The Soviet Union believed Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson may have ordered President John F. Kennedy's assassination, a newly-released memo reveals.
The note, from December 1, 1966, quotes a U.S. mole in Russia as saying that the KGB has 'data purporting to indicate Johnson was responsible'.
Moscow believed JFK's murder was a 'well-organized conspiracy on the part of the "ultraright" in the United States to effect a "coup".
In light of their suspicions, the KGB was ordered to carry out an investigation on the relationship between the Kennedy and Johnson families.
The Kremlin also feared that if they went public with the allegations, Johnson would start a nuclear war.
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover learned of the note and informed the White House of the Soviet suspicions.
This isn't the first time that Johnson has been spoken of as a possible suspect in the assassination .
JFK's own widow is said to have had her own suspicions about her husband's successor.
Jackie reportedly told friends that she believed Johnson and a cabal of Texas tycoons had orchestrated the Dallas shooting.
