Non so, ma mi chiedo cosa abbia bevuto "Mr" Izhmash.
Il Kalashinikov e' stato inventato nel 1949 (insomma niente brevetti
anche se la Russia li avesse concessi al tempo, tanto sarebbero gia'
scaduti da quasi 40 anni) e non credo che nessuno in Russia abbia mai
sentito parlare di marchi registrati prima della caduta del muro...
