It will probably be in the typical Russian manner. Transferred somewhere in Siberia, worked until he dies or is completely forgotten about, shot in the back of the head and shoved in the mineshaft that houses the Romanovs.

They’re never going to let Snowden go. If for no other reason than to keep hidden how they turned him.

That’s a very good point. There has been speculation from the beginning that Snowden was working with someone considerably higher placed in the security establishment. The Russians would pull out all the stops to protect such an asset. My guess on Snowden’s eventual fate would be a traffic accident. Unfamiliar and challenging road conditions and a subject with a reputation for recklessness would make it at least passably plausible. There are many ways to make it undetectable if you have the luxury of unfettered access to the wreckage afterward. The Russians could just shrug and claim the misfortune as evidence of the degree of freedom he was allowed in their country.
