In Donetsk, a monument was erected to the son of the Deputy Director of the CIA who died for the "Russian World"
Near one of the schools in Russian-occupied Donetsk, a bust was erected to Michael Gloss — a soldier of the Russian army who died near Chasiv Yar. The distinctiveness of this man is that he was the son of Julianna Gallina, the Deputy Director of the CIA for Digital Innovation. The appearance of the monument was reported by Aleksey Kulemzin, the head of the occupation administration of Donetsk.
The bust was installed on the territory of school №115. On the plaque, a slogan was written in Russian: "A soldier is not a profession, but a calling. There is no foreign land for those who fight for justice," and to it was added a phrase in English: "May the heroes be glorified!"
Next to the bust of the American, a bust of the Russian Ivan Kakovin was placed, who died during the same combat mission. In September, this school was already named after Gloss and Kakovin.
Earlier, US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, after a trip to Moscow, handed Gloss's mother, high-ranking CIA officer Julianna Gallina, the Russian Order of Courage, with which Putin posthumously honored her son. The CIA told CNN journalists that the family was deeply distressed by Michael's death and asked for their privacy to be respected.
According to an investigation by the "Vazhnye Istorii" publication, 21-year-old Gloss died in April 2024, serving under contract in the Russian army. In his social media, he wrote that he was angry at the USA and criticized its policies. He served in the 137th Ryazan Airborne Regiment of Russia. Michael told relatives that he was "at work" and saving money for a future trip to Africa.
