Lee Oswald's Note to FBI Agent Hosty
John Anderson:
Hosty trying to seduce Marina is right up there with the best JFK fantasies. Nice one. She didn't speak English and he didn't speak Russian but through Ruth Paine acting as translator he tries to seduce a women he's never met before. Classic.
I read a transcript of a Hosty interview taken years later where Hosty admitted he had floated the idea past Marina that she could pass him information about her husband. He said approaching the spouse of people of interest was common practice. No wonder Oswald was outraged. Most men would be I'd think.

Sounds like sailor in a foreign port...... Nothing unusual about it.... happens every day.
John Anderson:
You guys have some imagination if you think him doing his job is the same as trying to seduce her.

Marina told Lee that she thought FBI agent Hosty was a nice man..... In fact they actually quarreled about Hosty. When Marina told him that FBI Hosty had visited, Lee told her to avoid Hosty and refrain from providing him any information. Marina argued that Hosty was a nice man and he simply wanted to know if any Russians threatened her or her family in the USSR. Lee told her that the FBI was not merely protecting her.....
Then just a couple of weeks later Marina told Lee's brother Robert that she didn't want to talk to Hosty and Robert noticed a definite animosity toward Hosty.
Something certainly caused Marina to make a complete reversal of her feeling toward Hosty.
Lee Wotton:
I would think Hosty was nice to Marina the first time he went to see her but then exerted his power and threatened her if she didn't report on her husband LHO. That would certainly be enough to anger Oswald to that extent. It would also explain her avoiding speaking to Hosty after her husband had been killed.
Why do you ask how did Marina get Hosty's number plate? It was in Oswald's book. Oswald was involved in low level intelligence so he would be conscious if anyone was watching the house and would have noted the number plate. Maybe he did that to check with Warren de Brueys who Hosty was? Oswald was likely an FBI informant. Maybe that was kept from Hosty at first?
Abuse of power by Hosty could have led to relations with Marina but I think threats about deportation more likely. They certainly worked after the assassination.
