Mikhail Kalashnikov is the inventor of the legendary rifle.

More than a hundred Russian schoolchildren were taught to assemble AK-47s in a Moscow park on Saturday as the country this weekend celebrates the centenary of the birth of Mikhail Kalashnikov, inventor of the legendary rifle.

He said Gvardia regularly organises similar events and Saturday's get-together was not directly linked to Kalashnikov's anniversary.
