Most of these "coincidences" hint at a connection between Snowden and Wikileaks --- which is public knowledge anyway. I've seen no evidence that they're a Russian conspiracy.
The only tie to Russia directly is the claim that he chose to go there, which is false; he was connecting there to a flight out, and was trapped there when the U.S. government revoked his passport.
Snowden's own argument in this interview (and others) that Russia and China treat their spies better, if that's what he was, is a lot more persuasive than hand-waving like this.

- ash 13y ago> Snowden chose to go to Russia. He just did not plan to stay there. He chose to go through Russia. As far as I remember, Snowden wanted to get to Ecuador. There are not many ways to get there (from Hong Kong) without landing in a country that could easily extradite him. Landing in Moscow was probably the only way.
