Mr. RANKIN. Mrs. Oswald, you be at your ease, and the interpreter will
tell you what I ask and you take your time about your answers.
Will you state your name, please?
Mrs. OSWALD. Marina, my name is Marina Nikolaevna Oswald. My maiden
name was Prussakova.
Mr. RANKIN. Where do you live, Mrs. Oswald?
Mrs. OSWALD. At the present time I live in Dallas.
Mr. RANKIN. And where in Dallas?
Mrs. OSWALD. Mr. Thorne knows my address.
Mr. THORNE. 11125 Ferrar Street, Dallas, Dallas County, Tex.
Mr. RANKIN. Do you live with friends there?
Mrs. OSWALD. I live with Mr. Jim Martin and his family.
Mr. RANKIN. Mrs. Oswald, do you have a family?
Mrs. OSWALD. I have two children, two girls, June will be 2 years old
in February, and Rachel is 3 months old.
Mr. RANKIN. Are you the widow of the late Lee Harvey Oswald?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. Mrs. Oswald, did you write in Russian a story of your
experiences in the United States?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, I have. I think that you are familiar with it.
Mr. RANKIN. You furnished it to the Commission, did you not, or a copy
of it?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. Will you describe for the Commission how you prepared this
document in Russian that you furnished to us?
Mrs. OSWALD. I wrote this document not specifically for this
Commission, but merely for myself. Perhaps there are, therefore, not
enough facts for your purpose in that document. This is the story of my
life from the time I met him in Minsk up to the very last days.
Mr. RANKIN. And by "him" who did you mean?
Mrs. OSWALD. Lee Harvey Oswald.
Mr. RANKIN. Did you have any assistance in preparing this document in
Russian?
Mrs. OSWALD. No, no one.
Mr. RANKIN. Are all the statements in that document true insofar as you
know?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. Since your husband's death and even back to the time of the
assassination of President Kennedy, you have had a number of interviews
with people from the Secret Service and the FBI, have you not?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, I did.
Mr. RANKIN. We have a record of more than 46 such interviews, and I
assume you cannot remember the exact number or all that was said in
those interviews, is that true?
Mrs. OSWALD. I don't know how many there were.
Mr. RANKIN. As far as you can recall now, do you know of anything that
is not true in those interviews that you would like to correct or add
to?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, I would like to correct some things because not
everything was true.
