Marina Oswald and the Soviet KGB

Mainstream view: Our image of Marina Oswald, dating back to the days following the assassination, is that of a simple, frightened young woman, stunned by what had happened and in way over her head. That image of a more or less innocent bystander has remained intact for 40 years. Her uncle was in the MVD which was the government ministry worried about infrastructure and housing issues, the part that wasn't into secret police (Stratfor, Wikipedia, Killing Kennedy)

Warren report: Speculation.--Marina Oswald's father was an important part of the Soviet intelligence apparatus. Commission finding.--Marina Oswald's father died while she was still an infant. This reference is presumably to her uncle, Ilya Prusakov, who was an executive in the lumber industry, which position carried with it the rank of lieutenant colonel or colonel in the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD). Since 1953 the MVD has not been concerned with internal security or other police functions.81

Counter-conspiracy: Lee Harvey Oswald unwittingly married a KGB agent who was to keep tabs on him in the United State and figure out what he was really up to. She warned the KGB not to let him travel to Cuba or support an assassination, but it was too late to stop him if he was programmed to kill by either the CIA or KGB.

Marina Oswald --

Born Marina Prusakova --

Her father had been killed in the war

She lived with her stepfather in Archangel, in the far north of Russia, before moving to Moldova as a small child and then to Leningrad at age 12.

In 1955, she entered the Pharmacy Technikum for what the Warren Report called "special training." She received a diploma in pharmacology in June 1959 and then was assigned to a job in a warehouse, which she quit after a day.

Two months later, she moved to live with her uncle in Minsk, the capital of Belarus.

Her uncle was a colonel in the MVD -- the Russian Interior Ministry security service. At that time, the agency -- which was a mixture of a national police force and the FBI -- carried out several functions, from running large parts of the Gulag to serving as an internal security force.

According to the Warren Commission, Col. Prusakov was head of the local lumber industry, which would have certainly made him part of the Gulag apparatus and therefore part of the security structure. With a rank of colonel, he clearly had substantial responsibilities. According to the Warren Commission, Prusakov "… had one of the best apartments in a building reserved for MVD employees."

KGB assigned the agent Marina Nikolajevna Prusakova on Oswald. Her assignment was to find out Oswald's objectives in the Soviet Union and to develop the position for the later relocation in the United States and establishing her position there.

She met Lee Harvey Oswald in Minsk, where he worked in an electronics factory after having defected to the Soviet Union in 1959. She was then 19 years old.

In Minsk, Marina finally got a job in the pharmacy of a hospital. At the same time, she joined Komsomol, the Communist youth organization -- a fairly common thing to do and something that her uncle, given his standing in the government apparatus, certainly would have expected her to do. She had a good many friends when, seven months after moving to Minsk, she was introduced to Lee Harvey Oswald. They had one date -- at a dance. Immediately after the dance, Oswald was taken ill and checked into a hospital, though not the one where Marina worked. Marina visited him often in the hospital, although they had met only twice prior to his hospitalization. She was able to visit him outside of regular visiting hours, according to the Warren Commission, because of her uniform. Oswald was hospitalized from March 30 until April 11. It is not clear what illness kept him hospitalized for almost two weeks, but he was cared for at an ear, nose and throat clinic: He apparently had the mother of all sinus headaches.

KGB was doing everything to make this happen including the plan of traveling the US as Oswald's wife. Regardless of Prusakova's cover job in the health sector she was actually the personal office clerk in the 1st Department of GRU. Marina was from the family of Soviet Interior Ministry colonel Prusakov and she was trained, during Seljepin leadership, for covert operation in the US or Canada. For her age she was relatively highly educated, spoke other languages and, following the script written by KGB, she quickly fall in love with Oswald.

Frontline:

April 30

	Oswald's wife, Marina

Oswald marries Marina Prusakova at the home of her uncle, just six weeks after being introduced to her at a Palace of Culture dance. Because her uncle worked for Soviet domestic intelligence, questions later were raised about whether Marina herself was an agent.

The KGB continues bugging Oswald's apartment and monitors everything that goes on inside. According to Vladimir Semichastny: "We concluded that he was not working for American intelligence. His intellectual training experience and capabilities were such that it would not show the FBI and the CIA in a good light if they used people like him."

