The 21-year-old son of the Deputy Director of the CIA fought for Russia against Ukraine, having signed a contract with the Russian military, and was later killed.
This was reported in an investigation by IStories.
The young man in question is Michael Gloss, the son of Juliane Gallina Gloss, the CIA’s Deputy Director for Digital Innovation, and Iraq war veteran Larry Gloss.
The publication learned that while studying at a U.S. college, he participated in protests against the abortion ban and in defense of climate action. He was generally a pacifist.
In 2023, Michael, without finishing his studies, went on a world trip. He traveled to several countries, including Turkey, where he helped clear rubble after the earthquake.
He told his friends that he wanted to go to work in Russia. After obtaining a visa in August 2023, he arrived in Vladikavkaz, then traveled to other Russian cities, and eventually ended up in Moscow.
He also joined the Russian VK social network, where he subscribed to groups about Lenin, Stalin, and posted videos with Putin. He also bought a Soviet flag.
As a Mercenary
As the publication uncovered, on September 1, 2023, Michael had just one week left on his visa to stay in Russia. He planned to travel to Europe. However, by September 5, he was already at a Russian army recruitment center in Moscow. There were other foreigners as well, including citizens from Nepal and China.
He was assigned to the 137th Guards Airborne Regiment of the Russian Airborne Forces. However, Michael told his family that he was supposedly in Russia for work and was saving money to travel through Africa.
Later, he created a profile on the Odnoklassniki social network, where he posted videos from the location of his unit.
In December 2023, Gloss likely arrived in the Donetsk region as part of the Russian invasion forces.
As IStories reports, on April 4, 2024, Michael was killed. This likely occurred during the Russian forces’ offensive in the Bakhmut sector. However, Michael was not buried until December 2024. His parents did not mention the cause of death in the obituary, but referred to it as tragic.

Hope his family is happy that the child they didn’t raise properly, fought for a Russian Dictator and died as a result!
Stupidity usually gets you killed, and this guy proved the point.
I don’t have my sympathy for anyone who leaves the US and fights for its enemy. To me that has always beena treasonable offense.
