I'm not sure if Russia has a "double taxation" agreement with the US and a quick google doesn't immediately prsent an answer. If so, expats who pay taxes in Russia won't have to pay those same taxes in the US. As long as Snowden files his taxes, he won't be under a tax obligation or legal liability.

- WildUtah 13y agoThere is a US-Russia double taxation treaty.[0] He'll be eligible for the foreign earned income exclusion by filing time. That protects US persons from double taxation up to about $100k of earned income, even without a tax treaty. And he needs to remember to file his FBARs, too.
