It Is Painful For Me To See

The Ak-47 Is Not A Device Of Aggression ... I Devised This Machine-gun For The Security Of My Country.

Life Is Composed Of Different Inventions.

I've Always Wanted To Improve And Expand On The Good Name Of My Weapon By Doing Good Things.

I Have Continued To Work At Different Things, And Rebuilt My Home All By Myself. I Did It For The Sake Of Satisfaction At Doing Something. I Did It Because I Happened To Be Where I Was.

My Aim Was To Create Armaments To Protect The Borders Of My Motherland. It Is Not My Fault That The Kalashnikov Became Very Well-known In The World; That It Was Used In Many Troubled Places. I Think The Policies Of These Countries Are To Blame, Not The Designers. Man Is Born To Protect His Family, His Children, His Wife. But I Want You To Know That Apart From Armaments, I Have Written Three Books In Which I Try To Educate Our Youth To Show Respect For Their Families, For Old People, For History.
