Summary
This document is page 286 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein (which likely explains the 'Epst' filename and inclusion in this search, rather than a connection to Jeffrey Epstein). The text details Edward Snowden's movement from Hong Kong to Moscow, alleging direct involvement by Russian intelligence and personal approval by Vladimir Putin. It argues that Snowden possessed critical NSA data that Russian services had sought for decades.
