the cult of war and the defense of peace — DW — 11/10/2004

About half a million people die every year in the world from small-caliber weapons Photo: DPA

11/10/2004 November 10, 2004 «, but its use was not limited to the symbolic. AK-47, and later AK-74, where «A» stands for «automatic», and «K» is the first letter of the name of its creator — Mikhail Timofeevich Kalashnikov.

The eighteenth child of a peasant from the Altai village, since 1938 Kalashnikov served in the Soviet army. And from the first day of the war he dreamed of creating a weapon that would allow Soviet soldiers to successfully resist Hitler’s aggression. He succeeded, however, only in 1945, at the very end of the war. As Western newspapers wrote in the 1970s, «a sergeant from Izhevsk armed the entire Warsaw bloc.» And not only him. The Kalashnikov assault rifle was used by fighters of numerous liberation movements and partisan detachments around the world, militants and terrorists.

Until now, in many countries, this machine gun is a favorite type of small arms. According to the International Conversion Center in Bonn, about half a million people die every year from small-caliber AK-type weapons in the world, most of them women and children.

The Kalashnikov assault rifle was created to protect the world

Its inventor, who celebrated his 85th birthday on November 9, 2004, could not predict such a development of events. Today Mikhail Kalashnikov is twice Hero of Socialist Labor, laureate of the Stalin, Lenin and State Prizes. He was awarded the Orders of the Holy Apostle Andrew the First-Called and «For Merit to the Fatherland» of the second degree. Doctor of Technical Sciences, Honored Worker of Science and Technology. His invention, copied at least 80 million times since the beginning of the 50s, he considers, first of all, as an achievement of technology and is proud that it has been competitive for 55 years now.

With his invention, Kalashnikov, however, created a controversial reputation for himself, because his name has become synonymous with the word «war» for many. The machine gun he created was used both for defense and for killing. He was adopted by terrorists, and while bin Laden is giving interviews, an AK is often lying next to him. The designer himself has repeatedly stated that it is hard for him to see for what purposes the machine gun he created is used, because when Kalashnikov developed this weapon, his goal was to protect his country.

Kalashnikov should not be cursed

According to Sami Faltas, an employee of the International Conversion Center, Kalashnikov should not be cursed or glorified. He does not need to be made responsible for the use of the weapons he has created. The main problem of the Kalashnikov assault rifle is that the technology of its production was transferred to many countries, which in turn were engaged in the mass production and export of AKs. Ultimately, the Kalashnikov became widespread throughout the world. Today, the underground trade in these machines has especially serious consequences. Legal firearms are usually well controlled enough to make it much more difficult to commit a crime with them. A completely different picture with illegal weapons.

How to effectively counter the proliferation of small-caliber weapons in conflict regions in Africa, Afghanistan, the Caucasus, Iraq? How to prevent the repetition of massacres in schools, when children die at the hands of their peers? According to Faltas, for this it is necessary to combine strict state control with active work among the civilian population. That is, not only the state should fight against the illegal distribution of weapons, but also the media, public associations, citizens of the country, and the youth themselves should make every effort to make it clear: «You have to be crazy to run around with a gun in your belt. Weapons are not cool.»
