Be careful over there, it's a funny time in east west relations once more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

studley Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 I went to school with a russian guy. He was from Ishevsk and his father was an arms dealer - interesting chap! I think it might be a long drive to the ural mountains but thats where the main weapons manufacturing plants in russia were traditionally based. Apparently Ishevsk was never on the map being such an important arms manufacturing city. My schoolmates family lived in the same apartment block as mr kaleshnikov himself! Good luck with the shopping! My experience of russia was (avoiding) the prostitutes and the gangsters with pistol holsters and chromed pistols hanging out their jackets on an art history trip!
