It may have been a mystery at one time, but not 50 years later.
The fingerprints of the Soviet intelligence service and its Cuban affiliate are all over Oswald.
One of the main controversies covered superficially in the program was Oswalds trip to Mexico Citya favorite place for foreign communist governments to contact communist agents living in the U.S.
PBS claimed that Oswald visited the Soviet and Cuban embassies looking for a visa, but was rebuffed by communist officials. It said, in the end both the Russians and the Cubans rejected him. All his plans to fight for Castro and return to Russia had come to nothing. He had nowhere to go but back to America.
Needless to say, taking the KGBs word on such a grave matter is not responsible journalism. In fact, it is downright laughable.
One of the KGB officers interviewed by PBS was Valery Kostikov, an espionage agent connected to political assassinations. He was used to make the point that the CIA had misled American investigators about Oswalds alleged meeting at the Soviet embassy.
Fifty years after the fact, our media are still covering up the conspiracy to kill Kennedy based in Moscow and Havana.

When the USSR fell, many of their intelligence files became available for academic review. Anyone know whether the Lee Harvey file has been available?
C’me on; Oswald never spoke with the KGB in Mexico City, just like Atta never visited the Iraq rep in Prague. Everyone knows that.
(Just in case it is needed: /s)
Fuggedaboudit!
Can we just stop living in the past?
To hell with all the Kennedys.
Hope Caroline enjoys her stay in a nuclear-compromised country, with a zillions rads of poisonous air entering her lungs every day.
Rush Limbaugh was taking about this last week. He made the same point: that the leftmedia wants to cover up the fact that Lee Harvey Oswald was a communist. The left wants him to be a right-winger but the evidence proving Oswald was a communist and had some connection with the KGB is irrefutable so they ignore it. PBS is useless.

Not to seem argumentive, but that's not needless to say. We, the people were offered bits and pieces of the facts, and I'm sure it's no mere coincidence the feral government continues to stand behind its partly factual explanation of the 1960s. The truth will out sooner or later. People will wish they could ask us, "How could you have been so naive as to accept such a shoddy story?"
True-believing Marxist psychopath.

Late in January 1964, two months after President Kennedy was murdered in Dallas, a 36-year-old K.G.B. officer named Yuri I. Nosenko met with two C.I.A. officers, George Kisevalter and Tennent H. (Pete) Bagleyin, in a safe house in Geneva, Switzerland. Nosenko had startling news for the C.I.A. men: he said that in Moscow in October 1959 he had personally handled the case of Lee Harvey Oswald, turning down his request to remain in the Soviet Union after his visa expired. Oswald then attempted suicide. The K.G.B. decision, according to Nosenko, was overruled at a higher political level. Oswald was sent to Minsk, where he met and married Marina Prusakova, whose uncle was a colonel in the M.V.D., the Soviet internal police agency, and left with her for the United States in June 1962 after living in the Soviet Union slightly more than two and a half years.Because Oswald had been a radar operator in the Marines, and had been stationed at Atsugi, Japan, a base for the secret U-2 spy plane that had been overflying the Soviet Union, the C.I.A. assumed that the K.G.B. at the very least would have had an interest in debriefing Oswald about his military knowledge.
In Geneva, Nosenko defected to the C.I.A. and was brought to Washington. He insisted that the K.G.B. had neither questioned Oswald nor tried to recruit him.
Richard M. Helms, then head of the C.I.A.'s espionage operations, and later director of the entire agency, testified to the House Committee on Assassinations that he found Nosenko's claim "strained credulity. . . . I have not been able to swallow it." Helms's skepticism about Nosenko was shared by the influential chief of counterintelligence, James J. Angleton, who regarded Nosenko as a false defector.
In part because of disbelief of Nosenko's story about Oswald, the K.G.B. man was imprisoned by the C.I.A. for almost five years under conditions that were, for much of that time, extremely harsh.
Helms defended the C.I.A.'s actions by testifying that if Nosenko fed it false information about the K.G.B.'s relationship with Oswald, "it was fair for us to surmise that there may have been an Oswald-K.G.B. connection in November 1963, more specifically that Oswald was acting as a Soviet agent when he shot President Kennedy." - Was Oswald a Spy?
They have a vested interest in blaming the city of Dallas - it's fits their hate.
We could blame the Boston Marathon bombings on liberals because the killings and maiming took place in a liberal city... that's the standard, right?
Well, we can't really do that because it's so stupid. But PBS can do it because liberals are stupid enough to buy anything if it pushes their agenda. Eff PBS.
Perhaps,
how about a 24 yr.old spook wannabe?
How could anyone renounce citizenship and then be welcomed back by the state department in the early sixties ?
PBS claimed that Oswald visited the Soviet and Cuban embassies looking for a visa, but was rebuffed by communist officials.Oswald was sent by his 'employer' to Mexico City just weeks before the assassination. He went to the Soviet embassy, apparently for the same reason (but no one now knows for sure), and was observed doing so, as US intelligence kept the embassy under surveillance. But the Mob did the hit -- Oswald worked for St Louis mob boss Carlos Marcello's lawyer. Jack Ruby was a mobster throughout his "working" life.
Baloney.
The mob?
Zero evidence to support this.
Hoagland comes up with his own theory.

As we further detail in our New York Times Bestseller, Dark Mission: the Secret History of NASA, these newly-published documents reveal that, within days of his ringing challenge to the American people, the Congress and the Soviets in Washington, Kennedy was actually, urgently, trying to sell Nikita Khrushchev (then head of the Soviet Union), at their first Summit in Vienna, on the daring idea of joint US/USSR space exploration programs!
Including going to the Moon, not in competition
but together!
And, in mid-November 1963, according to Sergei Khrushchevs personal recollections — after literally years of determined efforts by the President to convince him to accept this 180-degree reversal of the then public perception of an all out race Nikita Khrushchev finally did agree!
However, just days later John Kennedy was killed.

This is why, in my opinion, Premier Khrushchev suffered a lesser, but equally determinative fate only months after John Kennedy was killed.
He too was opposed by powerful and secret forces, who did not want ANY public revelations of WHY the US and the USSR, for one brief moment, had agreed to JOINTLY go to the Moon.
Oswald belonged to the TEA party, don’t you know?
Baloney yourself, the evidence for a Mob hit is clear and obvious; these KGB/Cuba/CIA fantasies have no evidence whatsoever.
The purpose of all Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories is to exonerate the communists.
