He has to pay subscription fees after that I assume.

The way it was explained in an article I read, it is a standard procedure in Russia:
All asylum refugees get a one year permit to stay in country. After that one year they have to apply for an extended permit, which will be 5 years and give him the right to get employed. After those 5 years, they can apply for permanent citizenship.
That means that Snowden just like all other immigrants will live in Russia for 6 years before becoming a Russian citizen. That also means that he will be an American citizen for another 6 years unless USA prematurely revokes his citizenship.
