"He found a job and works in his occupational field, as an IT consultant² in one company," Kucherena told the government-run Rossiiskaya Gazeta daily. 

 

The lawyer did not specify³ the company's name, but said his client "has found himself in his new life and feels himself self- fulfilled." 

 

The 31-year-old wanted man lives like an ordinary Muscovite, riding metro⁴ and buying essentials in the city's supermarkets, Kucherena said, adding Snowden receives financial support from fans besides salaries. 

 

Snowden, who has been keeping low profile since he was granted a one-year asylum⁵ in Russia in August 2013 and extended the term for another year, rents a modest apartment in Moscow he can afford, the lawyer said. 

 

The IT analyst⁶ was wanted by the United States over three felony charges including espionage⁷, after he disclosed a highly confidential⁸ intelligence project codenamed PRISM and threw Washington to the mire⁹ of accusations¹⁰. 

 

Kucherena has written a novel titled "Time of The Octopus¹¹" about Snowden's saga¹² and sold the copyright to U.S. director Oliver Stone, who may start producing the movie in early 2015.
