Monument unveiled to creator of Kalashnikov rifle
(19 Sep 2017) A towering monument to Mikhail Kalashnikov, the designer of the prolific assault rifle that bears his name, was unveiled in Moscow on Tuesday.
Kalashnikov died in 2013 at age 94 in the city of Izhevsk where he lived.
He has received accolades as the creator of the AK-47 assault rifle, the world's most popular firearm.
An estimated 100 million guns are spread worldwide.
Russian Minister of Culture Vladimir Medinsky said at the monument's opening Tuesday that the Kalashnikov rifle has become Russia's cultural brand.
The monument in downtown Moscow shows Kalashnikov cradling his rifle.
Kalashnikov, 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 finalized it in 1947.
One civic activist was detained shortly after the monument was unveiled, on charges that were not immediately known.

Mikhail Kalashnikov, Inventor Of AK-47 Rifle, Dead At 94 In Russia
Mikhail Kalashnikov, Inventor Of AK-47 Rifle, Dead At 94 In Russia
Mikhail Kalashnikov, whose work as a weapons designer for the Soviet Union is immortalized in the name of the world's most popular firearm, died Monday at the age of 94.
Kalashnikov once aspired to design farm equipment. But even though his most famous invention — the AK-47 assault rifle — sowed havoc instead of crops, he often said he felt personally untroubled by his contribution to bloodshed.
I sleep well. It's the politicians who are to blame for failing to come to an agreement and resorting to violence, he said in 2007.
Kalashnikov died in a hospital in Izhevsk, the capital of the Udmurtia republic where he lived, said Viktor Chulkov, a spokesman for the republic's president. He did not give a cause of death. Kalashnikov had been hospitalized for the past month with unspecified health problems.
The AK-47 — Avtomat Kalashnikov and the year it went into production — is the world's most popular firearm, favored by guerrillas, terrorists and the soldiers of many armies. An estimated 100 million guns are spread worldwide.
Though it isn't especially accurate, its ruggedness and simplicity are exemplary: it performs in sandy or wet conditions that jam more sophisticated weapons such as the U.S. M-16.
During the Vietnam war, American soldiers would throw away their M-16s to grab AK-47s and bullets for it from dead Vietnamese soldiers, Kalashnikov said in July 2007 at a ceremony marking the rifle's 60th anniversary.
The weapon's suitability for jungle and desert fighting made it nearly ideal for the Third World insurgents backed by the Soviet Union, and Moscow not only distributed the AK-47 widely but also licensed its production in some 30 other countries.
The gun's status among revolutionaries and national-liberation struggles is enshrined on the flag of Mozambique.
Kalashnikov, born into a peasant family in Siberia, began his working life as a railroad clerk. After he joined the Red Army in 1938, he began to show mechanical flair by inventing several modifications for Soviet tanks.
The moment that firmly set his course was in the 1941 battle of Bryansk against Nazi forces, when a shell hit his tank. Recovering from wounds in the hospital, Kalashnikov brooded about the superior automatic rifles he'd seen the Nazis deploy; his rough ideas and revisions bore fruit five years later.
Blame the Nazi Germans for making me become a gun designer, said Kalashnikov. I always wanted to construct agricultural machinery.
In 2007, President Vladimir Putin praised him, saying The Kalashnikov rifle is a symbol of the creative genius of our people.
Over his career, he was decorated with numerous honors, including the Hero of Socialist Labor and Order of Lenin and Stalin Prize. But because his invention was never patented, he didn't get rich off royalties.
At that time in our country patenting inventions wasn't an issue. We worked for Socialist society, for the good of the people, which I never regret, he once said.
Kalashnikov continued working into his late 80s as chief designer of the Izmash company that first built the AK-47. He also traveled the world helping Russia negotiate new arms deals, and he wrote books on his life, about arms and about youth education.
After the collapse of the great and mighty Soviet Union so much crap has been imposed on us, especially on the younger generation, he said. I wrote six books to help them find their way in life.
He said he was proud of his bronze bust installed in his native village of Kurya in the Siberian region of Altai. He said newlyweds bring flowers to the bust. They whisper 'Uncle Misha, wish us happiness and healthy kids,' he said. What other gun designer can boast of that?
