Plekhanov the computer scientist specializing in isotope behavior.Plekhanov worked closely with Mikhail Kalashnikov, the designer of the famed AK-47 (Avtomat Kalashnikova 47), throughout the 1940s. Although Kalashnikov denies that the AK-47 design is based on the German Sturmgewehr 44, it is believed that Plekhanov procured a Sturmgewehr 44 and may have introduced it to Kalashnikov in the early 1940s.
