I'm going to start by addressing some of the comments from reviewers who claim Hugo Schmeiser, a German weapons expert, designed the AK47. A few facts. Schmeiser was not overly co-operative with the Soviets. Moreover, they did not appear to think a great deal of his work. He received a pay cut and was effectively demoted to lesser roles. Functionally, the weapons he designed and the AK-47 designed by Kalashnikov are vastly different, too.
Comments also seem to suggest Kalashnikov had no talent. If so how did he rise through the ranks from obscurity with little education, in an empire as vast as the Soviet Union? Why are not one but many of his weapons designs so famous? If he had no inherent talent how is it his son Victor also designed well known military weapons, most notably the PP-19 Bizon, also still in use today? Hardly likely, if there was no talent to be inherited. Surely?
So lets move on to the film. Its a fascinating insight into the world of weapons design through the life of Soviet weapons designer Mikhail Kalashnikov. Its well acted, directed and has a certain passion I had not expected to find in a film about arms manufacture.
Its clear the reasons Kalashnikov strove to develop weapons were driven by a need to protect his country, not profit from death. A point much emphasised in this film. Indeed, Kalashnikov himself wrote of his "spiritual pain" in latter life when he saw how his famous creation, the AK-47, was used around the world.
What's particularly remarkable about Kalashnikov is the fact this inventor, in his early years, started off with a very basic education. He rose to prominence through hard work and the merit of his designs. A fact that is made clear in the film as he competed, with often better educated, weapons designers.
In terms of the story, some creative license has been taken. Especially in terms of his private life. He married in 1921 but this film suggests he was married a lot later.
Putting this aside, this film is well crafted, engrossing and utterly fascinating. This coming from a reviewer who is, by nature, a pacifist and opposed to war.
8/10 from me.

While the dubbing is an unfortunate aspect for none English speaking films I do prefer the move to be dubbed. An interesting story about the most famous gun in world ... the acting is just above average (6/10) the the script cinematography and plot is above average.
In "Kalashnikov (2020)," the intriguing tale of the iconic assault rifle AK-47 and its journey through the Soviet Union unfolds. The film delves into the intricate backstory and technological advancement of this renowned firearm.
However, the portrayal of the AK-47's character feels somewhat one-dimensional, lacking depth. The film occasionally exhibits overt displays of Soviet pride, veering into propagandistic territory and diminishing its overall credibility.
Nevertheless, the scenes depicting the AK-47's testing are undeniably impressive, showcasing the weapon's formidable power and enduring impact.
"Kalashnikov (2020)" offers a captivating perspective on the genesis of a weapon that has left an indelible mark on history, despite some shortcomings in character development and narrative authenticity.

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.
It is been more than seven decades but Avtomat Kalashnikov has stayed as the most popular and widely used in its category. With 200 million assault rifles produced in the 20th century AK 47 became the most recognized weapon. It is an Assault rifle meaning it has Intermediate cartridge and detachable magazine and can be adjusted for semi automatic fully automatic and burst mode.. Every year on an average quarter of a million people die because of the wounds inflicted by AK-47...
This is an Interesting insight on how the most infamous weapon came into existence ..it is a story of the perseverance and the passion of a young Soviet man during WWII - Alexander Kalashinkov and his invention AK-47 (the 1947 version). Good cinematography, convincing performances and engrossing story .. however, it fails to capture the war times ..also, the chemistry between the lead characters seems insipid..

- CuriosidadesMikhail 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?"
- PifiasMichail Kalashnikov could not meet his brother Victor as a prisoner on the train as he was freed long before the war.
