He regretted creating a weapon that has taken so much life,life so precious!

This can only happen in the white mans land.They have conscience and are more human than what is found in Africa where sub humans inhibit.

Hate,tribal and religious bigotry is all we know in Africa.

Even the USA is corrupt they are practising Oligarchy in the form of democracy, despite the Chinese govt using capital punishment to curb corruption, some he/she goat are still embezzling funds and abuse of power in their country. No country is free of corruption.

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.

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.”

Of all the weapons in the vast soviet arsenal, nothing was more profitable than Avtomat Kalashnikova model of 1947. More commonly known as the AK-47, or Kalashnikov. It's the world's most popular assault rifle. A weapon all fighters love. An elegantly simple 9 pound amalgamation of forged steel and plywood. It doesn't break, jam, or overheat. It'll shoot whether it's covered in mud or filled with sand. It's so easy, even a child can use it; and they do. The Soviets put the gun on a coin. Mozambique put it on their flag. Since the end of the Cold War, the Kalashnikov has become the Russian people's greatest export.

Guns don't kill people...people kill people.

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
I swear. I was reading on Quora some months back and it was said that a writer mentioned that his friend reported a debt owed to him and debtor refused to pay.

Well the writer, being a russian with thick russian accent, picked up the phone and said.: "this iz (name here), pay my frieud hiz debt, Pay not delay"

My brother, the man pay that money o... I laff tire.

Kudos to you Explorer, the unveiler of provoking stories.

M. K. actually regretted his AK-47 invention truly. He said before his death thar he'd wished he invented an agricultural contraption or equipment rather.
Well, it is too late.

God gave human minds to create, but same human can be destructive with same ability for being creative.
Albert Einstein gave us the mathematical equation that gave us the Atomic Bomb, and he warned
against its misuse, but the rest is history because Hiroshima and the other city to have the first taste of
it are yet to recover.
Man: the most creative destroyer of all creations.

I disagree, if you have used them before, you'll have more confidence in Kalashnikov's in rapid fire situations

A corrupt man, fighting corruption?! Pls!

The only corruption putin is fighting, is against perceived antagonists!

This is someone that kills opposition, are they corrupt too?

Though, I read abt a call-in program, where citizens get to state their problems, n he actually acts on it.(roads, healthcare, abandoned projects etc).

Its like saying robin hood was not a criminal?
