The idiots on McAdams' forum are trying to claim that Oswald spoke little Russian, but the well-established fact is that he spoke it amazingly well.
This is Marina Oswald's testimony to the Warren Commission:
Mr. McDONALD. Mrs. Porter, when did you first meet Lee Harvey Oswald?
Mrs. PORTER. I do not recall the exact month, and the day of the month, but it was in 1961.
Mr. McDONALD. Do you recall whether it was in March of 1961?
Mrs. PORTER. February or March.
Mr. McDONALD. And how were you introduced to him?
Mrs. PORTER. By some mutual friends, a group of students that I know, I knew.
Mr. McDONALD. Can you recall who introduced you?
Mrs. PORTER. No.
Mr. McDONALD. And where were you when this introduction took place?
Mrs. PORTER. It was at the city dance hall in Minsk.
Mr. McDONALD. Can you describe for us, as best you can, your recollection of when you did meet him, what you were doing and who brought you together?
Mrs. PORTER. Well, I was invited by a friend of mine, a medical student who artended, medical students' dance, ball, and when I
came there, it was a group of students, and one of them was Lee, and some mutual friend introduced me to him.
Mr. McDONALD. Can you recall who that mutual friend was?
Mrs. PORTER. No, I don't.
Mr. McDONALD. Can you recall what you talked about at this first meeting?
Mrs. PORTER. Just typical young people everyday talk, routine talk, about the weather. I do not really recall what it was about.
Mr. McDONALD. Do you recall how long this initial meeting lasted?
Mrs. PORTER. About 2 or 3 hours.
Mr. McDONALD. In other words, you continued to talk with Lee Oswald for 2 to 3 hours?
Mrs. PORTER. No, I didn't. When he asked to dance, we just talked very little.
Mr. McDONALD. Did he tell you he was an American?
Mrs. PORTER. No, not at that--not during the dancing, no.
Mr. McDONALD. At this time you were speaking in Russian together?
Mrs. PORTER. Yes. He spoke with accent so I assumed he was maybe from another state, which is customary in Russia. People from other states do speak with accents because they do not speak Russian. They speak different languages.
Mr. McDONALD. So when you say another state, you mean another Russian state?
Mrs. PORTER. Yes, like Estonia, Lithuania, something like that.
Mr. McDONALD. Did you suspect at all that he was an American?
Mrs. PORTER. No, not at all.
