Russia Mikhail Kalashnikov, inventor of the rifle
Mikhail Kalashnikov, 87, stands behind his AK-47 Nr.1, a prototype of the famous AK-47 rifle, during a ceremony to mark the 60th anniversary of the worldwide assault rifle's creation in the Russia's Armed Forces Central Museum in Moscow, Russia, on Friday, July 6, 2007. The red flag in the background is the banner flown from the top of the Reichstag in Berlin after the building was seized by Soviet troops a week before the Nazi surrender in May 1945. The photo depicts Victory Parade in Moscow in June 1945.
