>Garry Kasparov is not a very good source, he has virtually no political base except for ancedotes
I mean, aside from being very good friends with Boris Nemtsov, who Putin murdered...
But fine, here's Schindler and Nichols saying the exact same thing. Or you can read The Snowden Operation, by another long-time intelligence veteran, which makes the same case.
This, basically: https://www.amazon.com/Snowden-Operation-Greatest-Intelligence-Disaster-ebook/dp/B00I0W61OY
I haven't read this book, but basically, the assertion by many spooks/former spooks is that Snowden was a Russian operation from start to finish. Now, there's still an argument wrt whether or not Snowden was a knowing agent.
There's a book that makes the case that Snowden was likely tricked by the Russians into doing it. It's written by an editor of the Economist and is an interesting read, although I can't say I completely agree with some of his conclusions.
Read an interesting book that came to two conclusions about Snowden. A journalist that writes a lot about East-West espionage wrote a book that basically says either 1) Snowden acted as a spy willingly or 2) Snowden acted as spy unwittingly (to your point).

If the sole argument is that Russia has an interest in promoting or leaking stuff to Wikileaks and that makes them "useful idiots" as the author said, no one is doubting that there is a common interest there. But we've yet to see any evidence that it goes beyond that.