º Explore the Coleman and Slawson Report, part of the 1964 Warren Commission investigation, dealing with the possibility of a foreign conspiracy in the assassination

View the chapter of FRONTLINE's program which covers Oswald's time in Russia:

According to Marina's testimony to the Warren Commission, Oswald visited her regularly at her uncle's apartment after his release. The Commission makes a point of saying that "they were apparently not disturbed by the fact that he was an American and did not disapprove of her seeing him." This is an important point. Oswald was an American defector, clearly regarded with suspicion by Soviet Intelligence. Marina's uncle was a colonel in the MVD. Having American defectors visit his apartment in 1961 should have concerned him a lot. He would certainly report it to his superior. An American FBI official entertaining his niece's Soviet defector boyfriend in 1961 would certainly be cautious about its effect on his pension; however, Prusakov apparently was not concerned.

On April 20, a little more than a month since their first meeting, Oswald proposes to Marina. She accepts and they are married on April 30.

They were married about six weeks after they met with much of the courtship having taken place in a hospital

The MVD was responsible for internal police matters, but not, after 1953, secret police matters.
KGB was internal secret police and external spy agency, interchangeable in some stories

As the Soviet citizen Oswald would have no value for KGB. The objective was to get him and agent Prusakova back to the USA."

Page 158: "After their return to the United States Oswald and his wife Marina attracted attention of CIA and FBI. It is clear from KGB documents that she was in close touch with the Soviet intelligence all the time informing them about the preparation for the assassination. Her activity prevented later indictment of the Soviet Union and Cuba in the assassination plot. Based on Marina's information both countries refused to give visa to Oswald shortly before the assassination. It became clear later that information sent by Marina to the Soviet intelligence probably prevented the war because American intelligence services wanted to blame Soviet Union and Castro's regime for Kennedy's assassination."

Marina wrote on back of gunman photo - "Hunter of Fascists"

On day of assassination, she noticed that Lee left his wallet with all his savings, and left his wedding ring in a cup, something he would almost never do.

So,
Oswald could not know that when he and his friend Eric Titovetz went
to a dance at the Medical Institute in the evening of March 17, 1961,
all the details of that evening would be described in the KGB file.
That is when the name of a 19-year-old drug-store employee, Marina
Prusakova, is first mentioned in the dossier. It was on that evening
that Oswald met this woman, who in a matter of two months was destined
to become his wife. However, how that marriage came about is the
subject of a separate story

The Minsk drug store employee, Marina Prusakova, who entered history
thanks to her husband, still raises many questions in the minds of
Kennedy assassination researchers, Izvestia writes. For example, was
Oswald's wife a KGB agent? If she was not, then why was her patronymic
in certain documents recorded as Nikolayevna, while in others, she was
registered as Alexandrovna? And why, in general, did Oswald marry a
Russian national? And lastly, could Oswald have had an assignment to
simply live in the USSR for some time, then get married to the first
Russian woman he met so as, in the final count, to discredit the USSR
after the assassination of President Kennedy?
 
People acquainted with Oswald's dossier, Izvestia writes, swear
Marina  Prusakova "did not work for the KGB. "The strange thing about
her patronymic is also easily explained: she really is Nikolayevna by
her real father [Nikolai], however, after she was born, her mother
married a second time, and her stepfather's name was Alexander
Medvedev -- hence the mix up with her patronymics.
 
At first, Marina's life was not so simple. When her mother died, her
stepfather married another woman, so she was a complete "stranger" in
the home. She then moved to Minsk to live with an uncle and aunt, and
that is when she found a job in a drug store. However, fate had in
store for her by far not a drug store life.
 
After Oswald and Marina became acquainted at a dance in March 1961,
Oswald came down with an ear cold and had to be hospitalized. Marina
started visiting him in hospital. And in less than two months, the
Leninsky District Registry Office issued the couple Marriage License
No. 416. The swiftness of their marriage registration could only be
envied, given the fact that it was a mixed marriage. It usually takes
three months after a marriage application is filed for the official
wedding ceremony to be held. And that was in the 1960s, and marrying
an American, so swiftly -- all this seemed more than strange. But on
the other hand, the explanation could be primitively simple. Although
there was a kind of thaw in our relations with America at that time,
we still pointed our fingers at Americans, calling them "capitalists."
But here was an American who found asylum in the USSR, and had fallen
in love with a Russian girl - why not pull off a propaganda stunt?
 