Vassili Zaitsev tells about sniper duel with Major Koenig
Zaitsev almost made it to Berlin but was wounded at Seelow Heights in 1945,he quickly recovered and finished the war on the Dniestr. Stalin was interested in Zaitsev and ordered him to write a report,Stalin had this report published in section 1 of the Red Army field manual.
Zaitsev made a quoate- In Stalingrad the German officer corps was beheaded.
Bio-Captain Vassili Grigorevich Zaitsev (Russian: Василий Григорьевич Зайцев) (March 23, 1915December 15, 1991) was a Soviet sniper during World War II, notable particularly for his activities between October 1942 and and January 1943 during the Battle of Stalingrad. He killed 242 soldiers and officers of the Wehrmacht and other Axis armies, including 11 enemy snipers, but the real number may be much higher,some argue it might have been as many as 500. Prior to November 10, he had already killed 40 Axis soldiers with the standard-issue Mosin-Nagant rifle. His military rank at the time was Junior Lieutenant.
Zaitsev was born in Yeleninskoye and grew up in the Ural Mountains. His surname Zaitsev has the same root as the word hare (zayats) in Russian. Before going to Stalingrad, he served in the Russian Navy as a clerk but upon reading about the brutality of the fighting in Stalingrad, he volunteered for front-line duty. Zaitsev served in the 1047th Rifle Regiment of the 284th Rifle Division of the 62nd Army. He is notable for having participated in the Battle of Stalingrad. There, Zaitsev set up a snipers' training school in the Metiz factory; it was run by Zaytsev. The snipers Zaytsev trained were nicknamed zaichata, meaning leverets (baby hares). Antony Beevor wrote in Stalingrad that this was the start of the sniper movement in the 62nd Army. Conferences were arranged to spread the doctrine of sniperism and exchange ideas on technique and principles that were not limited to marksmanship skills. It is estimated that the snipers Zaytsev trained killed more than 3,000 enemy soldiers.
Zaitsev took part in the battle for Stalingrad until January 1943, when he suffered an injury to his eyes from a mortar attack. He was attended to by Professor Filatov, who is credited with restoring his sight. On February 22, 1943 Zaitsev was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union. He then returned to the front and finished the war on the Dniestr River with the military rank of Captain. After the end of the war, Zaitsev visited Berlin, where he met friends who served with him. After the war, Zaitsev managed a factory in Kiev, and remained in that city until he died at the age of 76 after suffering from a disease.

Mikhail Kalashnikov Felt Responsible For Deaths By Invention
The inventor of the Kalashnikov assault rifle apparently wrote to the head of the Russian Orthodox Church before he died expressing fears he was personally responsible for the people it killed.
Mikhail Kalashnikov, who died last month aged 94, wrote a long emotional letter to Patriarch Kirill in May 2012, church officials say.
He said he was suffering spiritual pain over the many deaths it caused.
Kalashnikov had previously refused to accept responsibility for those killed.
'Devilish desires'
But in a letter, published in Russia's pro-Kremlin newspaper Izvestia, he wrote: My 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? he asked.
The longer I live, he continued, the more this question drills itself into my brain and the more I wonder why the Lord allowed man to have the devilish desires of envy, greed and aggression.
The letter is typed on Kalashnikov's personal writing paper, and is signed with a wavering hand by the man who describes himself as a slave of God, the designer Mikhail Kalashnikov.
The Kalashnikov, or AK-47, is one of the world's most familiar and widely used weapons.
Its comparative simplicity made it cheap to manufacture, as well as reliable and easy to maintain.
It is thought that more than 100 million Kalashnikov rifles have been sold worldwide.
Kalashnikov refused to accept responsibility for the many people killed by his weapon, blaming the policies of other countries that acquired it.
However, pride in his invention was tempered with sadness at its use by criminals and child soldiers.
It is painful for me to see when criminal elements of all kinds fire from my weapon, Kalashnikov said in 2008.
He designed this rifle to defend his country, not so terrorists could use it in Saudi Arabia
Cyril Alexander Volkov Press secretary for Russian Patriarch Kirill
Defend his country
In his letter to Patriarch Kirill, Kalashnikov said that he first went into a church at the age of 91 and was later baptised.
