wikimedia.org/Cecil Stoughton, White HouseMurder of US President John Kennedy was a shock for the Soviet Union. The church bells tolled for him in Russia, according to the US intelligence documentation disclosed by the order of US President Donald Trump, RIA Novosti reports. Thousands of papers kept secret for decades were revealed to public.

FBI talked about reaction of KGB and Russian Foreign Ministry to murder of Kennedy. Moscow believed that Kennedy was killed as a result of the plot by Vice-President Lyndon Johnson who held the office of the President after Kennedy’s death. KGB assigned its agents to collect detailed information about this politician.

Soviet Union expressed concerns that in the period when there was no official leader, some irresponsible military officer could send a rocket towards USSR.

During investigation of Kennedy’s case there was a version supposing the Soviet Union’s involvement, however it was not confirmed. The published documents state that before the crime Harvey Oswald talked to the Soviet diplomat in Mexico who was a KGB agent according to the American intelligence. The telephones of the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City were monitored by American intelligence agencies. The document does not contain any suppositions that Oswald was a KGB agent.