Yet the new family was kind of strange, the author continues. In
moments of frankness, Marina confessed to Maya Gertsovich that her
husband was a tyrant and scandalmonger, he practically gave her no
money, although he demanded "steak and wine" for supper. And in
general, Marina confided, he did not love her at all - that was
probably his assignment to marry her. And when it became clear that
Oswald was returning to the United States, Marina said she would not
go to America "for anything in the world." Marina told her neighbor
that Lee was teaching her English, but that she had no intention to
speak that language.
 
Her neighbors tried to talk Marina into leaving for America together
with her husband, motivating their reasoning by the fact that
"Oswald's mother might be better natured," and that here in Minsk,
they had practically no furniture at home.
 
Lee Harvey's first daughter was born in 1962, and instead of a crib,
the baby slept in a small washtub. What kind of a life was that? But
Marina told her neighbors: "America is an alien country to me."
 
But judging by Oswald's Minsk friends, everything looked quite
differently. Marina Prusakova had a reputation of being "a bit loose,"
to put it mildly. From various sources, it is reported that while
already in America, Oswald struck her when he learned she was writing
to a man in Minsk: the letter was returned by the post office because
it did not have enough stamps.
 
Oswald's friend, Titovetz, is convinced that being a "very practical
woman," Prusakova compelled Oswald to marry her. Titovetz claims that
Oswald "worshipped" the family, and after the birth of his first
daughter, changed immensely. He washed and ironed the diapers himself,
and derived pleasure looking after his firstling. Pavel Golovachev,
another close acquaintance, believes Marina was "a woman who could
look after herself," and all her talk about not wanting to go to
America was either coquetry or a put-on. And just before her
departure, the author writes, what she said about the socialist system
echoed what any American could say about it then.
 
However, Oswald is reported to have told Marina approximately the
following: "No matter what happens in the future, never speak badly
about the Soviet Union." That did not prevent him, however, from
saying to his neighbor on leaving their apartment together with Marina
that he should "continue building communism without his [Oswald's]
help." The author notes that it probably took less than a minute to
say these parting words, but it took Oswald more than a year and a
half to come to the point when he uttered them.
 
There is information that Oswald first announced his intention to
return to America in December 1960, after having lived in the USSR for
just over a year.
 
Izvestia writes that obstacles were set up in Oswald's way to prevent
his going back to America. At his factory, he signed up for an
excursion to Moscow, but he was told the excursion had been canceled,
although that was not the case at all. Oswald's friends in Minsk told
the author that several times Lee Harvey was removed from the train
going to Moscow, and was told that there were restrictions on
foreigners traveling in this country.
 
But on the other hand, what was the point of trying to hold him back?
the author queries. After all, the KGB "had given up" with Oswald,
coming to the conclusion that the American was of "no interest
whatsoever" to the secret service. Moreover, Oswald remained an
American citizen. In spite of the version that he had slapped down his
U.S. passport on a desk in his Embassy in Moscow, Oswald had his
passport No.1733242 with him all the time he lived in the USSR - this
too is confirmed in the KGB dossier.
 
Judging by everything, the author continues, the U.S. Embassy which he
finally did manage to reach never lost sight of him. He did not have
the 400-odd dollars required to purchase return tickets to America.
The metal worker did not have that kind of money... But even so, he
and his wife and child left. Oswald's mother wrote him she could not
afford the return fare because she was saving to help them get settled
down when they arrive. "So," the author writes, "it is assumed that
the Embassy helped him."

.Stratfor

Far less speculation has gone into what is, in our view, a significantly neglected aspect of this story: Marina Oswald. From Stratfor's standpoint, she is at least one of the keys to whatever happened on Nov. 22, 1963. Our image of Marina Oswald, dating back to the days following the assassination, is that of a simple, frightened young woman, stunned by what had happened and in way over her head. That image of a more or less innocent bystander has remained intact for 40 years, even though the facts have consistently pointed to her being a much more important figure in the story.

