Mikhail Kalashnikov, who invented the world’s most copious rifle bearing his name, passed away on Dec. 23 after a prolonged illness. He was 94.
Kalashnikov had been in intensive care in the clinical diagnostic center of Izhevsk, where he was hospitalized due to gastric bleeding, since Nov. 17. During the past 5 weeks, word from Izhevsk was that he was feeling better, but on Monday, doctors announced that his heart had stopped.
Kalashnikov was glorified in the former Soviet Union for creating an assault rifle that experts call the best in the history of small arms, the AK-47.
