Russian President Vladimir Putin has granted former NSA contractor Edward Snowden Russian citizenship, according to an official decree published on the Russian government portal Monday.
The 39-year-old has been living in exile in Moscow after initially traveling to Hong Kong following his 2013 public disclosure of the classified information. He is facing up to 30 years in prison in the US.

Interesting to note I suppose, given all that Putin's got his hands full with.
I suppose it begs the question:
"Does Snowden now become liable to RU military mobilization?"
Imagine the irony? Or perhaps, would that be getting one's 'just deserts'?
