FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A Russian government official says Mikhail Kalashnikov, the designer of AK-47, whose gun became the weapon of many armies and rebels across the world, has died at the age of 94.
The man who created the Kalashnikov automatic rifle some 66 years ago died in his home city of Izhevsk near the Ural Mountains on Monday.
“We received sad news today: legendary small-arms inventor Mikhail Kalashnikov died … after a prolonged illness,” Viktor Chulkov, a spokesman for the head of the Udmurtia republic, Kalashnikov’s home region, wrote on his personal page on Facebook.
Russia’s Health Ministry recently announced that Kalashnikov had been admitted to an intensive care unit at a hospital in Izhevsk, Udmurtia’s regional capital, while “in serious but stable condition.”
Kalashnikov has written unforgettable memories about his invention and his life.
“I was told that when [former Soviet leader Josef] Stalin was shown the AK-47 for the first time, he took it in his hand and didn’t put it down while walking around his Kremlin office for the rest of the day,” he wrote in his memoirs.
However, he was unhappy of his invention’s misuse, in addition to being proud of it.
“It is painful for me to see when criminal elements of all kinds fire from my weapon,” he said in 2008.
Kalashnikov was a young officer in the Soviet Red Army recovering in a hospital from injuries sustained in World War II when he designed what would later become the AK-47 in a child’s notebook in 1942.
AK stands for ‘Avtomat Kalashnikova’ or ‘Kalashnikov’s automatic weapon’ and 47 for the year 1947 when the first experimental versions of the rifle went into production.
Since then, the weapon and its later modifications have become the world’s most popular assault rifle.
