Russian President Vladimir Putin granted full Russian citizenship to U.S. whistleblower Edward Snowden on Monday.

Snowden, 39, fled the United States to Russia after revealing information about extensive surveillance operations being conducted by the National Security Agency (NSA). He is now a Russian citizen by presidential decree, Reuters reported Monday.

The announcement comes roughly two years after Russia granted Snowden permanent residency in the country.

The country first granted Snowden asylum in 2014 and has since resisted calls to extradite him to the U.S. Snowden faces espionage charges that could land him in prison for up to 30 years in the U.S.

So is Snowden still a good guy now or is he evil. I have seen many people argue over this dude being a hero or traitor.

This should be good

Where in Russia does Snowden actually live? Is it somewhere around other expatriates (or other English-speakers)?

Now he doesn't have to pay US taxes?

Anyway, Putin's move is a slap in the face of the globalists who run our nation.

Would this move by Putin in anyway compel Snowden to release more information (I know 2013 info is pretty dated) or in some other way help Putin by shoring up support in Russia or from other Russian allies?

Aside from poking Biden, what is Putins reason for doing this?

He gave the Russians more actionable intelligence than the entire SVR.

Hope the traitorous little prick ends up eating something explosive and fraggy in UKR… after freezing his ass off.

I'd imagine that he has fallen in line as a run of the mill resident by now, and no one there knows it cares how he arrived; that is to say that I doubt he's been incarcerated or given special privilege.

Probably live in a small apartment with his husband and fur babies, drives his rusty Lada down to the local zippy mart to work his shift every day.

Russia certainly agrees with you.  Providing a foreign government with valuable intelligence is what all the good guys do.

Oooh Russia found out about if Obama was going to spit or swallow Mike after he got back from playing golf on Martha's Vineyard?

He'll die of old age surrounded by his grand children while deep staters here will wonder why their kids turned them in to the ATF after they didn't register their muzzle loaders.

A traitor to this gov is a hero, isn't it?

To be precise, he betrayed the Obungle admin.

Situated on 29.3 waterfront acres near the Edgartown Great Pond, the impressive estate, which was built in 2001, features seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and a powder room. It also boasts an elegant master suite complete with a fireplace, as well as two guest wings, a two-car garage, a sun deck, boathouse, and a pool.

I was going to mention this. The article says he "fled to Russia", but didn't the US government revoke his passport mid travel and it caused him to be stuck there?
