Presumably he'd drive, as Norway and Russia share a border. What isn't clear to me from the article is why he'd risk it for an award from a group of writers who have branches in Russia..

One obvious guess would be that it's a dress rehearsal for a possible Nobel peace prize win.

Would he have a guarantee he would be allowed back in Russia? If not I guess he can stay in Norway indefinitely but would need a work visa as well.

Would Putin even let him leave Russia?

It would look really bad for Russia if Snowden was held against his will.

So I'm curious how Snowden supports himself while exiled in Russia. How does he pay for these law firms representing him?

Well he could take a land or a sea route; Norway and Russia share a land border but it would be going the long way round.

> sea route Through international or territorial waters of third countries? Not unless he's hitching a ride on RFS Bespokoynyy.
