It seems that he got help from Wikileaks' legal team:

Wikileaks legal advisers - he's flying to a country that is putting a dead whistleblower on trial in order to demonise him and cover up government corruption.

Relying on the legal process in Russia is a really good way to find out how different it is from America, however much certain people would like to think differently.

Because that dead whistleblower - he was a lawyer.
