Edward Snowden became Lyubertsy. Tax resident

Former US National Security Agency Edward Snowden, who became famous for the disclosure of global surveillance programs that the American special services for years, officially became a tax resident of Russia - and was assigned to Lyubertsy near Moscow. The “system” concluded this conclusion by studying its identification number of the taxpayer (TIN).

The first four numbers - 5027 - belong to the inter -district IFTS of Russia No. 17 in the Moscow region located in Lyubertsy. Thus, it was this city that became a fiscal “residence” of Snowden. The same inspection serves neighboring city districts - Dzerzhinsky, Kotelniki and Lytkarino.

Snowden ended up in Russia in 2013, after he transferred secret documents on mass surveillance, which the US special services conducted to reporters. In Russia, he first received a temporary shelter, then a residence permit, and in September 2022, by decree of Vladimir Putin, citizenship. In 2023, Snowden issued a Russian passport.

According to data from the open base of the Federal Tax Service, discovered by the "system" TIN Snowden - the current, the full name and date of birth coincide. In the open base of the Federal Bailiff Service, one can see that the owner of this TIN has no fines and debts.

What is TIN and how it is received

TIN - tax number in Russia. In individuals, it consists of 12 digits. The number is assigned automatically: to newborn citizens - based on the registry office data that received a Russian passport - according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Foreigners and stateless persons receive TIN on a request if they are going to pay taxes in Russia. The order is enshrined in Article 83 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

TIN reflects the code of the tax inspectorate at the registration address: it is she who registers the person and forms the first four digits of the numbers.

What else connects Snowden with Lyubertsy

Snowden and his wife Lindsay Mills never told exactly where exactly in Russia they live. However, on Instagram Lindsay Mills can be understood where they are.

In 2018, Mills was photographed a few kilometers from Lyubertsy - in the Lublin Forest Park . She posted a picture on Instagram. Another of it was taken in 2016 at the Volzhskaya metro station- the closest to this forest park. In the first and second pictures, Mills is dressed differently, from which we can conclude that the photos are taken at different times.

Lyubertsy is a city of the city southeast from the capital, the administrative center of the district of the same name. Known for the Soviet industrial past, panel development, Khrushchev and the reputation of the "gangster suburbs" in the 1980s and 90s. Today Lyubertsy is a densely populated area with multi -storey buildings.

In the Lyubertsy, the favorite group of Vladimir Putin - "Lube" began its journey, there she erected a monument (photo used in the collage).

For migrants from English -speaking countries, Lyubertsy is rather atypical. I recall only the Irish electronic musician Aphex Twin, who in the 2010s lived in Reutov, north, Lyubertsy. Former American fighter Jeff Monson, in turn, was elected a deputy in Krasnogorsk-in this city, real estate is considered more prestigious in this city northwest of Moscow.

Monson starts with numbers 5024, which refers him to Krasnogorsk.

Snowdeni's wife Lindsay Mills and his lawyer Anatoly Kucheren did not respond to the letters of the "system".
