Snowden is often criticizing Russian government and has shown no signs of working for them. Him being in Russia is because he is hunted by USA. If anything russia is supporting snowden

Snowden messaging is directly aligned with russian security services and their key propaganda narratives.
Look at his messaging before the full scale invasion; until the invasion he was distributing russian propaganda about how “the invasion is not happening” and some world salad about NATO and BATO.
He routinely promotes messaging supportive of russian imprialism and spreads known falsehoods.
Snowden does not critize the russian government. Don’t lie.

What messaging, what are you talking about? He has been laying low for years. His latest interview was Jan31 and the only relevant thing is him denying working for Russia
Do you have any articles to back up “folding like an lawn chair”,“routinely promoting messaging supportive of Russian imperialism”,“spreading falsehoods”
Here is how you do it: Here is an article about Snowden criticizing Russian government. buzzfeednews.com/…/is-edward-snowden-trying-to-ge…

I gave you a specific example. Do a search for his tweets before Feb 24 2022 regarding Ukraine. Note how he was parroting russian official channel claims that the full scale invasion is not happening and ridiculing US security services (that correctly predicted that it is happening). Now do a search for official russian statements on this issue for this period.
You can do the searching yourself or feel free to assume that I am lying in order to discredit your little angel.
Secondly do lookup on who he promotes and what kind of things they say about Ukraine. This includes individuals claiming that everyone in Ukraine are Nazis and that Russia invasion was justified by security concerns. Both messages are openly promoted but the russians.

You didn’t give me a specific example, you made me look it up. And when I looked it up I found a tweet with a wrong prediction that he said was wrong 10 days later.
Insulting me is not gonna change my opinion or anyone who reads this. Backing up your claims with something more than “look it up” maybe will.
