The declassified Soviet-era documents are from the archives in Moscow, diplomats said
The Russian ambassador to the US has given Republican Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna the copies of the declassified Soviet files on the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the embassy announced on Tuesday.
Ambassador Aleksandr Darchiev met with Luna, a Republican from Florida, and handed her files compiled from the Russian state archives, diplomats said.
According to the Russian Embassy, many of the files had already been presented to the US by Soviet officials during Kennedy’s funeral in 1963.
“I have received a hard copy of the report on JFK’s assassination from the Ambassador of Russia. A team of experts is enroute to my office in the morning to begin translation and full review of documents,” Luna wrote on X.
Luna said Jefferson Morley is helping her review the 350-page collection of files. “We will be posting translations, prepared by fluent Russian speakers, of significant material in the document. We will provide context on what this document is, how it came to be, and how it compares with what is known about Russia’s response to JFK’s assassination,” Morley wrote on X.

Luna has been campaigning for the release of all information related to the killing of Kennedy, the 35th US president, on November 22, 1963. She has questioned whether Lee Harvey Oswald, the man charged with the murder, was actually responsible.
A former US Marine, Oswald held left-leaning views, lived in the Soviet Union for about three years, and was married to a Russian woman.
