AUTOBIOGRAPHY

1, Oswald, Marina Nikolaevna, born Prusakova, M. N.,was born July 17, 1941, in Severo-Dvinsk (former Molotovsk),Arkhangelskaya Oblast .

I lived with my mother and stepfather inLeningrad, where I graduated from the secondary school and enteredthe Leningrad Pharmaceutical School .

My mother died in 1957 . Ongraduation from school, I was retained for work in Leningrad.

Due tofamily circumstances, I worked for the last 2 years (up to 1962) as anassistant at the pharmacy of the 3rd Clinical Hospital in Minsk, residingat the home of my maternal uncle (Prusakov, Ilya Vasilevich), andsubsequently was married.

In February, 1962, a daughter, June LeeOswald, was born to us .

My husband is an American by nationality,and so we found ourselves in America.

But a year later, I am applyingfor a visa for entry into the USSR and beg you not to deny my request.My husband remains in the U. S. A.

Copy of a three-page handwritten letter

To the Embassy of the USSRin the U. S . A . , Washington,Consular Section,Comrade Reznichenko

from Oswald, Marina Nikolaevna

I received two letters from you in which you requested me toindicate the reason for my wish to return to the USSR.

But first of all, permit me to apologize for such a long silenceon my part and to thank you for a considerate attitude tpward me on thepart of the Embassy .

The reasons for my silence were certain family"problems" (if one can express it this way) which stood in the way.

Thatis also one of the reasons why I wish to return to the Homeland .

The mainreason, "of course" (sic), is homesickness ; regarding which much iswritten and spoken, but one learns it only in a foreign land.

I count among family "problems" the fact that in the middleor the end of October, I expect the birth of my second child .

This wouldhave probably complicated matters for me, because I would not be ableto work during the first few months .

And yet, I have no one from whomI could expect help, for I have no parents .

My relatives were against mygoing to America and, therefore, I would be ashamed to appeal to them .That is why I had to weigh everything once more before replying to your letter .

But things are improving due to the fact that my husband expressesa sincere wish

to return together with me to the USSR .

I earnestly beg you to help him inthis .

There is not much that is encouraging for us here and nothing to holdus .

I would not be able to work for the time being, even if I did find work .And my husband is often unemployed.

It is very difficult for us to live here .We have no money to enable me to come to the Embassy, not even to payfor hospital and other expenses connected with the birth of a child.

We bothurgently solicit your assistance to enable us to return and work in the USSR.

In my application I did not specify the place in which I would liketo live in the Soviet Union .

I earnestly beg you to help us to obtain permission to live in Leningrad where I grew up and went to school .

I have asister and a brother of my mother's second marriage there .

I know that Ido not have to explain to you the reason for my wish to live precisely in thatcity .

It speaks for itself .

I permit myself to write this without any desireto belittle the merits of our other cities .

Moreover, it would be easier forme to find employment in Leningrad, since there are more pharmacies thereand additional personnel are needed .

For instance, when I carne to Minskfrom Leningrad, I could not find work in my specialty for quite a long time,because they had sufficient personnel .

These are the basic reasons why I and my husband wish to returnto the USSR .

Please do not deny our request .

Make us happy again, helpus to return that which we lost because of our foolishness .

Dear slam

This is to inform you of recent events sincem my meetings with comrade

Kostin in the P:nbaaay Of the Soviet Union, Mexico city, Mexico .

I was unable to remain in Maxiso indefinily because of my mexican

visa restrictions which was for 15 days only . I oould not take a chance

on regostine a now visa unless I used my real name, io I retured to the

I had not planned to contact the Soviet embassy in Mexicc

so they

were unprepared, had I been able to reach thi Soviet Embassy in Mavaaa

is planaod,the ombassy there would have had time to complete our business .

cores the Soviet embassy was not at fault they were, as I say un-

prepared,the Cuban consulate was guilty of a gross breach of regulations,

I am glad he has since been reploed .

The Federal Bureu of Investigation is not now interested in my

activities in the progressive organization' Fair Play For Cuba Oommittes',

of which I was secretary in Row Okleane(state Louisiana) since I no longer

reside in that state . However, the F .B.I . has visted us here in Dallas,Toxas,

on :lovembor I at . Agent Qames P . Hasty warned me that if I engaged in F .P .0 .0#

activities In Texas the F .B .I . will again take an'interrest! in me .

This agent also "suggested' to Marina Niohilayeva that she could

remain in the I)nited States under F .B .I . 'protection!, that is , she could

defect from the Soviet Uion of cause, I and my wife strongly protested

those tactics by the notorious F .B .I . .

Plcaze Inform us of the arrival of our Soviet entrsnoe visa's as soon

as they come .
