Why go seek shelter from the Kremlin if he wasn’t already compromised? Seems like there are many better places he could have gone.

Because the Kremlin would protect him and help him broadcast his message. It harms the US government, so the Kremlin sees providing Snowden with protection and a platform as an absolute win.
Most other countries that are remotely aligned with the US might be pressured to keep Snowden quiet.
