[ Released under the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 (44 USC 2107 — | Hote). DATE; 11-14-2017 o e » a eyo ss \ SECRET OF _LEE HARVEYKOSWALD AND WIFE MARINA eee ee The source discussed the Lee Harvey OSWALD case with (Cforner instructors at the Minsk KGB Higher School of Counterintelligence. (U Following his defection to the USSR, OSWALD was resettled in Minsk, outside of Moscow. He was placed under full surveillance by the regional or territorial KGB in Minsk. KGB officers from the Second Directorate of the White Russian KGB were in contact with Oswald and considered him an agent because he would provide them with some information on his past. Marina was also considered an agent. Oswald resided very close to Victory Square and the KGB Higher School in Minsk. His apartment was very nice by Soviet standards. Oswald was also interrogated several times by KGB officers in Moscow. The source does not know what type of information OSWALD provided to the KGB in Minsk or Moscow. OSWALD fell into deep depression in the USSR. He was homesick and wanted to return to the United States. He eventually received Soviet permission to return to the United States with his wife Marina. His KGB handlers did consider passing OSWALD to the First Chief Directorate to be handled by a KGB residency in the United States. This proposal was ultimately rejected, however, because OSWALD was considered too unstable. According to the source, the KGB did not handle OSWALD in the United States and had no further contacts with him. Marina was considered an agent, but she did not like to cooperate with the KGB. She was interested in OSWALD, but even more interested in getting away from the Soviet Union and poverty. we KGB instructors who told the source about OSWALD were (Colonel Torchuk, Colonel Sluzer, and Colonel Schlobochekov. C§) These individuals used to be members of the White Russian KGB. SCD officers Aleksey, YEGOROV and Leonid GOLUBOVSKINJalso told him about this operation The stories were all consistent. a * / ae a z bo - oy.

DATE: 11-14-2017 ue a BS t o . c yt SECRET According to the source, [each one of these oreicers AYU) told him that the KGB did not handle Oswald after his redefeCti&n to the United States, and the KGB did not give any tasks to OSWALD. They also said that the KGB never gave OSWALD a task to kill President Kennedy. The source said that rumors in the West suggesting the KGB was involved in KENNEDY's assassination were absurd. According to the source, the KGB would never risk the scandal of assassinating a major world leader. DEBRIEFER'S COMMENTS: Needless to say, we will go back over his knowledge of OSWALD in an effort to acquire any additional information. REFERENCES: 1. January 12, 1990, Debriefing. Tape #2A.

f Released under the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 (447 Usc 7iv7 Hote). - DATE: 11-14-2017 ° . . . { ~ e Sm Ate SECRET YURIY NOSENKO Yuriyf NOSENKO-spent much of his career in the Sixth Department of7the KGB's Second Chief Directorate (SCD), which was responsikle for tourists. He spent only a short time of his career in the First Department, SCD, which was responsible for American officials at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. NOSENKO had excellent family connections because his father was Minister for the Shipbuilding Industry in the USSR. That is- how NOSENKO managed to become a security officer for the Soviet delegation which traveled to Geneva, Switzerland, for arms control talks. He defected to the United States from this position. The SCD was quite pleased when U.S. intelligence began to believe NOSENKO was not a bona fide defector. They were particularly pleased when he was harshly interrogated by the CIA. ee ee According to the source, NOSENKO was not sent to the United States to be a false defector. The source said that it is against KGB policy to send an intelligence officer as a false defector. Also, the KGB would never have selected him for such a mission because his father is a high-level Party official. The source doubts that NOSENKO ever saw OSWALD's file. According to the source, NOSENKO was not higher than a Captain or Major when he defected to the United States. The source believes that NOSENKO may have tried to show himself more valuable to the CIA than he really was. At the time of his defection, NOSENKO was mixing in high circles of Moscow golden youth. The source believes he defected for material gain. REFERENCES : 1. January 12, 1990, Debriefing. Tape #2A. Counter 4342-432 (S) wn whee SECRET DoclId: 327177783 Page 9 Dy) 2 >)
