Michael Gloss, 21, was the son of CIA Deputy Director for Digital Innovation Julianne Gallina Gloss, and Iraq war veteran Larry Gloss.
Before arriving in Russia on August 13, 2023, Gloss was travelling around Europe. On his Vkontakte page bio, he wrote: “I ran away from home (and) traveled the world. I hate fascism.”
On April 4, 2024, he was killed, likely during a Russian offensive near Bakhmut, however, his burial in the U.S. did not take place until December 2024, Important Stories reports.

There’s a ton of comments about this on r/securityclearance about this and how crazy it is his parents still have clearances.
Being a russian asset seems to be a requirement now for government security clearances.
I wonder how much his actions were about believing in the Russian cause and how much about rebelling against his CIA parents.
