For decades, Russia was represented in Hollywood as a shadowy power where secret police spied on citizens and freedom was illusory. But thanks to Snowden's revelations and the subsequent political fallout, Americans are starting to realize that their country has been an even more powerful surveillance state than the USSR ever was. And now, Russia is granting asylum to an American citizen who dared to reveal how much surveillance was actually going on in the States. It seems like a weird historical about-face.
