NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden lawyer has indicated that he is planning to study Russian language and culture during his stay in transit zone of Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport.

Anatoly Kucherena has reportedly said that the US 'fugitive' has not been provided with Russian travel documents and he would remain in the transit zone of the airport.

The New York Post reports that Kucherena said he had given him books, including Anton Chekhov and Fyodor Dostoyevsky's novel 'Crime and Punishment'.

According to the report, Snowden has applied for temporary asylum in Russia after his attempts to leave the airport and fly out of Russia were thwarted.
