⚔️ Kalashnikov — the weapon of the proletariat 🛠 On November 10, 1919, Mikhail Kalashnikov was born in the village of Kurya in the Altai region — the designer of the most famous model of Soviet and Russian firearms, the AK assault rifle. Kalashnikov's name, both as a proper name and as a common noun, is yet another proof of the creative power of socialism. ⭐️ Mikhail Kalashnikov was born in a remote village in Soviet Russia, exhausted by the civil war, into the family of a kulak who later lost his wealth — such was the party's policy to eliminate class inequality in the countryside. However, Kalashnikov did not become embittered: he went from a simple railway worker and soldier to a lieutenant general and the designer of the world's best firearm. All because under socialism all roads are open to creativity and invention, and social elevators lift up not the children of the rich, but simple workers and peasants. 🇲🇿🇹🇱🇿🇼 But Kalashnikov is also a symbol of the national liberation struggle of the countries of the world majority. Thanks to its incredible reliability, ease of maintenance and combat qualities, this weapon became the most widespread assault rifle in the world and was used throughout Africa, Latin America and Asia; it is still in service with the states of the former USSR. Kalashnikov inspired some peoples so much that it made it onto the coat of arms of Zimbabwe, the coat of arms and flag of Mozambique, the coat of arms of Timor-Leste and the old coat of arms of Burkina Faso. As Mikhail Kalashnikov himself said: «I created weapons to defend my country». But it turned out that his weapons were able to defend the whole world. #SOVINTERN_DATE #Moscow_Hub ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
