Kalashnikov, Mikhail Timofeevich. Class hour: “Mikhail Kalashnikov is a symbol of Russian technical thought. The museum has the apartment of Mikhail Timofeevich

Born on November 10, 1919 in the village of Kurya Altai Territory, in a large peasant family. Father - Kalashnikov Timofey Alexandrovich (1883–1930). Mother - Kalashnikova Alexandra Frolovna (1884–1957). Wife, Ekaterina Viktorovna Kalashnikova (1921–1977) - design technician, performed drawing work for Mikhail Timofeevich. Daughters: Nellie Mikhailovna (born 1942), Elena Mikhailovna (born 1948), Natalya Mikhailovna (1953–1983). Son - Viktor Mikhailovich (born 1942).

Until 1936, Mikhail Kalashnikov studied at school. At the end of the 9th grade, he went to work as a technical secretary of the political department of the 3rd branch of the Turkestan-Siberian railway.

In 1938, Mikhail's army life began. His emergency service took place in the Kiev Special Military District. First, he took a course as a tank driver, then he was sent to a tank regiment stationed in the city of Stryi.

And here the creative nature of Mikhail Kalashnikov already manifested itself. In particular, he created a recorder of the number of shots fired from a tank gun. It was then that I first met G.K. Zhukov. The commander of the troops of the Kyiv Special Military District presented the young inventor with a personalized watch.

A large opening opened up before Kalashnikov. creative path. But soon the Great Patriotic War began. And of course, he, a young tanker, could not help but end up at the front. However, in October 1941, his tank was hit by a fascist shell. Mikhail Kalashnikov was seriously wounded and seriously concussed.

But lying in a hospital bed for a long time, doing nothing, was not in his character. Kalashnikov was tormented by one thought: how to help the front? This thought brought him to the library and forced him to sit down at the drawing table. And as soon as he was granted recovery leave, he immediately went to Matai station, where he worked for some time before the war. There, with the help of friends, he made his first submachine gun.

Kalashnikov felt that something needed to be adjusted in his weapon, to achieve a higher accuracy of fire. However, when he presented his sample to the outstanding weapons scientist A. A. Blagonravov, he heard praise from him. A new stage has begun in the life of Mikhail Timofeevich Kalashnikov, an as yet unrecognized designer.

Its first samples were never put into service. But they enriched him with considerable experience. And this experience, when the victorious 1945 year was already underway, inspired confidence in success. Kalashnikov began work on the creation of automatic weapons chambered for the 1943 model. He had no idea that he would be able to solve the problem relatively quickly: new machine passed the first tests.

In 1948 he was sent to Izhevsk. Then the young designer did not even think that he would “settle” in this city, which was still little known to him, that it would become dear to him. It is from here that, after a short time, the first batches of machine guns will go to the troops.

But he was attracted by another idea: how to create a self-loading carbine. He worked with unprecedented passion. I changed a lot along the way. In the end, the Kalashnikov self-loading carbine turned out to be both lighter in weight and more reliable in operation. In some ways it was even superior to the Simonov version of the same carbine.

During this period, the military tests machine created by Mikhail Timofeevich. And then the decision was made to take it into service Soviet army. In the history of the world small arms began new era- the era of automatic weapons. He, Mikhail Timofeevich Kalashnikov, was the first to open this era. AK-47 gave him a ticket to weapons world and brought glory such as no designer on the planet has ever known. With the advent of such a powerful machine gun, the need for a self-loading carbine itself disappeared.

On September 1, 1949, Mikhail Timofeevich Kalashnikov joined the staff of the department of the chief designer of Izhmash. He still works there today. First of all, he is engaged in the further development of the AK-47. To this brainchild of Kalashnikov are added a 7.62 mm modernized machine gun AKM and a modernized assault rifle with a folding stock - AKMS.

After switching to 5.45 mm caliber, big family Kalashnikov assault rifles - shortened AKS-74U, AK-74 and AK-74M.

Mikhail Timofeevich is also known as a designer of machine guns. Among its designs are 7.62 mm Kalashnikov RPK and RPKS light machine guns - with a folding stock; 5.45-mm Kalashnikov light machine guns RPK-74 and RPKS-74 - with a folding stock. In total, the Kalashnikov design bureau created more than a hundred samples military weapons.

