In the Soviet city of Minsk, an American was paying attention to Kenndy's inaugural address. He did not vote for Kennedy. He was fed up. His name was Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald was a former Marine Corps sharpshooter. Oswald was also a defector.

At age 19 in 1959, Oswald leaves the US and applys for Soviet citizenship. Oswald was hoping his socialist beliefs would be embraced in the Soviet Union.

After a while, Oswald is frustrated in his new life in Russia. Instead of going to college, he is forced to work in a Minsk electronics factory.

Times were tough for Oswald growing up. His father died before he was born. His mother remarried and then got divorced. Oswald dropped out of high school. He enlisted in the Marines. 

After 2 years in Russia, Lee Harvey Oswald wanted to return to the states.
