A bust of the son of the CIA deputy director has been installed in Donetsk
In Donetsk, on the grounds of School No. 115, a bust was installed to Michael Gloss, the son of CIA Deputy Director Julianne Gloss, who fought on Russia’s side and was eliminated on April 4, 2024 near Chasiv Yar.
This was reported by Russian media.
The grotesque busts of the mercenary and his fellow serviceman Ivan Kokovin were installed on December 9, according to Donetsk gauleiter Oleksiy Kulemzin.
A plaque attached to Gloss’s bust reads: “A soldier is not a profession but a calling. There is no foreign land for those who fight for justice.”
The plaque ends with: “May the heroes be glorified!”
Another pair of busts of Gloss and Kokovin was installed the same day in the village of Otrok in Krasnoyarsk Krai (Russia), where Kokovin was born, according to regional legislator Yegor Vasilyev. Judging by photos, the plaque dedicated to Gloss there does not include the English inscription.
U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff presented Russia’s “Order of Courage” to the family of 21-year-old American Michael Gloss, who fought against Ukraine on Russia’s side and was eliminated in 2024.
