The file covers the period from 1959 to 1964.
The US has received from Russia archival documents related to the assassination of President John Kennedy in 1963 and the stay in the USSR of the alleged assassin - Lee Harvey Oswald. The file was reported in X by Senator Anna Paulina Luna. It can be viewed at JFK Facts.
The PDF document is 386 pages in Russian and contains the following sections:
about U.S.-Soviet relations during Kennedy's campaign (June 13-October 25, 1963);
about the participation of Union representatives in the President's funeral and the interaction of the two countries in the investigation (November 22, 1963-September 28, 1964);
about providing materials for the Kennedy Presidential Library (February 26-August 28, 1964);
about Oswald's stay in the USSR (October 13, 1959-May 28, 1962).
The last section, in particular, includes data on Oswald's request to be granted citizenship of the USSR. As his visa was expiring and the issue was not resolved, he tried to commit suicide and was treated in the Botkin hospital in Moscow. Then it was decided to grant him the right to temporarily reside in the Soviet Union and for this period "to oblige the Belarusian sovnarkhoz to employ Oswald in the specialty of electrical engineering" (he got a job at the Minsk radio factory), the Minsk City Council of Deputies - to allocate him an apartment (he was registered at 4, Kommunisticheskaya Street, Minsk). He was registered at 4, Kommunisticheskaya Street, apartment 24), and the executive committee of the Union of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies of the USSR allocated 5 thousand rubles for its equipment and gave him an allowance of 700 rubles a month for a year. Oswald worked at the Minsk Radio Factory from January 13, 1960 to May 18, 1962. In Minsk he had time to marry Marina Prusakova. His admission to citizenship was deemed inadvisable.
The following documents can be seen in the file:
Oswald's application for a visa to the USSR (1959);
Oswald's petition for Soviet citizenship (1959);
a memo from Perepelitsyn, deputy chairman of the KGB under the USSR Council of Ministers, to Georgadze, secretary of the Presidium of the USSR Supreme Soviet, stating that it was inexpedient to accept Oswald as a Soviet citizen (1959);
decision of the Presidium of the CPSU Central Committee on the issue of Oswald's admission to Soviet citizenship (1959);

with the text of Oswald's last letter to the Soviet Embassy, etc.
Kennedy's assassination took place in Dallas. He was riding in an open-top automobile when shots rang out. One rifle bullet went through the president's neck, the second crushed his skull.
About an hour and a half after the shooting, the police detained Oswald, he was charged with the murder of the president, which he denied. Two days after the assassination attempt, Oswald was shot dead in the lobby of police headquarters by nightclub owner Jack Ruby. The latter died three years later in prison from cancer.
