The United States revoked his passport in 2013, leading to Snowden being stranded in a Moscow airport for weeks after arriving from Hong Kong, aiming to reach Ecuador.
Lawyer Anatoly Kucherena was reported as saying that Snowden got the passport and took the oath on Thursday, about three months after Russian President Vladimir Putin granted him citizenship.
Russia eventually granted him permanent residency. He married American Lindsay Mills in 2017 and the couple has two children. “Mr. Snowden has long signaled his allegiance to Russia, this step would only formalize that,” Price told reporters.
