On November 22, 1963, at 12:30 p.m., in Dallas, Texas, at the intersection of Houston Street and Elm Street, three shots were fired, two of which ended the life of President John F. Kennedy. According to the official version, the murder was committed by 24-year-old school textbook depository worker Lee Harvey Oswald. In June 1962, Oswald returned from the Soviet Union, where he had lived in Minsk for almost two and a half years. He got married in the capital of the BSSR, and his first child was born there. The 19-year-old former marine, who had become interested in Marxism and socialism, arrived in the Soviet Union in the fall of 1959. Having received a 5-day tourist visa from the Soviet embassy in Helsinki, he arrived in Moscow on October 16 and immediately told the Intourist interpreter assigned to him about his communist beliefs and intention to obtain USSR citizenship. After a fairly lengthy period of bureaucratic approvals, which included a suicide attempt, which many researchers now regard as staged, and a demonstrative refusal of an American passport, on January 4, 1960, Oswald was summoned to the OVIR, where he was informed that the city of Minsk had been determined as his new place of residence. Of course, a former American military man who had somehow voluntarily ended up in the USSR could not be settled in Moscow or Leningrad for security reasons. Minsk was a much more suitable option in this sense. On the one hand, it was a large city, the capital of a union republic, where the defector could be provided with a comfortable existence, thereby demonstrating the advantages of the Soviet way of life. On the other hand, it was easy to organize control over suspicious elements by the KGB of the Byelorussian SSR.
