It has been revealed that the son of Juliane Gallina Gloss, the Biden-appointed CIA Deputy Director for Digital Innovation, was killed while allegedly fighting for Russia on the frontlines in Ukraine.
According to the New York Post, citing an investigation by an independent Russian outlet, iStories, 21-year-old Michael Alexander Gloss, the son of Juliane Gallina Gloss and Navy veteran Larry Gloss, left his American home, crossed into Russia, and joined the Russian military in hopes of gaining citizenship.
According to iStories, “Michael Gloss is one of more than 1,500 foreigners who passed through the Russian military recruitment center during the war in Ukraine, whose identities were established by IStories. In total, mercenaries from 48 countries — including EU states and the U.S. — are fighting on Russia’s side.”
In April, the Gloss family announced with profound sorrow the passing of their beloved son and brother, Michael Alexander Gloss.
“It is with tremendous sorrow, the Gloss family conveys the loss of their beloved son and brother, Michael Alexander Gloss. Michael was born in a rush, on a snowy evening, on December 4, 2002 and lived a brief, but fiercely beautiful life until he was taken from us during his travels overseas. Michael should be remembered for his noble heart, and warrior spirit.
As a boy, Michael was affectionate and curious, with a gift for building and fondness for nature and all its creatures. Given a few minutes and any materials at all, Michael would build a shelter for those around him. He created snow caves, tree and pillow forts, forest shelters and secret lookouts for friends, sisters and dogs. Spending time with Michael was certain to include adventure, motion, invention and laughter.”
His father confirmed his death to The Post and said his son, Michael, suffered from mental illness, which manifested in grandiose ideas about water purification and environmental causes.
“One of the manifestations of his mental illness was grandiosity. He always cared about the environment. He always wanted to take care of those disadvantaged, less able,” Larry Gloss told The Post.
“In Michael’s thinking, which I now conclude largely as a function of some text exchange he’s had with comrades before his demise, he thought the best way of realizing his dreams of water purification would be as a citizen of Russia. And the quickest way to get there, the quickest way to Russian citizenship would be through serving.”
According to iStories, Michael Gloss’s journey from a U.S. Eagle Scout to a Russian mercenary was no accident.
Fueled by the extremist ideologies pumped through today’s far-left academic institutions, radical “climate justice” activism, and anti-American sentiment, Michael’s story reads like a chilling warning of what happens when our youth are indoctrinated instead of educated.
Gloss attended the ultra-left College of the Atlantic in Maine — hailed as “America’s Greenest College” — where activism takes precedence over academics.
There, he joined climate protests that disrupted baseball games and fought against the abortion bans at sporting events. He was even arrested for his antics.
Yet his radicalization didn’t stop there. Gloss openly expressed hatred for the United States, publicly burned the American flag, and mocked American values on social media.
After drifting into far-left activism in college, Michael Gloss fled America. He spent months wandering through Europe and the Middle East, dabbling with fringe groups like the Rainbow Family and immersing himself in anti-American, anti-capitalist ideology.
By his own admission, he “ran away” from the U.S., which he called a country of “financial warfare” and “institutional violence.”
Michael wrote in one of the Telegram chats obtained by iStories:
“You can’t not witness war. There are too many types of violence that war has spread to now. Financial violence, institutional, emotional, and of course physical.
My point being America teaches financial warfare in the army now.
The modern soldier is a business person.
The racist people in America don’t want to invade turkey with an army and navy.. they want to bleed the economy and enslave the Turkish people (really they want to enslave everyone wit darker skin) into wage slavery to be working poor.
This is the modern way of warfare. And you cannot deny that we are already surrounded by this.
The upside is that the western FIAT based monetary system is failing because it was built stupidly. While China and Brics are leading the way with innovating markets through gold and other commodity reserves.
This spirit of being a nation for all nations that you see in turkey there is a word for it in English.
Intersectionality. To have solidarity intersectionally with oppressed peoples and nations is the essence of socialism and communism.
The world is uniting around these principles by opposing the nato western hegemony. South America and Africa are already wholly Chinese owned. The world by population is anti western alliance.
[…]
I have faith in turkey because! If China can broker a peace deal between Saudi Arabia AND Iran! And get them both to join the brics alliance. Straight up our species will be fine.”
In 2023, after failed attempts to live in ecovillages and post-disaster zones like Hatay, Turkey, Gloss decided to head toward Russia — a country he saw as a bulwark against Western “imperialism,” according to iStories.
He entered through the Georgia-Russia border and traveled across cities like Vladikavkaz, Volgograd, and Moscow, living hand-to-mouth, even resorting to theft to survive.
In Moscow, facing visa expiration and dwindling resources, Gloss made the fateful decision to enlist in the Russian Defense Ministry’s foreign recruitment program.
He signed official paperwork at a Moscow military enlistment office on Yablochkova Street and began training at the Avangard center outside the capital — joining a group largely composed of Nepalese and Chinese recruits.
Under the alias “Hamza Ali,” Gloss shaved his head, donned a red keffiyeh, and trained for combat.
Despite his fragile physical appearance and limited Russian language skills, Gloss managed to complete his basic training and was shipped off to join the 137th Guards Airborne Regiment in Ryazan — a prestigious Russian airborne unit. According to fellow soldiers, Gloss maintained an almost messianic belief that his service would help him achieve a “greater ecological mission” — even as he prepared for the brutality of the battlefield.
In December 2023, Gloss left one of his final voice messages for old acquaintances:
“Hey fam, I’m in Russia. Yeah, I’m working here. I’m trying to get a passport and money, you know, so I can travel across Africa because I also like the warm weather. It’s like negative 10 here. It’s crazy. There’s so much snow. It’s, like, as tall as I am. But yeah, things are good. Despite the cold and the fact that I don’t see the sun for like a month. but it’s fun. I have lots of friends that I’m learning Russian things are good.”
By early 2024, he was deployed to the frontlines in the Donetsk Oblast, where Russian forces were engaged in fierce trench warfare.
On April 4, 2024, Michael Gloss was killed during an offensive operation near Rozdolivka and Vesele, Ukraine — his idealistic “hero’s journey” ending not in triumph, but in tragedy.
