[105]Interview: On August 22, 1978, Sergy A. Uslov was interviewed’ a
[106]“at his residence relative to an allegation thats: through a
[108]friend, Lee Harvey Oswald stated he could make money if he
[110]killed the President. — Uslov's mother, Araisn Uslov, 55 years,
[112]lives with him; however, was not present at the time of the
[114]visit. He is currently unemployed, having left his job as
[116]a packer/salesman for Fada Industries, 1201 Broadway, New York,
[118]New York, (212) 679-4280, approximately two weeks ago;: He.

[124]uUslov stated that he arrived in the United States
[126]via TWA on. March 23, 1977, having arrived from Russia through
[127]Austria and rtaly (Alien Record #A21703170; Permit #0669968) .
[128]His departure from Russia was accomplished through subterfuge.
[129]His mother was of Jewish ancestry and both he and his mother.
[130]were granted their request to go to Israel. Since such travel
[131]to Israel necessitates first stopping “ih Italy, upon arrival
[133]Uslov and his mother contacted the U.S. Embassy and were per-

[147]mitted to enter the United States. The CIA contacted Uslov
[148]via telephone approximately two months later. A meeting was
[149]arranged and he was debriefed as to his knowledge of Russian
[150]life, KGB, etc. At this point, Uslov stated that he would
[151]shoot himself if: he. ever had to return to Russia. . .
[153]After sixteen years of age when continuous educa-
[154]tion ceased, Uslov. worked at several odd jobs while inter-.
[155]mittently attending the Institute of History and of Foreign
[157]° Languages. He speaks German, Russian, White Russian and En-
[158]glish.
[160]Uslov stated that he had written a manuscript con~
[161]cerning Lee Harvey Oswald; a manuscript written mostly from
[162]information he had elicted from Pavez A. Golovachev in Minsk,
[163]the U.S.S.R. Uslov first met Golovachev through a friend,
[165]V. Egor, in 1965. After the casual meeting, Egor told him
[166]that Golovachev was a good friend of Lee Harvey Oswald. Sever-
[167]al years later, Uslov miéxt met Golovachev while he was drink-
[168]ing and Golovachev stated that he did know Oswald and that
[170]his wife Marina was his girlfriend before their Marriages
[171]Sometime in 1975, while - in Golovacheyv's apartment in Moscow,
[173]an intoxicated Golovacheyv supplied much informative data
[174]relative to Oswald. |
[176]Golovachev explained té him that he and Lee Harvey
[178]Oswald worked together at a radio factory in Moscow and were
[180]close friends. Oswald was a very nervous person; nervous

[189]about everything, laughed like a crazy man, and liked his
[190]wife "very, very much." Further, he had stated that Oswald
[191]saw how life was really like in Russia and was very disen-
[192]‘chanted. Oswald wanted a lot and the Government "did every-
[193]thing." He even tried Russian writing once and failed, as
[194]usual. Then he expressed the desire to return to America
[195]with his wife, also a wish of hers. ‘Golovachev asked, "What
[196]are you going to do in America?" Golovachev was “inquiFing as to
[197]how was he going to earn money as he did not have a talent’ |
[198]for anything. Oswald replied, "Don't worry. There are
[199]many ways to make good money." Oswald stated that he could
[200]get "good money? for example, by killing the President in a
[201]good way. Oswald further stated that "you don't know america."
[202]The people would make you a hero; they'd write books, maga-
[203]zine articles, even make movies about you. Further, Oswald
[204]implied that he most likely would not re¢eive the money per-
[205]sonally but that the money would go to his wife.
[207]| Golovachev further told Oslov that because of his
[208]contact with Oswald, immediately following the assassination
[209]of President Kennedy and identification of Oswald, the KGB
[210]took, him into custody. After hours of questioning, . the KGB
[212]">, searched his apartment and took ‘everything pertaining to Oswald,
[214]which included photographs and papers.

[223]It is surmised that as Golovachev became
[224]garrulous while drinking, the KGB discovered that he was
[225]still in. possession of a group photograph depicting Lee,
[226]Marina and Golovachev among other people. Accordingly,
[227]sometime in 1971 or 1972, the KGB took the photo.
[229]. Uslov explained that he wrote the complete ‘story
[230]in Russian and submitted it to the CIA.for transmittal to
[231]the HSCA. They advised that it be translated to English.
[233]In November of 1977, he sent the manuscript to Radio Freedom
[234]on 42nd Street in New York City for translation and to be
[235]forwarded to the Committee. It is his belief that he was
[236]contacted by the HSCA as a result of reading his manuscript.
[237]He is presently attempting to locate his copy, which is in
[238]Russian, ‘for our perusal.
[240]After giving a full dissertation on life in Russia,
[241]Uslov requested that his identity remain anonymous. He wanted
[243]to give his information only to the HSCA.
