Washington, D.C. – In a diplomatic twist that echoes the Cold War intrigue surrounding one of America's greatest unsolved mysteries, U.S. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) has received a trove of declassified Soviet-era documents on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy directly from Russia's ambassador to the United States.

The 350-page dossier, hand-delivered by Ambassador Alexander Darchiev, promises to inject fresh – and potentially explosive – insights into the events of November 22, 1963, when shots rang out in Dallas, forever altering the course of history. Luna, a rising star in the Republican Party and chair of the House Select Committee on Government Secrets, announced the development on X late Tuesday, describing it as a historic breakthrough. "My office just received word from the @RusEmbUSA that the ambassador from Russia to the United States will be hand delivering the @GovernmentRF’s findings on who assassinated JFK to my office," she wrote. "This is a 350 page document. We will be uploading these documents as soon as we receive them working with @jeffersonmorley to ensure that the American people have direct access to them immediately."


The handover occurred Tuesday afternoon in Washington, where Darchiev personally met with Luna to present the materials compiled from Russian state archives. These files, declassified from KGB records, represent the first time Moscow has shared such intelligence with U.S. Congress since the 1990s, when lawmakers were repeatedly denied access. Luna emphasized the significance, noting that previous attempts by Congress to obtain these documents were rebuffed, making this a "first in history."


A Decades-Old Enigma Rekindled


The assassination of JFK has captivated conspiracy theorists, historians, and the public for over six decades. The Warren Commission concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, but doubts persist amid allegations of CIA cover-ups, Mafia involvement, and even foreign plots. Soviet involvement has long been a focal point of speculation, given the era's tense U.S.-Russia relations and Oswald's mysterious defection to the USSR in 1959.


These newly shared files stem from Soviet investigations conducted in the immediate aftermath of the killing. According to Russian officials, the documents include intelligence reports, witness statements, and analyses that could "shed more light on the tragedy." Ambassador Darchiev expressed optimism during the meeting, hoping the materials would contribute to ongoing U.S. efforts to uncover the full truth.


Luna's involvement adds a layer of contemporary political drama. As a member of the House Oversight and Foreign Affairs Committees, she has been a vocal advocate for declassifying sensitive government records. Earlier this year, she spearheaded the release of over 60,000 pages of JFK files under an executive order from President Donald Trump, which also targeted documents related to the assassinations of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In August, Luna revealed on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast that Russian intelligence had agreed to share KGB files, claiming the CIA may have destroyed original evidence handed over at JFK's funeral.


Geopolitical Chess or Genuine Cooperation?


The timing of the handover raises eyebrows amid strained U.S.-Russia relations, exacerbated by the ongoing war in Ukraine and mutual accusations of election meddling. Critics question whether Moscow's gesture is a goodwill olive branch or a calculated move to sow discord in American discourse. "Russia could’ve given Congresswoman Luna documents on the poisonings of Putin’s opponents... Instead, it came up with files on JFK’s murder – something it knows nothing about," quipped one X user, echoing broader skepticism. Yet Luna remains undeterred, framing the exchange as a triumph for transparency. Collaborating with Jefferson Morley, a renowned JFK assassination expert and author of The Ghost: The Secret Life of CIA Spymaster James Jesus Angleton, her team plans to begin translation and analysis on Wednesday. "A team of experts is coming to my office in the morning to begin translating and detailed analysis of the documents," Luna posted on X.


Social media erupted with reactions, blending excitement and caution. "Russia to hand over a '350-page document' to the US exposing who assassinated JFK," exclaimed podcaster Jackson Hinkle, garnering over 21,000 likes. Others, like RT, highlighted the irony: "The question remains: will the public get to see those papers?"


What Lies Within the Pages?


While the full contents remain under wraps until public release, early indications suggest the dossier delves into Oswald's Soviet ties and potential KGB surveillance. Russian media outlets like RT and TASS reported the transfer as a cooperative step toward Trump's promised follow-up probe into the assassination. If authenticated, these files could bolster longstanding theories or debunk them outright, reigniting debates immortalized in Oliver Stone's 1991 film JFK.


For Luna, a former Air Force veteran and fierce defender of declassification, this is personal. "It is important to note that Congress attempted to obtain these files in the 90’s and was denied," she wrote. "We have been given access to them now for the first time in history."


As experts pore over the documents, one thing is clear: the ghosts of Dealey Plaza refuse to rest. Whether this Russian revelation cracks the case wide open or adds another layer to the enigma, it underscores a timeless American quest – for truth, no matter how inconvenient. The files are expected to be uploaded to public archives imminently, inviting historians, skeptics, and citizens alike to weigh in on a puzzle that has haunted the nation for generations.
