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.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
