Declassified: Russian Government Set to Release KGB Files on JFK Assassination—What Secrets Are They Hiding?

TALLAHASSEE, Florida — Representative Anna Paulina Luna of Florida revealed in a recent conversation with podcast host Joe Rogan that the Russian government has agreed to release previously classified KGB files relating to Lee Harvey Oswald. This announcement comes after Luna met with the Russian ambassador, marking the first official dialogue on this issue since 1990.

Luna, who chairs the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, emphasized her commitment to unveiling the truth behind President John F. Kennedy’s assassination. She claimed the KGB conducted an independent investigation into Oswald following the assassination and reported its findings to U.S. officials in 1963. However, she suggested that these documents mysteriously disappeared, possibly destroyed by the CIA.

During her discussion, Luna also shared insights into JFK’s attempts at peaceful diplomacy with the Soviet Union during a volatile period marked by Cold War tensions. She stated that Kennedy had aspirations for a joint U.S.-Russian mission to the moon, contrasting sharply with factions within the U.S. intelligence community that sought military confrontation in Cuba and beyond.

Luna contended that had the documents survived, they might have substantiated alternative narratives surrounding Kennedy’s assassination, particularly regarding Oswald’s potential connections with intelligence agencies. “The CIA, in my belief, destroyed that information to support their own narrative,” she alleged.

The congresswoman announced that the Russian government plans to make its findings public later this fall, a move that represents a significant shift in diplomatic relations. This set of files reportedly includes a psychological evaluation of Oswald conducted while he was living in Russia, portraying him as mentally unstable and ill-suited for the role of a lone assassin.

In her remarks, Luna drew connections between the forthcoming release and newly declassified CIA records, including the controversial Joannides file. This file reportedly reveals that a senior CIA official misled Congress about the agency’s role in Oswald’s background and the investigation into JFK’s murder.

Luna remarked on these revelations, stating that the CIA’s admission of obstruction during the investigation raises troubling questions. “We’ve learned that the narrative of a single bullet theory is now in doubt, and the agency admits Oswald was not acting alone,” she noted.

As the release of the Russian intelligence files approaches, discussions about the implications of these revelations for understanding the events surrounding JFK’s assassination are gaining momentum. With both historical significance and contemporary relevance, this unfolding story continues to engage the public’s curiosity about one of America’s most enduring mysteries.
