Snowden finds website maintenance job in RussiaOctober 31, 2013 - 16:24 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Fugitive former U.S. security contractor Edward Snowden has found a website maintenance job in Russia, his lawyer said Thursday, Oct 31, according to RIA Novosti. Snowden, who was granted temporary asylum in Russia this summer, will start work Nov 1 in maintaining “Russia’s largest website,” Anatoly Kucherena announced. Kucherena refused to reveal the name of Snowden’s new workplace “for security reasons.” Snowden, a former employee of America’s National Security Agency, fled the U.S. for Hong Kong and then Moscow after leaking details of several top-secret government surveillance programs to the media. Russia granted him temporary asylum, despite repeated demands from the U.S. for his extradition, and since Aug 1 Snowden has been living at an undisclosed location in Russia.
