The SKS 7.62 x 39 : The Soviet M1 Carbine, and Predecessor to the AK-47. Mike Francis, writer and publisher. Kindle Edition; 39 pages. Published November 14, 2015 A few weeks ago, an amazing thing happened: a firearms dealer I had done business with in the past advertised SKS rifles for sale. The Soviets soon developed the 7.62\u00d739mm M43 cartridge, the semi-automatic SKS carbine and the RPD light machine gun. Shortly after World War II, the Soviets developed the AK-47 assault rifle, which would quickly replace the SKS in Soviet service. The SKS is a fantastic weapons platform, and it chambers the same round the AK-47 shoots. This weapon was the Russian answer to the M1 Carbine. It had only just arrived on the scene, when the AK-47 came along right behind it. The SKS went on to be a big hit with the Soviet Bloc countries, and with the Peoples Republic of China. The AK-47, officially known as the Avtomat Kalashnikova (Russian: \u0410\u0432\u0442\u043e\u043c\u0430\u0301\u0442 \u041a\u0430\u043b\u0430\u0301\u0448\u043d\u0438\u043a\u043e\u0432\u0430, lit.

The Soviets assumed this would be a short uneventful battle; however, the Mujahadeen had other plans. The Mujahadeen are guardians of the Afghani way of live and territory. The Soviets went into Afghanistan with the latest weapons to include the AK-74, AKS-74, and AKSU-74, which replaced the venerable AK-47 in the Soviet Arsenals. The Mujahadeen were armed with Soviet-made AK-47s. This twist of fate would prove to be fatal to the Soviets. For nearly 11 years, the Mujahadeen repelled the Soviet attacks with Soviet-made weapons. The Mujahadeen also captured many newer Soviet small arms, which augmented their supplies of weaponry. In 1989, the Soviet Union withdrew from Afghanistan back to the other side of the mountain. The Mujahadeen thwarted a communist take- over with their strong will to resist and the AK-47. This is important to you because it illustrates what an effective weapon the AK-47 is, and in the hands of a well-trained rifleman, what can be accomplished. Importance This is important to you as a Marine because there is not a battlefield or conflict that you will be deployed to, where you will not find a Kalashnikov AK-47 or variant. In This Lesson This lesson will cover history, evolution, description, and characteristics of foreign weapons.

Cayce Plaintiff - Appellee Clerk v. ARTURO GONZALEZ, also known as Jay, Defendant - Appellant Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas Before JONES, SMITH, and COSTA, Circuit Judges. GREGG COSTA, Circuit Judge: Perhaps no firearm has attained the level of notoriety enjoyed by the AK- 47. Developed in the Soviet Union by Mikhail Kalashnikov (thus the “AK” name, which stands for “Автомат Калашникова” or “Automatic Kalashnikov”), it was first used in the late 1940s by the Red Army and soon thereafter by the armies of Soviet satellites. In the six decades since, its low cost, ease of use, and reliability have made the gun a staple in conflicts across the globe. Mexico has proven no exception, as the AK-47 has become popular among the drug cartels that operate on both sides of the border. Its Mexican nickname—“cuerno de chivo,” or “goat’s horn”—comes from the gun’s unique Case: 14-40344 Document: 00513090792 Page: 2 Date Filed: 06/24/2015 No. 14-40344 appearance when attached to its curved magazine. See generally C.J. CHIVERS, THE GUN (2010) (chronicling the history of the AK-47). That magazine rests at the center of the dispute in this case. We must decide whether a magazine is a “component” of the AK-47 for purposes of laws prohibiting the unlicensed export of firearms and certain related items.

  • African Warrior Culture
    African Warrior Culture: The Symbolism and Integration of the Avtomat Kalashnikova throughout Continental Africa By Kevin Andrew Laurell Senior Thesis in History California State Polytechnic University, Pomona June 10, 2014 Grade: Advisor: Dr. Amanda Podany Laurell 1 "I'm proud of my invention, but I'm sad that it is used by terrorists… I would prefer to have invented a machine that people could use and that would help farmers with their work - for example a lawnmower."- Mikhail Kalashnikov The Automatic Kalashnikov is undoubtedly the most recognizable and iconic of all weapon systems over the past sixty-seven years. Commonly referred to as the AK or AK-47, the rifle is a symbol of both oppression and revolution in war-torn parts of the world today. Most major conflicts over the past forty years throughout Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and South America have been fought with Kalashnikov rifles. The global saturation of Kalashnikov weaponry finds its roots in the Cold War mentalities of both the Soviet Union and Western powers vying for ideological footholds and powerful spheres of influence. Oftentimes the fiercest Cold War conflicts took place in continental Africa, with both Moscow and Washington interfering with local politics and providing assistance to one group or another. While Communist-Socialist and Western Capitalist ideologies proved unsuccessful in many regions in Africa, the AK-47 remained the surviving victor. From what we know of the Cold War, millions of Automatic Kalashnikovs (as well as the patents to the weapons) were sent to countries that were willing to discourage the threat of Western influence.

Standing on a pedestal surrounded by a crude plaster diorama of a workshop is a medley of parts fashioned into a strange upright apparatus. There is a small collection of wooden poles and netting at the back, connected to a base of long spindled metal that seems it would collapse with even the most rudimentary use. This, in turn is welded to a cylindrical front piece that appears to have rake tines jutting forth from it. The entire contraption is connected to a set of wheels that look borrowed from a child’s bicycle.

Founded in Izhevsk (1,300 kilometres east of Moscow) in 1807, the Izhmash factory has seen a series of upheavals since 2013, when Russia's state corporation RosTec, the controlling holding, merged it with a nearby pistol maker Izhmekh, naming the new company Kalashnikov Concern. Prior to the merger, the factory looked like it would meet a typical fate of many other Soviet-era industrial titans: in 2012 Mikhail Kalashnikov and other veteran employees lamented falling production figures, bad management and low The prototype electric car, called the CV-1, produced by salaries.

  • Peasant Identities in Russia's Turmoil
    PEASANT IDENTITIES IN RUSSIA’S TURMOIL: STATUS, GENDER, AND ETHNICITY IN VIATKA PROVINCE, 1914-1921 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Aaron Benyamin Retish, M.A. The Ohio State University, 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor David Hoffmann, Adviser Professor Eve Levin _________________ Professor Nicholas Breyfogle Adviser Department of History Copyright by Aaron Benyamin Retish 2003 ABSTRACT From 1914-21, the Russian countryside underwent an enormous social and political transformation. World War I and civil war led to conscription into the tsarist, Bolshevik, and anti-Bolshevik armies, removing over fourteen million young male peasants from their villages. Revolution destroyed the centuries-old peasant-landlord relationship, redistributed land among the peasantry, democratized the countryside, and allowed villages to install autonomous governing bodies. War and social turmoil also brought massive famine and government requisitioning of grain and possessions, killing thousands of peasants and destroying their means of existence. The Bolshevik victory, a defining event of the twentieth century, was ultimately determined by the temporary support of the peasantry, the vast majority of Russia's population. This project studies the interaction between peasants and government in the Russian province of Viatka from the beginning of World War I to the end of the Civil War in 1921.
