Just because someone disputes the 'cheerleader' factor above, it doesn't mean one supports whatever that paper writes.

So, I will suggest that the other two posters above fail to consider that Mr. Snowden is going to be positive no matter what. Of course, he'll praise the only country that took him. Duhhhhh..... Also, anything is better there than being behind bars in, for e.g., the USA.

With all that said, all praise Putin.... WHAT A WONDERFUL GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good article above and it shows he is Russia's hero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
