Yes, HR is entitled to benefits. On a Russian TV program, it was mentioned that HR have a hard time finding a job because employers by law have to give them extra vacation days.
The way M. Kalashnikov wears his decorations is interesting. He chooses not to put on the blue ribbon and the badge of St. Andrew order. Contrary to regulations, Russian Federation award For Military Merits follows Soviet orders.
While he doesn't like his assault rifle in the hands of terrorists, gangsters, and soldiers of rogue nations, he also complains about not getting royalties :D On History Channel, he griped about Eugene Stoner having his own jet. In my opinion, Kalashnikov was financially rewarded for his invention. In Soviet times, weapon designers enjoyed high salaries. He got Stalin and Lenin prizes, each included a huge monetary reward. Also, as a recipient of Russian Federation State Prize, he should have gotten 5 mil rubles (~$166000).
