There are good reasons to think that the KGB arranged the murders of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Robert F. Kennedy, as well as of other Americans. Note: “good reasons”, not definitive proof. In each case, I will argue that We must consider the KGB the leading suspect. That is a useful perception, and it can guide further investigation that could result in the more definitive finding that It was all the KGB.
First, I will explain how the KGB has emerged as the prime suspect in the JFK assassination. Not only was this the most important and best-known case. New evidence and interpretation point to the KGB and have implications for the other murders. Second, I will treat each of ten KGB murders in summary fashion. Third, I will touch on factors that have hampered resolution of these cases for many decades. Fourth, comparing the cases, I will identify characteristics of the KGB’s art of deniable murder. Fifth, I will draw some conclusions.

1. The KGB and JFK
June 8, 1968. Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated in the crowded “pantry” (actually, a food preparation area) of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles after his primary election victory.
