Russia Learned 'Nothing New' From Snowden Leaks - Deputy PM -- RT
Russian IT experts heard “nothing new” from a series of spying revelations by Edward Snowden, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said. Moscow plans to tackle the “existing and well known” cyber threat by manufacturing its own electronic components.
After a Monday meeting with the Russian President, Rogozin told journalists that information revealed by the leaks was “just the naked truth that we already knew from other sources.”
He stressed that computer technology experts have not discovered anything new about Washington’s scope of cyber espionage. Instead, the whistleblower only reinforced the belief that Russia needs to strengthen its cyber security, Rogozin said.

Update #1: Russia learned 'nothing new' from Snowden leak... but Russia should boost its cybersecurity anyway, says Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin. -- Christian Science Monitor
Update #2: 'Nothing new' for Russia in Snowden's leaks: official -- Business Standard
My Comment: US Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein has suggested Snowden might have given info to China, Russia .... while Edward Snowden has always denied these claims. As to what is my take .... I think Edward Snowden is right .... he actually never gave away any unknown secrets. Case in point .... his allegations have not been a surprise to me .... from his revelations on the extent that industry cooperates with the NSA to how other countries cooperate and work with the NSA. Therefore I do believe in Dmitry Rogozin when he states that "nothing new" has come from the Snowden leaks .... that Russia already knew this intel. If anything .... Edward Snowden has only validated what the Russians (and everyone else) had always believed in .... and if I was a betting man .... in the end it will be this validation that Edward Snowden will always be remembered for.
