Michael Bohm (Russian: Майкл Бом) is an American-born journalist who is residing in Moscow, Russia.

Bohm is a regular guest on Russian television political programs such as Time Will Tell, Special Correspondent, and Evening with Vladimir Solovyov.

In 2015 a book was published in his name, President Putin's Mistake, in which Bohm sued the author for intellectual property violations.

[1][8] Bohm received nationwide attention throughout Russia in 2013 when during a TV appearance, he said Russian's views on gay rights were primitive.

The incident erupted after a heated discussion about the US having denied the Russian consulate in San Francisco diplomatic status in 2017, after which US authorities removed Russia's flags from the compound.

They allege that Bohm made these TV appearances in the guise of representing a critical view of Russian policies, only to abruptly change face throughout the program to a more pro-Russia stance.

Arte advocates for a more critical look at the role of Bohm and other western political commentators involved in Russian television.
