This document, labeled as a House Oversight record (page 131), details the geopolitical maneuvering surrounding Edward Snowden's flight from Hong Kong to Russia in 2013. It discusses the lack of an extradition treaty between Russia and the US, Vladimir Putin's approval of the exfiltration, and the 'Moscow Scenario' where the FSB took control of Snowden upon arrival. The text highlights that Snowden was prevented from traveling to other nations (Cuba, Venezuela, etc.) and was effectively detained in the airport transit zone/FSB safe houses, with Putin adviser Sergei Markov noting Snowden's value in compromising US intelligence officials.
