FX.co ★ Many a little makes a mickle, or a piggy bank for Snowden

One of the members of the Upper Chamber of the Russian parliament is going to organize a fundraising campaign for Edward Snowden, a former National Security Agency contractor. Russian senator Ruslan Gattarov is planing to start raising money for supporting Snowden. The politician intends to open a special bank account, where everyone can make a donation. In addition, there will be few options more to help the political refugee. A special website named helpsnowden.com will be launched within several days, where you will find a full list of opportunities to deposit money to the NSA ex-agent for bread and butter. According to the politician, during his stay in the transit area of Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport Snowden has spent all his money, and it is not surprising because the prices in the Russian airports can ruin much wealthier people. Snowden’s lawyer Anatoly Kucherena has liked the idea. He does not evidently agree to work for free. “Edward is not a rich man, money he has got is not enough for a long time living so he will appreciate any help,” the lawyer said. Now the Russian tax payers can spend their savings on alimenting the American citizen. The Russian authorities took a decision to grant an asylum, but financial issues related to ensuring the refugee a satisfactory life fall on the shoulders of simple people. More than that, some Russian firms are ready to help by hiring Snowden. For example, the creator of Russia's top social networking site vkontakte.ru Pavel Durov has already offered the deserter a position in the Data Protection and Security Department.
