The Sheremetyevo airport has three Russian Orthodox chapels. Perhaps Snowden can seek sanctuary in one of them?

It’s too bad for someone his country put all the trust upon him, living in such a country that all people around the world looking to put their feet on that land, but he did hurt his country and humiliate it, going for such countries like Cuba or China even Russia all share the worse records in all level of life for own people or with international relations on world stage.
My parents gifted me “The Man without a Country” when I was a little boy. There is a memorable verse there by Sir Walter Scott that is worth reproducing:
Lay of the Last Minstrel
by Sir Walter Scott
Canto Sixth.
I
Breathes there the man, with soul so dead,
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land!
Whose heart hath ne’er within him burn’d,
As home his footsteps he hath turn’d,
From wandering on a foreign strand!
If such there breathe, go, mark him well;
For him no Minstrel raptures swell;
High though his titles, proud his name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim;
Despite those titles, power, and pelf,
The wretch, concentred all in self,
Living, shall forfeit fair renown,
And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust, from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonor’d, and unsung.
I remember “The Man Without a Country” very well. Reading it used to be de rigueur, in Public Schools, no less.
Wildly OT, but art lovers will enjoy this glorious article by Heather Macdonald on the current John Singer Sargent exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum of Art.

She reminds me a bit of Hilton Kramer, whom I had the privilege to hear at a lecture in NYC many years ago. Intoxicated with beauty.
