in Russia.