Kalashnikov also has another hobby - creating hunting weapons. His Saiga self-loading hunting carbines, designed on the basis of an assault rifle, have gained enormous popularity among hunting enthusiasts in our country and abroad. Among them are the smooth-bore model “Saiga”, the self-loading carbine “Saiga-410”, “Saiga-20S”. More than a dozen modifications of carbines are still produced today.

M. T. Kalashnikov is a world-famous designer. The famous Israeli designer Uzi Gal stated very accurately when he once told Mikhail Timofeevich: “You are the most unrivaled and authoritative designer among us.”

The popularity of M. T. Kalashnikov is limitless. Once, the American philosopher and weapons specialist Edward Clinton Ezel sent a letter with the following address: “USSR. Mikhail Timofeevich Kalashnikov." Just like “to grandpa’s village.” And this message, of course, came through carefully, although there are thousands of Kalashnikovs in our country.

As for the main brainchild of the designer - the Kalashnikov assault rifle - it is recognized as the invention of the century. This assessment was given by the French newspaper Libération, which compiled a list of outstanding inventions of the 20th century - from aspirin to atomic bomb. According to foreign experts, by the beginning of 1996, from 70 to 100 million machine guns had been manufactured in the world. It is used in 55 countries around the world. It is depicted on the banners and coats of arms of some countries.

For the creation of the AK-47 assault rifle, Mikhail Timofeevich Kalashnikov was awarded the Stalin (State) Prize of the first degree. Later, the AKM assault rifle and the RGS light machine gun were adopted. For this work, the designer was awarded the title of Hero Socialist Labor. In 1964 he was awarded the Lenin Prize. After 34 years, M. T. Kalashnikov again became a laureate of the State Prize.

In 1976, Mikhail Timofeevich was awarded the second Gold Medal “Hammer and Sickle”. Among his awards are three Orders of Lenin, “For Services to the Fatherland” II degree, Order of the October Revolution, Red Banner of Labor, Friendship of Peoples, Patriotic War I degree, Red Star, and many medals. M. T. Kalashnikov is a holder of the Order of St. Apostle Andrew the First-Called.

Mikhail Timofeevich Kalashnikov - Doctor of Technical Sciences, Honored Worker of Industry of the USSR, Honored Worker of Science and Technology of the Republic of Udmurtia. He - honorary member(academician) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Missile and Artillery Sciences, the Russian Academy of Engineering, full member of the Petrovsky Academy of Arts and Arts, International Academy sciences, industry, education and art of the USA, the International Academy of Informatization, the Union of Designers of Russia, and a number of other major scientific institutions; Honorable Sir Udmurt Republic, the city of Izhevsk, the village of Kurya, Altai Territory.

Mikhail Timofeevich is passionate about classical music. He is a regular participant traditional days music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Loves poetry. Even at school I was interested in writing poetry. His pre-war poems were published in the newspaper of the Kyiv Special Military District "Red Army".

Historical background Born into a large peasant family in 1919. In 1930, the family of his father Timofey Aleksandrovich Kalashnikov, recognized as a kulak, was exiled from the Altai Territory to Siberia.

Great Patriotic War began in August 1941 as a tank commander; in October 1941, near Bryansk, he was seriously wounded.

Beginning of a gunsmith's career Since 1942, Kalashnikov has been working at the Central Scientific Research Site of Small Arms (NIPSMVO) of the Main Artillery Directorate Red Army. Here in 1944 he created a prototype of a multi-shot carbine, which, although it did not go into production, partially served as a prototype for the creation of an assault rifle. Since 1945, M. T. Kalashnikov began developing automatic weapons chambered for the 7.62×39 intermediate cartridge of the 1943 model. In the 1947 competition, the Kalashnikov assault rifle, after testing, showed the highest efficiency.

M. T. Kalashnikov In Izhevsk After this, Mikhail Timofeevich was sent to the Izhevsk Motor Plant on the instructions of the Chief Marshal of Artillery N. N. Voronov for the author’s participation in the creation of technical documentation and the organization of the production of the first pilot batch of his AK-47 assault rifle. After being demobilized from the army, Kalashnikov moved to permanent place residence in Izhevsk and continued design work at the Izhmash plant.

His creations In the x years, unified models were developed and adopted on the basis of the AK small arms: AKM Kalashnikov assault rifle modernized, AKM RPK light machine gun Kalashnikov, RPK PK Kalashnikov machine gun, PK PKT Kalashnikov tank machine gun (installed together with the gun), PKT tank AK-74 modification of AKM chambered for 5.45×39.
