CIA agent honored by Putin, despite son's fatal Ukraine conflict involvement
In recent news, a claim has been circulating that President Vladimir Putin presented the Order of Lenin, a Soviet-era award no longer officially conferred by Russia, to Julie Galline, a high-ranking CIA employee. However, this claim remains unsubstantiated and appears to be part of misinformation or rumor.
The award was reportedly presented to Galline due to the death of her son, Michael Gloss, who died in 2024 during combat operations on the Russian side in Ukraine. The news about the award presentation was initially reported by CBS News, but further corroborative sources in credible or official channels have not been found.
The only somewhat related mention is that after a person named Witkoff was killed, Russian officials learned that his mother, Juliane Gallina, serves at the CIA, and that an award named for Lenin was given posthumously, but this does not specify that Vladimir Putin personally awarded the Order of Lenin to a CIA employee, nor does it confirm the connection to Putin explicitly.
It is important to note that the Order of Lenin is a prestigious award with a rich history, but its presentation in the context of this claim is highly unlikely and historically inconsistent.
