Description
An account of the resource
The recent controversy surrounding Edward Snowden has again tested the relationship between Russia and the United States. On June 23, 2013, Edward Snowden, the National Security Agency contractor who leaked thousands of pages of classified information, arrived in the Moscow airport, creating a standoff between the United States and Russia. The United States requested that Russia extradite Snowden, who had been charged under the espionage act, while Russia claimed that Snowden was in the airport transit zone and not technically within Russia. After 40 days in the airport, Russia granted Snowden temporary asylum, much to the United States’ dismay. Snowden remains in Russia in an undisclosed location to this day.
Snowden's actions are representative of political dissent akin to the Rosenbergs' espionage that occured nearly half a century earlier. Both cases pitted Russia and the U.S. against each other. The most recent case has driven a significant wedge between the two countries.
