My instinct is that LHO's rapidly gained "fluency" in the Russian language is absolutely crucial to understanding the nature of Oswald.
And how many Oswalds there were...
Jan,
You're on to one of the most crucial and misunderstood elements of the LHO story(s). The historical Oswald has been described by more than one acquaintance as a "Hippie before his time" and other sobriquets deriving their accuracy from what might best be described today as his liberated mindset.
This case stubbornly defies all efforts to trim its fat. There is no better subject extant to be used to demonstrate the inefficacy of the principle of parsimony when applied to the analyses of intel operations.
How oddly fitting that the historical LHO bequeathes to us so mind-expanding a mystery.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
