Man keeps inventing things all the time.

Before attempting to create something new, it is vital to have a good appreciation of everything that already exists in this field.

I've always wanted to improve and expand on the good name of my weapon by doing good things.

The fact that people die because of an AK-47 is not because of the designer, but because of politics.

I had to gain experience as I did not have a technical education.

When a young man, I read somewhere the following: God the Almighty said, 'All that is too complex is unnecessary, and it is simple that is needed.' So this has been my lifetime motto – I have been creating weapons to defend the borders of my fatherland, to be simple and reliable.

My spiritual pain is unbearable. I keep having the same unsolved question: if my rifle claimed people's lives, then can it be that I a Christian and an Orthodox believer, was to blame for their deaths?
