Still good he's trying to do something about it. I'd just review any tech or methods extra carefully for anything coerced in by the state.

Without a valid passport how can he be anywhere else? Blame the US for his current location (they revoked his passport as he tried to catch his connecting flight to Ecuador), not Russia and certainly not Snowden himself. He's in a weird predicament because as you say he is guest of a country that has an appalling track record in this sphere. What else is he to do though? Russia is only granting him asylum to stick a finger in the eye of the US and that could change at any time now that Trump is in power. His two choices are either stay quiet on the debate he started, or speak up in spite of his predicament.

  There's no blame here. There's the fact that he's in a subversive, police state... in the open to them... producing solutions to resist subversive, police states. Peer review them carefully. He should also tread carefully on that.
