Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader loves stories about people who suffered under communism and arenow flourishing in a market economy. Well, Mikhail Kalashnikov probably never suffered much under communism. Indeed, his revolutionary assault weapon, the AK-47, probably caused lots of suffering at the hands of communists, revolutionaries, and others. But then again, it is, in your Maximum Leader’s opinion, the finest assault weapon ever made.

Anyhoo… While he didn’t profit in a capitalist sense from his great gun design, he can profit by licencing his name now. Your Maximum Leader has already seen Kalashnikov brand knives and outdoors equipment. Now we can add
vodka.

Your Maximum Leader isn’t a big vodka drinker, but he would like to do a taste test between Kalashnikov Vodka, and Red Army Vodka. With the loosing brand dragged out and shot. (With an AK-47.)

Carry on.