Marina Oswald -- born Marina Prusakova -- met Lee Harvey Oswald in Minsk, where he worked in an electronics factory after having defected to the Soviet Union in 1959. She was then 19 years old. Her father had been killed in the war; she lived with her stepfather in Archangel, in the far north of Russia, before moving to Moldova as a small child and then to Leningrad at age 12. In 1955, she entered the Pharmacy Technikum for what the Warren Report called "special training." She received a diploma in pharmacology in June 1959 and then was assigned to a job in a warehouse, which she quit after a day.

Two months later, she moved to live with her uncle in Minsk, the capital of Belarus. Her uncle was a colonel in the MVD -- the Russian Interior Ministry security service. At that time, the agency -- which was a mixture of a national police force and the FBI -- carried out several functions, from running large parts of the Gulag to serving as an internal security force. According to the Warren Commission, Col. Prusakov was head of the local lumber industry, which would have certainly made him part of the Gulag apparatus and therefore part of the security structure. With a rank of colonel, he clearly had substantial responsibilities. According to the Warren Commission, Prusakov "… had one of the best apartments in a building reserved for MVD employees."

Now it gets interesting. On April 20, a little more than a month since their first meeting, Oswald proposes to Marina. She accepts and they are married on April 30. Let's pause here. Marina Oswald is an attractive young woman. She holds a diploma in pharmacology from a first-rate technical school in Leningrad. Her uncle is a senior official in the MVD. Lee Harvey Oswald is a foreign defector, without any real future and -- we are handicapped here by our glandular bias -- not a great looker or sharp dresser. But he must have been a hell of a dancer, because they were married about six weeks after they met with much of the courtship having taken place in a hospital.

OK -- it may have been uncontrollable love at first sight. Stranger things have happened, we suppose. The problem was that in order for Marina to marry Oswald, they needed to get special permission from the state, because he was a foreigner. That would have been true if he were the head of the Polish Communist Party. But Oswald wasn't just a foreigner, he was an American defector. Given the Soviet bureaucracy, someone in Moscow was going to have to sign off on this one -- and it had to have kicked off one heck of a security review in her uncle's office, but permission nevertheless was granted in 10 days.

If that is hard to believe, try the next one. After about a month of marriage, Oswald tells Marina that he's tired of the Soviet Union and wants to go home. She apparently says "whatever" and they start making arrangements to leave the Soviet Union. At this point, she told the Warren Commission, her aunt and uncle became upset and stopped speaking to her. A great deal has been made of the U.S. Embassy's willingness to allow Oswald to return to the United States, but not nearly enough has been made of the fact that the Soviets permitted not only Oswald, but also Marina, to leave the country.

In October, while this was going on, Marina decided to take her annual vacation. According to the commission, Oswald and Marina agreed that she needed "a change of scenery." Having been married less than six months, she took a three-week vacation by herself to visit an aunt in Kharkov. Kharkov in October is not the greatest place to visit, but off she went.

When she returned, she pursued her exit visa. She met with an MVD colonel, Nicolay Aksenov, who had to approve the exit permit. Marina thought that the interview might have been granted because her uncle was also an MVD colonel, but that makes little sense if her uncle opposed her departure. On Dec. 25, 1961, about six weeks after applying, she received her exit visa from the Soviet Union, as did Oswald. Marina told the Commission that she was surprised to receive permission. That is an understatement -- what happened was unheard-of. Although the Warren Commission tried to argue that these things were not that uncommon, they just were.

Let's recap here:

1. Marina, part of the Soviet upper-middle class, reasonably educated and an attractive young woman, meets Lee Harvey Oswald and is so smitten by him that she agrees to marry him in a little over a month -- two weeks of which he spent courting her from a hospital bed.

2. The Soviet government grants Marina permission to marry him in the span of 10 days, despite the fact that this is an MVD colonel's niece marrying a U.S. defector.

3. Oswald immediately decides to head back to the United States, and in spite of her uncle's supposed objections -- and Prusakov could have stopped this dead in its tracks if he wanted -- she is granted permission to leave the Soviet Union in the company of an American defector. The time between her formal request and receiving permission is a matter of weeks.

If the Warren Commission has the facts right -- and we think they do -- then this is clear: the Soviet government wanted Marina and Oswald to marry and they wanted them to go together to the United States. That is crystal clear. Now, we take a leap, but a reasonable one: The only agency in the Soviet Union with the ability and interest to get this done was the KGB. If Marina wasn't KGB, she did one hell of an imitation.

