The “mystery man” photographed at the #SovietEmbassy in #MexicoCity weeks before the #JFKassassination. The first two photos were captured by #CIA surveillance and linked to the travels of #LeeHarveyOswald. Was this an administrative error, or did the individual who was photographed claim to be Oswald? That’s the million-dollar question, and one with few definitive answers. 1. If it’s an Oswald impersonator, one would think care would have been taken to “cast” someone closer to the real Oswald. Then again, the impersonator may have been unaware that a visual record was being compiled, and felt a recording of him using the Oswald name would have been sufficient, and safe. 2. Even this person does not match the overall appearance of the “Oswald” recalled by Cuban consular officials in Mexico City. They described their “Oswald” as blond, thin in the face, and noticeably shorter than either the real Oswald or the man photographed here. Even if the CIA photos are clerical error, and nothing to do with the Oswald case, it’s still not certain Oswald was not being impersonated. 3. Various Agency figures, including the resident Oswald guru #RussHolmes, decided with varying degrees of firmness that the photographed man was not an impersonator but a Soviet intelligence officer named #YuriMoskalev. The last photo here depicts Moskalev circa 1971, just eight years after his alleged mislabeling by the CIA. There are points of similarity, but…
