There is a handwritten letter that LHO supposedly sent to Robert Oswald
from Russia. Here's the first page of it, and it goes on for 8 pages. Note
the date: November 26, 1959. So, he had been there for 2 months.

Why would anyone think that this is authentic? It's an extremely bizarre
letter. And I know that that's the idea: that Oswald was an extremely
bizarre person. But, if you know very well that he wasn't, then you should
doubt the authenticity of this letter. Let's consider:
Oswald had disappeared into the Soviet Union and was gone for two months.
Then, he writes his brother. How would such a letter begin? Wouldn't he
start by saying exactly where he was, how he was doing, what his
circumstances were, what his life was like, and what Soviet life was like?
Wouldn't he talk about how it was there: the daily life; the people; the
food; the music; etc.? But no, instead, he starts in as though he is in
the middle of a conversation with Robert about why he wants to overthrow
the US capitalist system, etc. He just gets right to it without saying
anything that is remotely normal. In the context of the circumstances in
which the letter was written, it is some wild, weird, and freaky stuff.
But, let's talk about the authenticity. First, not only should we not
grant the authenticity of it automatically; we should automatically turn
on every alarm in our heads. Why? Because of all the fake, phony evidence
in the JFK assassination, that's why. The burden of proof is on THEM, the
supporters of JFK officialdom. Until they prove that it's authentic, it
remains highly suspicious.
Now, let's consider some facts. We know that the Soviets closely monitored
all of Oswald's mail, both incoming and outgoing. They read everything-
all his correspondence. Don't you think they would have reacted to this
letter? A dumb and foolish person might think that the Soviets would
delight in this:
"In the event of war I would kill ANY American who put a uniform on in
defence of the American government--any American."
But, the fact is that, regardless of who he was talking about, it is a
very bizarre, extreme, and maniacal statement to make, and they would have
noticed that and noted it. It would have gone into his file. This was,
supposedly, a letter to his brother, who was an American. So, was he
telling his own brother that "I'll kill you" if you put on a uniform to
defend the US? The Soviet Union had psychologists, and they would have
recognized that this was highly abnormal. Worse; it was totally whacked.
You don't really want a guy like that running around in your country.
But, was Oswald really that whacked? Was he whacked enough to write that
letter? Well, there are extensive interviews of the people who knew Oswald
in Russia who described how he was, such as Dr. Ernst Titovets. And none
of them, described him this way- like the guy who wrote that letter. It's
not even close. None of them said that he was obsessed with Communism and
talked about it all the time. None of them said that he bashed the US or
talked about taking up arms against the US government. From all that we
know from the record and from the people that knew him there, what
Oswald's life was like in Russia was that he worked his job at the radio
factory, and then he sought to socialize and have fun. He also apparently
spent a lot of time chasing girls. He dated quite a few and girls chased
quite a few- before Marina came along. According to John Armstrong, he
hung around this female dormitory trying to meet girls. So, why in a
letter to his brother, would he be all business about Communism when he
wasn't doing that there? He wasn't like that there. He wasn't remotely
like that there. That whole dark obsessed mindset was completely, totally
absent; nobody reported it. He never bashed the US, in fact, he defended
the US. Even Marina said that he defended the US- to her relatives.
So, what we have is a situation in which the Soviets never confirmed the
authenticity of this letter- even though they were monitoring his mail
like a hawk. And since the letter wasn't brought out until after Oswald
was dead, he never confirmed the authenticity of it. What do you think he
would have said if they showed it to him? He probably would have said the
same thing he said when they showed him the phony Backyard photo; that
it's fake. We don't have anyone who knew Oswald in Russia who confirmed
that he wrote that letter or that he could have written it, based on what
they knew of him; his personality; his interests; his state of mind; etc.
Some may try to defend the letter on the basis of the handwriting being
his, but stop the nonsense. Don't you think the CIA figured out long ago
how to duplicate anyone's handwriting? And when was it ever put to
scrutiny by a hostile examiner? That was never part of it.
And by the way, at one point in the letter, he tells Robert that he,
Robert, means nothing to him, and neither does his mother. Well, who
writes 8 pages to such a person? Wouldn't a letter containing such a
statement, by necessity, be short? Who writes 8 pages to someone he
doesn't care about? 8 pages? 8 handwritten pages? I'm laughing out loud as
I type this because the idea is so ridiculous.
I'll give the link to the letter so that you can read the whole thing- if
you want to:

But, the only thing this is evidence of is the fact that Lee Harvey Oswald
is the most reviled, the most maligned, the most framed person who ever
lived. What they did to him- in life and in death- is truly monstrous. And
it shows that the underbelly of this wonderful society of ours, this "City
on a Hill" is and truly has been for a very long time: rotten, ugly, and
satanic.
