Maduro to open Hugo Chavez street in Moscow, attend gas summit
*** Awkward is the word to describe a Libertarian flying back to Venezuela on Pres. Maduro's private jet. While I would find this pretty fun, Snowden would have to feel super uncomfortable, but perhaps I underestimate him and he'll thoroughly enjoy the Hugo Chavez street naming ceremony in Moscow. along with his new bro Nick Maduro.

Earlier Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov said that in the framework of the gas summit President Vladimir Putin would meet Maduro as well as Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Bolivian President Evo Morales and Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zaydan.
The visit of the Venezuelan leader to Russia will take place in the context of the developments sparked off by the exposures of former CIA employee Edward Snowden.
