Vasilios Vazakas Wrote:the problem with this book is why to believe what its author has to say about events that occured 48 years ago.
we don't know his motives, if he is schooled by some intel service, if he is a disnfo agent etc.
All you say is true....and I'll read the book in that light...as I have SO many others!....I do have reason to believe, however, that this person actually was an acquaintance of Oswalds....and one hopes to get a few tidbits despite the fact that both were intelligence agents playing intelligence games long ago.... the last book by a former Soviet intel agent was worthless, IMHO. I can't yet evaluate this one. I do know someone who went to Minsk to visit the Professor / Doctor and got a 'royal' Oswald tour of all the places they used to live and go to way back then. I was saddened to hear that this person didn't video the multi-day tour!....but I assume anyone else willing to make the effort to get to Minsk might also receive a similar tour and garner some information or clues from that. I hope some are in the book....as Minsk is not on my dance card for now.
So, sorry Charles, I was wrong, it is the same person.
Lastly, Vasilios, while we often get only confusion from current or 'former'-[if such exists] intel agents, we have also learned much from them - both by applying a 'negative template' and sometimes by simply examining things they didn't want disclosed or disclose themselves about them or things they mention......they even AT RARE times do give out truthful and useful information...but I admit that ain't often and it is usually hidden inside disinfo...but one can't pre-judge that without scrutiny, IMO.
