"lt would allow the soon- to-be President tO publicly demonstrate, with rea- son, that his relationship with putin and his new approach t0 Russia are paying dividends; ” Morell wrote on the Cipher B rief, a national- se curity blog. Yet the KremIin does not look ready to offer up those dividends. RareIy, if ever, has Russia been in a position tO amplify the voice Of a free-speech campaigner whom the U. S. has sought t0 imprison. Putin has relished that reversal of roles, and he has used it tO distract from his own abysmal record on human rights and t0 condemn the U. S. for hypocrisy. As a propaganda t001 and a geopolitical bargaining chip, Snowden is worth more tO the Kremlin than any lnauguration gift. SO it was no surprise when the Russian Foreign Ministry responded t0 Morell's column by an- nouncing on Jan. 17 that Snowden's right tO stay in Russia had been extended. His lawyer in Moscow, Anat01y Kucherena, confirmed t0 TIME that his client's residence permit iS now valid until 2020. He is free tO travel around the country, to cam- paign for the cause oftransparency and t0 appear via video link at conferences around the world. He has even been free tO criticize the Russian gov- ernment. "After 70 years Of SOViet power, we have come a long way toward achieving a situation Where free speech iS ensured,: ” Kucherena says. "And I think Edward is a very good sign ofthat. This only makes us glad to have him here. ” Russia has also been glad t0 watch Snowden's disclosures embarrass the U. S. government and strain its alli- ances around the world. That doesn't mean his extradition to the U. S. is off the table, as Trump and putin 100k for ways tO cement their relationship. Snowden does not have permanent asylum in Russia, and hiS legal status amounts t0 a kind 0f limbo. Nor is he any closer tO returning home on hiS 0 、Ⅱ terms. What he has long demanded is the right to return to the U. S. and face a public trial before a jury, rather than a closed military court like the one that jailed Manning. Under Obama, the U. S. gov- ernment has refused tO promise him that right. Even as it considered the possibility of granting him a pardon, the White House was careful to dif- ferentiate between the crimes that Snowden and Manning committed— and the ways they have dealt with the consequences. WhiIe Manning faced justice, Snowden "fled into the arms 0f an adversary; ” White House spokesman Josh Earnest t01d reporters on Jan. 15. That may be true.
