Here's a long article about the so-called Mitrokhin archive, which were KGB archives compiled by a defector who worked as an archivist for the Soviet Union named . One of the key revelations is the KGB's influence in left-wing newspapers in Europe, especially Paese Sera in Italy, which was the source of the Clay Shaw/CIA connection. It essentially, and so far incorrectly, identified Shaw as a spy and agent of the CIA. This very article is what actually inspired Jim Garrison to pursue his entirely unsuccessful case against Clay Shaw (which was virtually laughed out of court) AND inspired Oliver Stone's JFK movie which is, of course, the source of so much of the JFK conspiracy nonsense.

Here's a book detailing Mitrokhin Archive and the usage of disinformation in the press by the KGB:

Fair enough but I personally don't take much stock in the finely split hairs between Marxist/Maoist/Communist/Leninist and whatever. The differences between them seem pretty fluid.

FWIW Lee Harvey Oswald ALSO said he WAS a Communist. In his written request to the Kremlin for Soviet citizenship he states: "“I am a communist and a worker and I have lived in a decadent capitalist society where the workers are slaves.”

My guess? He liked Marxism but he also like attention and would say whatever got him the most attention at that moment. Since they are pretty fluid, all definitions probably were accurate at one time or another.
