Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Very selfish. He would not answer to that.
Mr. Jenner. Did it occur to you as a possibility, or among others in the Russian colony, that he might have had another objective, and that is that she would return to Russia?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Never. That never occurred to me. I do not think that. Knowing Marina, she would never go back to Russia. She liked the United States. She liked the facilities of life here. Of course, you never know people. You cannot vouch for them. But that was our opinion. Maybe we simplified too much the matters. I do not know.
Mr. Jenner. Did there come a time in the spring or the midwinter of 1963, latter part of January, and in February, in which there was any discussion, or you learned that Marina had made application to the Russian Embassy to return to Russia?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. No.
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. No discussion of that.
Mr. Jenner. And except for my now uttering it, you have been wholly unaware of it?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Wholly unaware of it. Totally unaware of that, never heard of that. What we learned, at that period—that she had her child christened in the Greek Orthodox Church against Oswald's strong objections.
Mr. Jenner. Were you personally aware of those objections?
