Yeah, Snowden was lucky he wasn't, by definition, stateless, otherwise Russia may not have offered him asylum. They got to piss off the US by doing so.

Russia offers asylum to stateless people.

The only problem with getting asylum anywhere while being stateless is proving who you are. And it wasn't a problem for him.
