Snowden says he married his girlfriend Lindsay Mills in Russia - The Guardian
Former US National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Edward Snowden, who was granted asylum in Russia after exposing mass surveillance technologies used by US special services, said in an interview with Guardian he married his longtime girlfriend Lindsay Mills in Russia.
In the interview, timed to coincide with the release of his book titled Permanent Record, Snowden revealed he and Mills, who later moved to him in Russia, married two years ago at a private ceremony in a Moscow courthouse.
When asked whether he braced for a slap in the face when Mills came to his door in Moscow, Snowden replied: "What would you do, if you ran out on your wife and she sees you on the news. You’re now wanted and can’t come home again. And then, months later, you see her. What would you expect?"
"She’s so much more than I’ll ever deserve," he added.
