Did KGB Major I mean Lt. Col. I mean Captain Yuri "The KGB Had Absolutely Nothing To Do With Oswald In The USSR" Nosenko "defect" to the U.S. in February 1964 to prevent Nuclear Armageddon because . . . gasp . . . the evil, evil CIA had impersonated Oswald in Mexico City seven weeks before the assassination and connected his (Oswald's) name, via a 10/1/63 telephone call, with that of the ostensible head of the KGB's Assassinations & Sabotage department, Col. Valeriy Kostikov (whose name had been made Dept. 13 "radioactive" a year earlier by a Kremlin-loyal triple agent at the FBI's NYC field office by the name of KGB Major Aleksei Kulak -- J. Edgar Hoover's shielded-from-CIA FEDORA)?
Or did the false defector-in-place-in-Geneva-in-June-1962 "go rogue" in February 1964 in Geneva and use the above scenario as his ticket to The Land Of Opportunity?
Regardless, Nosenko ended up a few years later being compensated generously for his troubles, receiving a CIA medal, and teaching "counterintelligence" to the CIA's and the FBI's new recruits . . .
It would be nice if Loomer, Morley, Stone and DiEugenio would ask the CIA to un-redact and release this file on Ivan Obyedkov, the guy who volunteered the radioactive name "Kostikov" to Oswald or "Oswald" over a sure-to-be-tapped-by-CIA phoneline on 10/1/63.
James Angleton revealed during his Church Committee testimony that Obyedkov (misspelled "Byetkov?" in the 19 June 1975 transcript) was a Kremlin-loyal triple agent, i.e., the CIA mistakenly believed that it had successfully recruited him.
