He is like a person who willingly and knowingly got a job in a drug cartel, work for a decade, and then suddenly quit telling nothing more than "they are selling drugs to people for money!!!!".
Snowden didn't tell anything that was not known before.
Snowden did not provide any useful info at all. Not a single name, photo, IP address, location, password, private key, source code. Nothing that could be useful to mitigate threats or interfere/disrupt activities of that useless eaters from NSA.
Definitely not a hero. Just some loud "political refugee" from US to Russia, same as all that loud "political refugees" from Russia to US.
Suddenly, you don't need to ask for "political asilum" to move to Russia, just get a visa, move here, find a job or open any business / buy property here, get permanent residence, do no shit for 5 years and don't leave Russia for more than 3 months in a year during that period and you will get a Russian citizenship. Since Snowden is some kind of IT specialist he even could had get a Russian citizenship by simplified procedure.
