I feel sorry he's only receiving a small goverment pension,you would think he would have got some decent compensation for his work.I think we should maybe take up a collection,maybe we could get him to make a new handgun!:eek:

You are right is NOT Michail. It as not AK-74. It is an air rifle Yunker-1.

Awesome pics Vladimier, truly appreciate you sharing these with us. Mikhail is a great man, we should get a webpage with all his pictures, the medals he's won, and other facts about him.

the picture of him with full medals and decorations.....is there any way to identify them? :)

Makarov, thank you very much for putting a human dimension to something I have gotten used to seeing as just a piece of metal.
