"Mikhail Kalashnikov" the maker of death, whose conscience woke up too late

"Mikhail Kalashnikov" the maker of death, whose conscience woke up too late  The balance of history has always been just, either to judge a person by his goodness or to judge him by his evil, but on one rare occasion history was confused and the balance between good and evil was balanced, and the name of a man who was and still is the cause of killing a quarter of a million people every year has been immortalized with pride. This is Mikhail Kalashnikov, a wounded Russian soldier who made the AK47.  The enemy of the people, the soldier Contradictions in the life of "Kalashnikov" At first, everything was destined for Mikhail Kalashnikov to be passionate about the world of weapons. He lived in the rusty village of Izhvisk because of its large rusty water tank, which turned the waters of its large lake red. Perhaps the rust of the tank was the reason for the passion of the people of that village to manufacture weapons, they used to Although the village was known for its calm and coolness of nerves, it turned into a rebellious village, whose people were classified by the Soviet Communist Party under the name “enemies of the people”.  The movie "Kalashnikov vs. the M16" Mikhail Kalashnikov began his life with a strange contradiction, as is the contradiction of the village in which he lived. During Stalin's rule, his family was displaced to Siberia, and the company of millions of Russians was classified as rebels.  In the year 1930, Mikhail was eleven years old, and his only fault was that his family belonged to the kulaks, the peasants who owned enough land to enable them to produce a little surplus to invest in trade, but they were classified as enemies of the people.  The life of this class was not easy because of the fires that came on their cows and pigs and the targeting of thousands of people from them, and although "Mikhail" was a witness to the Soviet oppression machine because of the kulaks' resistance to the first five-year plan of compulsory mass industrialization that forcibly drove thousands of peasants to factories in the cities; He took up arms and fought in the ranks of the Soviet army after he joined it in 1938, and worked as a tank mechanic, later becoming a team captain in the 12th Tank Brigade in Ukraine, and participating in the battles against the Nazis in 1941, but the strange contradiction that accompanied him throughout his life is that question Who made him sleep until his death, was what he invented one day good or evil?  The accident of the damaged German pistol a ticket to the weapon theater The story of "Kalashnikov" began with his innovation, which immortalized his name while lying in bed wounded after being wounded in one of the battles of the Soviet army against the Nazis in 1941, and paved the way for his glory when he decided to create a single weapon that could compete with the German "STG 44" rifle, but the story of his passion With weapons, he started before he joined the Soviet army, when he accidentally found a damaged German pistol and decided to repair it, and he spent a great deal of time for that, but a snitch led to his arrest and interrogation, so Kalashnikov was forced to deny it.  Young Mikhail resisted fiercely and intelligently so as not to end up as a traitor in a Soviet prison, and since then he has been wrestling with bad coincidences and looking for a chance to live without fear of arrest because of his family's nickname, which he earned through displacement and oppression.  The Kalashnikov assault rifle, known as the AK47, was made by Russian soldier Mikhail Kalashnikov. The story of "Mikhail Kalashnikov" did not end with ironing. When he was 18 years old, he fled his village after the German pistol accident, and worked in Kazakhstan as an employee of the railway company, and in that experience he found a large margin for his passion, as he mixed with iron craftsmen and company technicians, That margin grew when he joined the Soviet army when he reached the age of 19, and his passion for engineering and physics mingled with a new passion, which is the manufacture of weapons and military vehicles, so he invented a device to measure the number of tank artillery rounds, and he was greatly appreciated by one of the most famous officers in the history of the Soviet Union, General “Georgi” Zhukov".  “The weapon that changed the world” the crime of the Germans against humanity The curse of the family nickname "Kalashnikov" began to fade when he was wounded in one of the battles against the Nazi army, when he was 22 years old. Kalashnikov was taken to a hospital for treatment, and there he began to think of inventing it. Mikhail says: In the hospital, I heard wounded people complaining that they did not have machine guns, when all Nazi soldiers had them.  His injury made him indebted to that battle that motivated him to create an assault rifle. He defended himself against those who described him as a serial killer in his memoirs “The Weapon that Changed the World” by saying: It is the Germans’ fault that I became a gunsmith, and without them I would have been a maker of agricultural machines.  "Mikhail Kalashnikov" holds his picture as a young man during his design of his famous weapon named after him During a visit to Germany, Mikhail regretted that his weapon had reached the hands of the terrorists, in a statement reported by the newspaper "The Guardian", and said: "I am proud of my invention, but I regret its use by terrorists. Like a lawn mower, for example.  The AK 47 submachine gun a rifle that surpassed its predecessors and successors Mikhail Kalashnikov used his recovery period to design an easy-to-use weapon that any soldier with an average education level could use. Although he was not good at drawing or design, he insisted on implementing his idea, as his daughter, Elena, says: He was not talented, But he had a great imagination.  And in 1942 he sent a prototype of a submachine gun to the Dzerzhinsky Academy in Samarkand (Uzbek SSR), but it was rejected by General "Blagonravov", although he testified to him of his talent for innovation, but this rejection did not discourage Mikhail from continuing to improve In 1944, he developed a sample of a self-loading rifle, which was the basis for the AK-47 in its final form, which he created in 1946, while developing it in 1947.  This assault rifle was distinguished in its new design for speed and efficiency, and it was a weapon resistant to moisture, heat, mud and water, so it outperformed the American “M16” rifle, which was invented ten years after the invention of the AK47, and these characteristics favored the battlefields in favor of the rifle. Soviet.  Mikhail Kalashnikov presents one of his weapons designs to senior Russian army officers That design was his ticket to enter the Soviet Union's golden record after the Soviet Army adopted in 1947 the invention, which was an easy-to-use submachine gun called the AK47, an acronym for Avtomat Kalashnikov, better known as Kalashnikov. The Field Scientific Center for Light Weapons, and there he put the last touches on his offensive piece, which history entered through the Great Gate.  The "Kalashnikov" rifle proudly attributed the name of its creator to his hometown of "Izhvisk", from which he left a young boy with his family nearly thirty years before the design of his famous weapon, and he made more than one hundred million pieces of that weapon while the ownership of the invention remained for the Soviet Union, and the The innovator makes a fortune from it, though he once said, commenting on being awarded the Stalin Prize in 1949: With this money I could buy a dozen (ie: 12) cars of the highest quality.  The decorated team a submerged man in the Supreme Soviet Mikhail Kalashnikov did not finish his studies and did not even go beyond secondary school, but this did not represent an obstacle to him, as most of the Soviet soldiers were of the same level of education, and he says about himself, "My universities where I learned are the books," but in his twenty-ninth year he harvested the most important Awards, and became a prominent figure, and was elected six times to the Supreme Soviet since 1950, three years after the manufacture of his famous rifle.  Kalashnikov, who did not finish secondary education, became a member of the Supreme Soviet, and most importantly, the name of the Death Maker was immortalized in the lines of the poetry of Rasul Gamzatov, the achievement of cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, the literature of Mikhail Sholokhov and the masterpieces of Rimsky-Korsakov.  After Mikhail Kalashnikov was an unknown man, he became one of the most prominent leaders of the Supreme Soviet, and he used to say: Except for my colleagues in the factory, I knew no one, and no one knew me, and when I announced my appointment as a candidate for the prosecution, I was shocked.  First President of the Russian Federation, Boris Yeltsin, honors and promotes Mikhail Kalashnikov to the rank of Lieutenant-General Mikhail Kalashnikov won a great honor because of that invention, despite being deprived of his intellectual property for his invention that bore his name and brought it back to the Soviet Union, but he became the most decorated man in Russia after he invented nearly 150 types of weapons, and thus received many honors, the most important of which is the "Lenin Medal". The Stalin Prize in 1949 and the Order of Hero of Socialist Labor. However, most importantly, he started his short military career with the rank of sergeant, but was able to climb the military ladder with great strides, reaching the rank of lieutenant general in 1999 due to his innovation.  The Soviet's Decisive Rifle Field Victories in the Cold War Mikhail Kalashnikov did not enjoy that privilege, which he had only for one reason, which is that at the height of the Cold War, the battles were always decided in favor of the Russian rifle. In 1956, it witnessed its widest spread, and the AK-47 was the main reason for turning the war in favor of the Vietnamese. In the Vietnam War, in which the Americans suffered a crushing defeat in the last century, and that was a great honor for Michael.  The Kalashnikov assault rifle also faced the American M16 assault rifle in other battlefields, such as Afghanistan, where the Russian rifle prevailed, until the United States decided to arm the anti-Soviet faction in Afghanistan with Kalashnikovs.  