    • Trivia
      Mikhail Kalashnikov in his final days wrote to the head of Russia's Orthodox church shortly before his death, stating he was afflicted with spiritual torment. Kalashnikov, who died 23 December, 2014 aged 94, told Patriarch Kirill he felt responsible for the millions of deaths caused by his revolutionary assault rifle. He wrote... "My spiritual pain is unbearable. I keep asking the same insoluble question. If my rifle deprived people of life then can it be that I as a Christian and an orthodox believer, was to blame for their deaths?"
    • Goofs
      Michail Kalashnikov could not meet his brother Victor as a prisoner on the train as he was freed long before the war.

    Entertaining and worth a watch
    I just saw the English dubbed version of this film and the voice actors did a pretty good job. Don't know how accurate this was compared to the real history, but it sure was entertaining and kept my interest right to the very end. Propaganda, so what? You'd be hard pressed to find any fictional movie, docudrama, documentary, or fact based movie of similar genre that doesn't have propaganda. Hell, the Americans are experts on it and I wish us Canadians were better at it.
