I think you do have to ask yourself what reasons the Russian government would have to not be interested in talking to Snowden as much as they possibly can, and the answer would be there are almost no reasons why it would not be in their self interest to do so - just as any other government would have extreme amounts of self-interest to talk to a self-confessed offensive hacker from another country's intelligence service.
