Edward Snowden's Russian lawyer said "he has brought several books for Snowden to read, including... Fyodor Dostoyevsky's novel 'Crime and Punishment.'"

"The novel is about the mental anguish and moral dilemmas of a poor ex-student who kills a pawnbroker for her cash, and [the lawyer] said Snowden might find it interesting. But the lawyer added: 'I'm not implying he's going through a similar mental anguish.'"
