He seemed to be looking right through me deep in his own Nechiporenko who was vice Consul at the soviet embassy in Mexico in 1963, said Oswald visited the embassy twice that year on sept. 27 and 28 to ask for immediate permission to return to the soviet Union. Oswald defected to the soviet Union in 1959 but re turned to the United states two years later. According to Nechiporenko Oswald told him that the Fri had been following him and had prevented him from getting a Good Job since he came Back to the United states.
