    I would firstly say I don't think there are any good modern-day comparisons to Nelson Mandela, and I don't think this is a productive discussion. However, at least Tymoshenko is a political leader who is imprisoned by her home state for her continuing expression of and leadership in opposition to unjust policy; Snowden is none of these things, and I cannot imagine him taking that role in the future.
