For that matter, liddle-widdle LHO, self-defined "Marxist," and self-imagined great thinker, may have chosen to go to Russia all on his own liddle-widdle initiative, and Bruce Solie may have been an ordinary CIA'er, nothing more than a less-than-stellar desk jockey.
If you think LHO could conceive and execute the JFKA on his own...surely LHO could venture to Russia on his own, a much less intrepid exercise.
My guess is LHO had sponsors or confederates for both actions.

Dear "BC," check out my most recent article on my Substack page, How the KGB Zombified the CIA and the FBI.
It's titled "Maybe. Maybe not."
Here it is!

You wrote (paraphrased):
Just because James Angleton's confidant, mentor, and mole-hunting superior, probable KGB mole Bruce Solie, may have sent Oswald to Moscow in October 1959 as an ostensible "dangle" in a (unbeknownst to Angleton and Oswald) planned-to-fail hunt for "Popov's U-2 Mole (Solie) in the wrong part of the CIA, it doesn't necessarily mean that Solie or the KGB encouraged and/or programmed self-described Marxist Oswald to kill JFK.
In other words, self-described Marxist Oswald may have decided to kill JFK all by his self-described Marxist self.
Here's my reply to you, TG (paraphrased by "TG"):
Lee Harvey Oswald, self-defined “Marxist” and self-imagined great thinker that he was, may have chosen to go to Russia on his own initiative, and your “probable KGB mole,” Bruce Solie, may not have sent him but been a less-than-stellar desk jockey CIA officer, instead.
If you think Oswald could conceive and execute the JFK assassination on his own, he surely could venture on his own to Russia — a much less intrepid exercise.
My guess is that Oswald had sponsors or confederates for both actions.
Dear “BC,”
Maybe you're right.
“Dour, plodding, risk-averse” Bruce Leonard Solie (look him up) might have been doing legitimate CIA business when he . . .
1) . . . ,not on official CIA business, flew to Beirut (home of Kim Philby) in February 1957, shortly after Nosenko’s boss, General Kovshuk (head of the KGB’s efforts against the American Embassy), had gone to Washington as an ostensible diplomat at the Soviet Embassy on a two-year gig but returned to his kept-open-for-him job at KGB headquarters after only ten months and was seen so often in the company of two KGB types near D.C. movie houses that the FBI began referring to them as “The Three Musketeers” -- right about the time that Popov's recently-fired-by-CIA dead drop setter-upper, Edward Ellis Smith, told an inquiring CIA colleague that he was "Spending a lot of time in movie hoses, waiting for a job to open up in California." (The Hoover Institution)
2) . . . flew to Paris twice within thirty days for very short visits -- the first time a couple of weeks before Nosenko “walked in” to the CIA in Geneva in June 1962, and the second time after he’d asked Nosenko some questions (see below) right before Nosenko flew back to Moscow
3) . . . showed up unannounced at CIA safehouse in Geneva on 15 June 1962 to ask Major I mean Lt. Col. I mean Captain Yuri Nosenko about a list of possible moles that Golitsyn had told Angleton about and which naive Angleton had told Solie about (Tennent H. Bagley, who was there, said Nosenko “drew a blank”)
4) . . . was the exclusive recipient of all of the incoming non-CIA cables on Oswald’s defection which, if someone in Solie’s office hadn’t arranged in advance with the Office of Mail Logistics and the Records Integration Division, would have been routed to the Soviet Russia Division
5) . . . pleaded with W. David Slawson in April 1964 for Nosenko to be allowed to testify to the Warren Commission, even though the Soviet Russia Division and CIA Counterintelligence had serious doubts about his bona fides
6) . . . “cleared” Nosenko in October 1968 via a bogus polygraph exam and a specious report
7) . . . hid Office of Security files on Oswald from the Church Committee and the HSCA
But then again, maybe not.

PS What was so hard about former Marine sharpshooter Oswald’s sneaking a disassembled short-rifle, disguised as wrapped-up curtain rods, through a rear entrance of the Texas School Book Depository and up to the already serendipitously created Sniper’s Nest overlooking the motorcade route before work on 22 November 1963?