The BBC's Steve Rosenberg in Moscow says it is unclear how much of it he wrote himself. Izvestia quotes Kalashnikov's daughter, Elena, as saying she believes a priest helped her father compose the letter.
The press secretary for the Russian Patriarch, Cyril Alexander Volkov, told the paper the religious leader had received Kalashnikov's letter and had written a reply.
The Church has a very definite position: when weapons serve to protect the Fatherland, the Church supports both its creators and the soldiers who use it, Mr Volkov was quoted as saying.
He designed this rifle to defend his country, not so terrorists could use it in Saudi Arabia.
Kalashnikov received many Russian state honours, including the Order of Lenin and the Hero of Socialist Labour, but made little money from his gun.
He died on 23 December after being admitted to hospital a month earlier with internal bleeding.

Legendary Russian Gunsmith And a General Mikhail Kalashnikov inventor Of The AK-47 Assault Rifle
Kalashnikov was, according to himself, a self-taught tinkerer who combined innate mechanical skills with the study of weaponry to design arms that achieved battlefield ubiquity. Even though Kalashnikov felt sorrow at the weapons' uncontrolled distribution, he took pride in his inventions and in their reputation for reliability, emphasizing that his rifle is a weapon of defense and not a weapon for offense.
During his career, Kalashnikov designed about 150 models of small weapons. The most famous of them are:
AK-47
AKM
AK-74 / AKS-74U / AK-74M / AKS-74
AK-101 / AK-102
AK-103 / AK-104
AK-105
AK-12
RPK / RPK-74
PK / PKM / PKP
Saiga semi-automatic rifle
From 1949, Mikhail Kalashnikov lived and worked in Izhevsk, Udmurtia. He held a degree of Doctor of Technical Sciences (1971) and was a member of 16 academies.
Over the course of his career, he evolved the basic design into a weapons family. The AKM(Russian: Автомат Кала́шникова Модернизированный – Kalashnikov modernized assault rifle) first introduced in 1959, was lighter and cheaper to manufacture owing to the use of a stamped steel receiver (in place of the AK-47's milled steel receiver), and contained detail improvements such as a re-shaped stock and muzzle compensator. From the AKM he developed a squad automatic weapon variant, known as the RPK(Russian: Ручной пулемет Кала́шникова – Kalashnikov light machine gun).
He also developed the general-purpose PK machine gun (Russian: Пулемет Кала́шникова – Kalashnikov machine gun), which used the more powerful 7.62×54Rcartridge of the Mosin–Nagant rifle. It is cartridge belt-fed, not magazine-fed, as it is intended to provide heavy sustained fire from a tripod mount, or be used as a light, bipod-mounted weapon. The common characteristics of all these weapons are simple design, ruggedness and ease of maintenance in all operating conditions.
Approximately 100 million AK-47 assault rifles had been produced by 2009, and about half of them are counterfeit, manufactured at a rate of about a million per year. Izhmash, the official manufacturer of AK-47 in Russia, did not patent the weapon until 1997, and in 2006 accounted for only 10% of the world's production. This arm became famous due to its reliability in the most extreme climatic conditions, functioning perfectly in the desert as in the tundra. It is in official use by the militaries of 55 nations, and has been so influential in military struggle that it has been used on national flags. Prominent examples include the flags of Mozambique and Hezbollah, as well as the East Timorese and Zimbabwean coats of arms.
Kalashnikov himself claimed he was always motivated by service to his country rather than money, and made no direct profit from weapon production.
Recipients of the Order of St. Andrew
In 1998, he was awarded an Order of Saint Andrew the Protoclete
On his 90th birthday on 10 November 2009, Kalashnikov was named a Hero of the Russian Federation and presented with a medal by President Dmitry Medvedev who lauded him for creating the brand every Russian is proud of
In 2012, Izhevsk State Technical Universitywas named after Kalashnikov
On 7 November 2014 a statue of Kalashnikov was unveiled at the Russian 102nd Military Base in Gyumri, Armenia. Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyanattended the opening ceremony.
On 19 September 2017 a 9 metres (30 ft) monument of Kalashnikov was unveiled in Garden Ring, central Moscow. A protester, later detained by police, attempted to unfurl a banner reading a creator of weapons is a creator of death.