Endless questions flow from this, ranging from what the mission was to why the U.S. embassy permitted Marina into the country. This now enters into the realm of speculation. However, one thing is clear to us: Any theory as to what happened on Nov. 22, 1963, that does not take into careful account the role of Marina Oswald is inherently flawed. This includes the Warren Commission's own findings. If Lee Harvey Oswald killed John F. Kennedy, there has been no adequate explanation of Marina Oswald's role in this.

The only way to dismiss the Marina question is to make the following three assertions:

1. You have to believe that Marina, the attractive MVD princess, took one look at Oswald and said, "I've got to have that man."

2. You have to argue that obtaining permission in 10 days for an MVD colonel's live-in niece to marry an American defector was no big deal.

3. You have to argue that getting an exit permit from the Soviet Union for Marina in the space of six weeks in 1961 was no big deal.

If ever there was a cooked-up marriage, this was it. Now, how this fits into the assassination story is too speculative to bother with -- but that no explanation is possible without building this into the story is obvious.

There has been tremendous focus on Oswald's stay in the Soviet Union and speculation that his defection might have been part of a CIA plot. That is not inconceivable, although the purpose of the plot is opaque. There has been focus on Washington's decision to readmit Oswald, even though he had renounced his U.S. citizenship. All of this has focused attention on the CIA, but there has not been equal attention paid to the extraordinary story of Marina Prusakova's marriage to Oswald and her exit from the Soviet Union.

..The eagerness of the Warren Commission to pass over the strange marriage of these two is one of the reasons we have little confidence in the analysis it contains. The fact of the marriage raises questions of whether Oswald was, simply in the context of his marriage, involved in a conspiracy. If he was the only gunman -- which we doubt -- he still was not alone.

Marina Oswald Porter (born Marina Nikolayevna Prusakova (Russian: Марина Николаевна Прусакова) on July 17, 1941), is the widow of Lee Harvey Oswald—who was, according to four government investigations, ^{[n 1]} the assassin of U.S. President John F. Kennedy.

[hide]

Life with Oswald[edit]

Porter was born Marina Prusakova in Severodvinsk, in the northwest section of western Russia, near Arkhangelsk, and lived with her mother and stepfather until 1957, when she moved to Minsk to live with her uncle Ilya Prusakov and to study pharmacy.^[1]

She met Oswald, a former U.S. Marine who had defected to the Soviet Union, at a dance on March 17, 1961.^[2] They married on April 30, 1961, and had a daughter, June Lee, on February 15, 1962. In June of that year, Lee Oswald returned to the United States and he, Marina, and their daughter settled in Dallas, Texas. In February 1963, at a party, Marina and Lee were introduced to Ruth Paine, a Quaker and Russian language student, by George de Mohrenschildt.

In January 1963, Lee is believed to have ordered a Smith and Wesson .38 revolver and then, in March, a Carcano rifle (often mistakenly called a Mannlicher-Carcano rifle).^[3]Later that month, as Marina told the Warren Commission, she took photographs of Lee dressed in black and holding his weapons along with an issue of The Militantnewspaper, which named ex-general Edwin Walker as a “fascist.” These photos became known as the “backyard photos” of Lee, which conspiracy theorists dismiss as faked.^[4] The series of photographs were later found in the garage of the Paine household, with the exception of one, which was given to George De Mohrenschildt.^{[citation needed]} The photograph given to De Mohrenschildt was signed by Lee Oswald, and has a quote attributed to Marina’s handwriting in Russian, the translation of which reads “Hunter of Fascists, Ha-Ha-Ha !!!.”^{[citation needed]}

In April 1963, Marina and her daughter moved in with Ruth Paine (who had recently separated from her husband, Michael). Lee rented a separate room in Dallas, and briefly moved to New Orleans during the summer of 1963. Lee returned to Dallas in early October, eventually renting a room in a boarding house in the Oak Cliff district of Dallas.

