🚨 JFK dossier: Russia’s help in solving decades-old murder mystery

US Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna has released a 350-page sheaf of documents on the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, given to her by the Russian government.

What’s inside, at a glance:

🔶 The trove includes correspondence between top Soviet leaders, diplomats and intelligence agencies about the USSR’s response to JFK’s shooting, Moscow’s cooperation with the US investigation and internal reports on alleged gunman Lee Harvey Oswald’s stay in the USSR.

🔶 JFK’s assassination occurred amid a US–Soviet thaw following the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. In 1963, both nations held talks on banning nuclear tests and mulled a possible NATO–Warsaw Pact non-aggression treaty. That June, Kennedy called for nuclear disarmament and peaceful coexistence with the Soviet Union.

Who killed JFK?

🔶 Soviet leaders doubted that a lone gunman was responsible, suggesting the killing was part of a coordinated plan and carried out by a professional shooter.

🟠 Key inconsistencies noted by Moscow included:

🔶 Oswald’s shooting skills and making three aimed shots in five seconds from an outdated rifle

🔶 US police negligence that allowed Jack Ruby to kill Oswald after his arrest

🔶 Oswald’s unclear motives — despite US media claims of a “leftist trace,” he was not a communist and had written an anti-Soviet book about his time in the USSR in which he reportedly claimed to be a US secret agent

Letter written by JFK's real killers?

🔶 On November 26, 1963, Soviet ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin alerted Moscow to a peculiar typewritten letter allegedly sent by Oswald to the Soviet embassy on November 9 — shortly before the assassination.

🔶 The letter, written in poor English, mentioned an encounter with the FBI. Its strange content created the impression of a plot between Oswald and the USSR and was initially considered by the Soviets as a fake or provocation. Dobrynin suggested the letter might have been written by those behind the JFK assassination.

🔶 Dobrynin also noted that US intelligence was likely aware of the letter, since the Soviet embassy was under constant surveillance.
