Snowden basically took the only action he could, which was to hide in Russia because he's smart enough to know that Putin would not turn him over to the US because he's a bit of embarrassment to the US having him there.
My guess is Snowden is very relieved that all this Russia hacking came out and Trump is mixed up in it. If Putin/Trump would of ended up with a good relationship it's very obvious Snowden would have been handed over..
