“Yes, the number of temples and monasteries on our land is increasing, but evil still does not decrease! .. Good and evil live, coexist, fight and, worst of all, reconcile with each other in the souls of people - this is what I came to at sunset his earthly life. It turns out some perpetual motion machine, which I so wanted to invent in my younger years. Light and shadow, good and evil - two opposites of one whole, unable to exist without each other? And did the Almighty arrange everything like that? And humanity to vegetate forever in this ratio?

Born in the village of Kurya, Altai Territory. He was the seventeenth child in a large peasant family, in which eighteen were born, and eight children survived. In 1930, the family of his father, Timofey Aleksandrovich Kalashnikov, who was recognized as a fist, was exiled from the Altai Territory to the Tomsk Region, the village of Nizhnyaya Mokhovaya (now Bakcharsky District, near the village of Parbig). From childhood, he was interested in technology, exploring with interest the structure and principles of operation of various mechanisms. At school he was fond of physics, geometry and literature. At the end of the seventh grade, with the permission of his parents, he returned to Altai, to Kurya, but could not get a job. After studying there for another year, he decided to return to his mother and stepfather, where, having corrected the date of birth in the documents, he received a passport. A few months later, after returning to Kurya again, he first got acquainted with the device of the weapon, dismantling the Browning pistol with his own hands. At the age of 18, he left his native village and moved to Kazakhstan, where he began working as an accountant at the depot of the Matai station of Turkestan-Siberian railway. Communication with machinists, turners, mechanics of the depot strengthened Mikhail's interest in technology, and gave rise to a desire to do something himself. In the autumn of 1938 he was drafted into the Red Army in the Kyiv Special Military District. After the course of junior commanders, he received the specialty of a tank driver and served in the 12th tank division in the city of Stryi (Western Ukraine). Already there, he showed his inventive abilities - he developed an inertial counter of shots from a tank gun, an adaptation for a TT pistol to increase the efficiency of firing through slots in a tank turret, and a tank motor resource counter. The device for accounting for the motor resources of a tank was the first invention of the young tanker Kalashnikov, recommended for mass production back in 1940, but they did not have time to organize it. The last invention was quite significant, as evidenced by the fact that Kalashnikov was called to report on him to the commander of the Kyiv Special Military District, General of the Army Georgy Zhukov. After a conversation with the commander, he is sent to the Kiev Tank Technical School for the manufacture of prototypes, and after completion of the tests, to Moscow for comparative tests and then to the Leningrad Voroshilov Plant, for refinement and launch in a series.
