A 21-year-old man died in Ukraine's Russian army and has been identified as the son of a senior CIA official.
Michael Gloss was killed in April last year on the front line in the eastern Donetsk region, according to a Russian investigation into exports.
He is the son of Juliane Gallina, deputy director of digital innovation at the CIA, and U.S. Navy veteran Larry Gloss, who participated in Operation Desert Storm during the Gulf War in the early 1990s.

In 2021, Michael Gloss enrolled at Atlantic College in Bar Harbour, Maine, a liberal arts college known for encouraging students to interact with nature. The following year, he was detained by police during a climate protest in Washington, D.C.
In social media and online chats with members of the Rainbow family, Rainbow Family is a counterculture group whose roots are activism in the 1970s, Gloss talks about his dislike for the United States.
“When I finally figured out how the American political system worked, I realized that violence was an integral part of it,” he wrote in the telegram.
On Instagram, he posted a photo of himself stating that he reached his finger to the U.S. Capitol. Another article shows the burning American flag.

A former Boy Scout and a high school hockey player said he was angry at Israel’s war in Gaza and became an avid consumer of conspiracy theories.
According to an important story, he told a friend that Western hegemony is fading and that the future will be a “multipolar world” ruled by the BRICS countries, a line of Russian propaganda. The BRICS is an intergovernmental organization that includes Russia, India, China, Iran and several other countries.
The robbery gained the nickname “Jesus”
Before eventually joining the Russian army, the long-haired activist wandered among Europe and Türkiye, sometimes wearing long medieval robes and carrying wooden staff.
In April 2023, he went to Israel to visit the “ecological village”. Authorities confiscated his property and deported him.
In Türkiye, now called himself Hamza, he joined the relief work after the earthquake in the Hatai region. He earned a quirky reputation for loving nature at a party of the Rainbow Family in the Turkish border town of Kiyikoy, and was photographed once with a shepherd who puts abandoned chicks in a cardboard box.
Gloss bought a long red robe at a Turkish clothing store. A friend Gamze told the important story of Gloss buying all the bread in the bakery and distributing it to the rainbow attendees, and people began to call him “Jesus.”
“Hungry blood''
In May 2023, he wrote online: “Mom told me that I could come back anytime. She tried to get me down and called her to buy her tickets home.”
But he said he was placed on his path. He said: “I find myself living more and more. I long for blood and glory.
“It would be a sad day for Itthoba'al [a name he had adopted] When the club must be passed to the next incarnation. But so far, I may have just incarnated in time to defeat the mortality and military industrial complex. ”
When asked how he planned to beat the latter, he said that if he said, people wouldn't believe him.
Gloss into Russia
In the summer of 2023, he traveled through Russia, attended a festival and took pictures in the red square, wearing a red keffiyeh. In early September, he wrote in a telegram that his Russian visa would expire within a week.
By the fall of 2023, he received a Russian visa in Istanbul and crossed Crimea.

By September 5, he had joined the Russian army, while Michael Alexander Gloss' data appeared in the Amia Medical database. According to important stories, his address was listed as a medical examination room for foreign recruits.
During training in the 137th Airborne Regiment in Reshang City, he told recruits that he wanted to obtain Russian citizenship so that he could work on the country's environmental infrastructure projects, according to The Important Story.
Videos posted by Nepali and other foreign recruits show a shaved glossy smile. He told Rainbow Family Friend “Murt” that he joined not as a fight, but as a passport.

“My goal in life is to build an infrastructure to oxidize water in a hypercritical state. To end environmental pollution and pollution-related diseases and deaths, i.e., cancer, lymphoma and all hormone problems associated with microplastics and estrogens in the water.”
The important story spoke to members of the 137th Legion, who said that after training, Glow was sent to the commando. He logged into the March Telegram for the last time.
According to his family's sue, Gloss died on April 4. At that time, the 137th Legion was fighting the northwest of Soledar, between the towns of Rozdolivka and Vesele.
In telegram posts to the 106th Division, the positions were described as “adverse” and the landscape was “severe”, including the 137th Regiment. The exact circumstances of Gloss' death are not yet known.
Eight months after his death, Gloss's family held a funeral for him in Fairfax, Virginia.

“[He] A higher sense of fairness… [and] Hope the world is a better place.
“He knew the names of trees and plants, and liked to sleep under the stars and cook on fire.
“When Michael was brutally murdered in Eastern Europe on April 4, 2024, Michael forged his heroic journey with his noble heart and warrior spirit.”
Navy veteran Ms. Galina joined the CIA in 2019. On LinkedIn, her profile says her current role involves “accelerating the digital transformation of my agency to sustain our country’s strategic strengths.”
