M.T. Kalashnikov hasn't made a dime on his design. Why, the patent was owned by the Soviet government.

The Soviet Government is now as dead as '80s coke benders and porno chic.

With that, the holder of the patent thus gone, the design is public property, methinks. Call me crazy.

Also, TL, the Mujahadeen fighters we armed to fight the Soviets were displaced, and the Taliban took power after they did the dirty work. Poor bastards. They were devout Muslims, but very Western leaning.

The Russians should get busy complaining about us stealing things they actually own, when they want to construct their logical fallacies in defense of our attack on them.