Lee obtained work at the Texas School Book Depository when Ruth Paine learned they were hiring from a neighbor, and Lee commenced work on 16 October 1963, and on 20 October, Marina gave birth to a second daughter, Audrey Marina Rachel Oswald. Lee continued to live in Oak Cliff but stayed with Marina at the Paine household in Irving on weekends, an arrangement that continued up until the assassination of President Kennedy.

Lee had been getting rides to and from the Paine household on Friday afternoons and Monday mornings with fellow TSBD employee Buell Wesley Frazier, when staying with Marina over the weekends. On November 21, Lee asked Frazier to give him a lift to visit Marina, and to pick up some curtain rods for his boarding house in Oak Cliff. Lee was also attempting to reconcile with Marina after an argument, but having not succeeded in a reconciliation that evening, he left the Paine household that morning, leaving behind his wedding ring and some money, before hitching a ride with Frazier to work. According to Frazier, Lee carried with him a package that he claimed contained the curtain rods he mentioned the evening before.^[5]

Marina learned of the assassination of President Kennedy after the massive media coverage that commenced within minutes of the event, and later, the arrest of her husband. That afternoon, Dallas Police Department detectives arrived at the Paine household, and when asked if Lee owned a rifle, Marina gestured to the garage, where Lee stored his rifle rolled up in a blanket. When detectives unfurled the blanket, no rifle was found. Marina was subsequently questioned both at the Paine household, and later at Dallas PD headquarters in relation to her husband’s involvement in the assassination of the president and the shooting of a Dallas PD officer, J. D. Tippit.

After the Kennedy assassination and arrest of Oswald, Marina was under Secret Service protection until completion of her testimony before the Warren Commission, making a total of four appearances before the commission. Questions about her reliability as a witness against her deceased husband were expressed within the commission, particularly in regard to her claims about an assassination attempt on General Edwin Walker,^[6] and an allegation by Marina that Lee had intended to assassinate Richard Nixon.^{[citation needed]}

The Warren Commission reported^{[citation needed]} that Jack Crichton, the 1964 Republican candidate for governor of Texas, arranged for a member of the local Russian community to act as translator in the police questioning of Marina, during which she implicated Oswald in the assassination. In her Warren Commission testimony, she stated a belief that her husband was guilty, an opinion she reiterated in testimony before the House Select Committee on Assassinations in 1978.

After death of Oswald[edit]

In 1965 Marina married Kenneth Jess Porter, with whom she has two sons. She used to live in Dallas, Texas, and has appeared in numerous documentaries on the Kennedy assassination. In 1989, Marina became a naturalized United States citizen.^[7] She now contends that Oswald was innocent of the assassination.^[7]^[8] She has lived inRockwall, Texas since the mid-1970s.^[9]

In Popular Culture[edit]

Marina Oswald was portrayed by Beata Pozniak in Oliver Stone's JFK and on television by Helena Bonham Carter in Fatal Deception: Mrs. Lee Harvey Oswald. A fictionalized version of her appeared in Stephen King's 2011 novel 11/22/63, about a man who travels back in time to prevent the Kennedy assassination. In the 2013 television movie Killing Kennedy, based on the non-fiction book of the same name by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard, Michelle Trachtenberg portrayed Marina Oswald.

KGB archives support Pacepa's assumptions., July 7, 2009

Robert Buchar (USA) - See all my reviews

(REAL NAME)

Ludvik Zifcak, the former intelligence officer in Czechoslovakia, published his book "We Killed Kennedy" (Zabili jsme Kennedyho, Nakladatelstvi ELLF). In this book Zifcak, using records from KGB archives in Moscow, fills in essential information supporting Pacepa's hypothesis. See for yourself:

This review is from: Programmed to Kill: Lee Harvey Oswald, the Soviet KGB, and the Kennedy Assassination (Hardcover)

Page 157: "...At the same time KGB assigned the agent Marina Nikolajevna Prusakova on Oswald. Her assignment was to find out Oswald's objectives in the Soviet Union and to develop the position for the later relocation in the United States and establishing her position there. KGB was doing everything to make this happen including the plan of traveling the US as Oswald's wife. Regardless of Prusakova's cover job in the health sector she was actually the personal office clerk in the 1st Department of GRU. Marina was from the family of Soviet Interior Ministry colonel Prusakov and she was trained, during Seljepin leadership, for covert operation in the US or Canada.
