    Oleg Nekhai Jun 10, 2012 15:20 Moscow Time

    Russia’s famous weapons manufacturer, Izhmash, is celebrating its 205th anniversary. Founded by Emperor Alexander I in 1807, it produced all types of 19th and 20th -century firearms. During the Second World War, Izhmash churned out about 11 million assault rifles and carbines, more than all German plants put together. In the postwar years, it began assembling its legendary AK-47 Kalashnikov gun. Today, it is used in more than 100 countries, and is even depicted on the national flag of Mozambique.
