“Thank
you, Mr. Putin, for protecting my son! God bless Moscow! God bless you! God
bless the Russian people!”

Snowden, speaking on Russian television

“Please,
Mr. Snowden. People are not allowed to say the word ‘god’ on Russian TV, unless
they are referring to me. Please do not make that mistake again, or their will
be consequences your son will find most disturbing. Do you notice your son is
not making so many headlines now? That is what protection in Russia means: you
don’t talk until you are asked to do so and no one here has asked him to speak.
No more of this leaking stuff. Here in Russia, we plug leaks. I used to do it
personally. Traditionally, it has been done with cement. I believe you
Americans refer to it as, ‘getting a pair of cement shoes.’ It is very
effective. Leaks stop immediately. Life is simple when you practice
totalitarianism. Democracy… phooey! Democracy is for Nancy boys.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin
