“Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin has praised Russian authorities for not caving in to pressure from abroad, saying granting Snowden asylum would help prevent the establishment of a ‘global electronic prison camp’. ‘It is encouraging news that Russia is demonstrating its independence in this case as it has in many others, despite the pressure’ said the head of the Holy Synod’s Department for Relations between the Church and Society. Vsevolod Chaplin added that the Snowden saga has been broadly discussed both on the domestic and international level, with Russia’s position potentially bolstering its image as a country upholding ‘the true freedom of ideals.'”
