Well, from the interview he gave last Sunday on NTV, I doubt allowing his name to brand better has delivered him one kopeck. But the report did show how American soliders in Iraq adore his firearms -- better made for the fighting in there!

I was reading an interview with Andrei Kalashnikov himself recently. He's in his 80s. He says he's glad he could serve the Fatherland, but that he wishes he could be remembered for having invented something "that peasants could use, like maybe a mower."

BTW the Kalashnkov brand is going on all kinds of stuff (butter, etc.) which should get him a lot of money. He never got anything on the gun.
