A lot of the KGB thought that Oswald was either a flake or double agent.

Yassure, that's what they said. But none of them address the facts that Oswald lived like a king in the Soviet Union, that they had him create a fictitious bio, that he was married to Marina, who's family were big in security, etc.etc.

In fact, the KGB tried to float the story line that they had NO INTEREST in LHO. This, in an era in which every foreigner in the USSR had a KGB Surveillance Squad and was required to live in bugged quarters.

cf Lee Epstein's "Legend."

If you were the KGB, would you ask someone who had publicly defected to Russia and been jailed for handing out leaflets for Free Play for Cuba?


Not exactly a low profile assassin. Russia or Cuba would have used someone less connected to them. Otherwise the chance of nuclear retaliation and war would have been too great.

None of that is true. He lived like everyone else and in fact was a problem because he expected to be treated better (which was the story of his life, and his mother's as well), Marina's family was not big in security.