Kalashnikov the weapon of the Afghan mujahideen, carried by Dr. Abdullah Azzam, one of the leaders of the jihad in Afghanistan During the Cold War, battles took place in fields outside the Soviet and American borders, and its two protagonists were the Soviet "AK-47" and the American "M16", the two rifles mapped the map of the allies of the Warsaw Pact and NATO blocs, and the two rifles were more than just a weapon, but rather an ideological equation The emblems of two enemies, the Kalashnikov rifle sided with the resistance movements, while the M16 was the weapon of choice for the dictatorships backed by the USA The Soviet Union and the USA distributed the two competing weapons in the north and south of the globe, demarcating the borders of their allies.  "I am now a colonel, thanks to the Americans." Mikhail Kalashnikov won some honor during the early years of inventing his weapon, but he was deprived of ownership of his creation, even though the weapon bore his name, and he could have remained in the rank of sergeant had it not been for an article written by an American newspaper about his life in 1989, Kalashnikov says: One day: They wrote that a simple sergeant had armed all sides of the Warsaw Pact, so the officials responded, and I suddenly found myself promoted to the rank of colonel. I am now a colonel thanks to the Americans.  Kalashnikov did not make a fortune making the AK-47, he was just an engineer in the factory that made millions of parts from that rifle, and he was paid less than $ 500, and he lived in a small apartment.  Mikhail Kalashnikov did not make a fortune making the AK-47, he was just an engineer in the factory that made millions of parts from that rifle. "Kalashnikov" says that he did not receive a single ruble for the manufacture of these rifles, unlike his American competitor, "Eugene Stoner", the creator of the M16 assault rifle, although he did not perpetuate his name like "Kalashnikov", he made a huge fortune in the manufacture of his rifle and owned an aircraft This may be the reason why he did not mention about him that he spoke of his remorse because of the bullets fired from the barrel of M16 rifles in bloody wars such as the civil war in Lebanon, unlike Mikhail Kalashnikov, who always invoked the extent of the destruction caused. His gun in many countries.  "My pain is unbearable" Supporter of the revolutionaries and ally of the butchers Mikhail Kalashnikov received a medal from the Russian Church in the name of "Saint Andrei Pervozvanir", and that medal could have been an instrument that would relieve him of the pain of his remorse, although he strongly defended himself in one of the press conferences, and his decision to design assault rifles in order to defend Motherland.  But on April 7, 2010 - that is, three years before his death - he wrote a letter to the Orthodox Church published by the Russian newspaper "Izvestia", in which he said: My pain is unbearable, so will I, "Mikhail Kalashnikov", the son of the Orthodox Christian peasant, be responsible for the loss of Spirits, if my gun killed her?  Children from the Congo carrying Kalashnikovs, and this is the exact contradiction of the creator of this weapon, who is a champion of the revolutionaries and an ally of thugs   He is "a hero and a victim, and behind the weapon that everyone knows there is a man who has lived through many tragedies." This is how the Russian journalist Elena Jolie described it in her book entitled "The Third Death of Stalin" issued in 1989, but "Mikhail", who bore his name on the shoulders of militias from the four corners of the earth, was haunted by the numbers of dead in the war exchange, and he carried the weight of that gun that does not Its weight exceeds 5 kilograms, but it kills a quarter of a million people every year. For nearly 66 years, "Kalashnikov" has watched blood flow because of his invention.  It is strange that this rifle inherited the contradiction experienced by its creator, as it was the champion of revolutions and resistance movements, and rose from above the shoulders of the revolutionaries and decorated some banners and flags in countries such as Mozambique, but the Kalashnikov nozzle also invaded other fields and was used in civil wars, such as the Lebanese civil war, And the Cambodian civil war, the war in Laos, and the Srebrenica massacre, which Somali pirates carried with confidence when raiding ships, and it was more than Yemeni children during the Yemeni civil war, as it was the weapon of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, whose Kalashnikov rifle in the United States of America still maintains The CIA Museum after the Abbottabad operation.  The shoulders of the revolutionaries and the chests of the terrorists the prostitute who embraces everyone The Kalashnikov assault rifle invaded the bloody battlefields, just as tons of translated Russian literature books invaded homes in the East and the Maghreb. The Kalashnikov assault rifle was a supporter of the people of truth sometimes, but it turned at other times to support falsehood, as this was not its choice nor the choice of its creator, as it is said that the gun has no heart.  In a polemical path drawn by writer and journalist Michael Hughes in his book "The Kalashnikov", the journey of the AK-47 appears since an idea emerged in Mikhail Kalashnikov's head, to turn into the queen of the fields of regular and guerrilla wars. Kalashnikovs are in the hands of the army of a state, as it can be in the hands of its opponents, or in the possession of militias, or in the hands of armed men or African child soldiers.
