A monument to Mikhail Kalashnikov, the designer of the prolific assault rifle that bears his name, has been unveiled in Moscow.

Kalashnikov died in 2013 aged 94 in the city of Izhevsk where he lived.

He was the creator of the AK-47 assault rifle, the world’s most popular firearm.

An estimated 100 million guns are spread worldwide.


Kalashnikov came up with the idea of inventing a new automatic rifle that could work in all conditions after becoming disgruntled by the Soviet weaponry as he recovered from an injury during WWII.


Eventually that led to the creation of the AK-47 short in Russian for Avtomat Kalashnikova 1947 (Kalashnikov Automatic Rifle 1947).


Known for its simplicity, the gun became a symbol for independence struggles and leftist radicals around the world during the Cold War.



Russian Minister of Culture Vladimir Medinsky said at the monument’s opening on Tuesday that the Kalashnikov rifle has become “Russia’s cultural brand”.


The monument in Moscow shows Kalashnikov cradling his rifle.


Kalashnikov was born into a peasant family in Siberia, began brooding about a new rifle design after being wounded in a 1941 battle against Nazi forces, and finished it in 1947.


Six months before his death at age 94, he wrote to the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, expressing regret for his role in making the world's most commonly used rifle.


The inventor wrote the tortured letter to the head of the church.


Kalashnikov insisted his “spiritual pain is unbearable.” “I keep having the same unsolved question:

If my rifle claimed people’s lives, then can it be that I…a Christian and an Orthodox believer, was to blame for their deaths?”


It’s the politicians who are to blame for failing to come to an agreement and resorting to violence.”

Someone made the nuclear bomb sir.

Someone threw the first nuclear bomb code named - Little boy.

Even after seeing the devastation, someone else threw a second nuclear bomb named Fat boy.

Well deserved. I have a lot of comparisons between assault rifles and honestly the AK47 has been the most rugged and consistent. Even the Americans will admit to it despite their competitive M16 and AR15 rifles. Russians are just badd... No wonder they're always on the CIA's watch out list. grin


No gun can be like the ak47. It was the main reason why the nazi cldnt invade russia, then the weather.

I disagree, if you have used them before, you'll have more confidence in Kalashnikov's in rapid fire situations
Bullshitt.
There are far better weapons now.
I would rather go to war with an FN FAL, an Israel TAVOR or the American Carbine.
Even the Russians have upgraded to something much better.

That is the problem I have with Putin, clamping down on oppositions. But he is clamping down on corrupt officials, the Oligarchs that brought him to power have all fled Russia because he couldn't down to their tunes. I watched one video where he questioned one contractor that abandoned a project.
Putin himself is highly corrupt.
Corruption cannot fight corruption. The best you can have is a selective corruption fight just like what obtains under buhari.
The day Russia becomes truly democratic like the united states where the rule of law has no respect for persons or positions, that is when Russia begins its real fight against corruption.
It is by far the largest country in the world by land area with humongous resources, yet they are among the poorest per capital in Europe and their economy is shrinking.

You have been hearing AK-47 all your life and you never for once thought you should Google the meaning? Or you think the letters AK and the numbers 47 is simply for decorations? Well as long as you have learnt the meaning no problem, I learnt it long ago and still can't pronounce it well anyway.

Once they evolved on the caucus ice and invented all types of killing machines, the world had not known peace. They used those weapons against themselves and were later to turn it on Africans, taking many to slavery. See http://www.africason.com/2017/09/why-europeans-were-able-to-conquer.html

I've fired the weapons you mentioned and I can tell you AK47 beats them, when talking about weapons don't even mention FN FAL.
