Typical misconception, sad to see it on HN.
He did not flee to Russia, he got stuck on his way, because the US revoked his passport.
Russia was the only country who could stand up to the US. Few other countries dared to offer him asylum.
Unfortunate it had to be Russia, given their civil liberties record, but he HAD NO INTENTION of going there.
