I think the Snowden-in-Russia interviews are interesting to the extent that they show how Russian "active measures" actually work[1]. You can see it in the letter Snowden (and his handlers) recently sent to the European Parliament[2]. It's pretty clever the way they have been able to send thousands of troops into southern Ukraine, all the while fomenting distrust (and distraction) among NATO members with Snowden. 1. http://www.europarl.europa.eu/document/activities/cont/201403/20140307ATT80674/20140307ATT80674EN.pdf http://www.europarl.europa.eu/document/activities/cont/20140... 2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_measures http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_measures
