How about Solzhenitsyn's В круге первом?

"Неужели есть средства дознаться, кто звонил из автомата? Если говорить
только по-русски? Если не задерживаться, быстро уйти? Неужели узнают по
телефонному сдавленному голосу? Не может быть такой техники."

If anything, C&P teaches that life is unpredictable (with all its imponderables, etc.), that nothing goes according to one's original plan (something that here in the US people tend to forget). I doubt that Snowden envisaged spending a month at the Sheremetievo airport and a negative reaction that he got at home. In the Dostoevskian universe, crime (one's ability to commit a crime) is extremely important. Once you've hit the bottom, you are immediately on the road to redemption. Something to look forward to in Putin's Russia :)
