Buying a Kalashnikov Is Easier Than Ever at the Moscow Airport

They look so real, it's almost scary. AK-47 assault rifle-maker Kalashnikov, the notorious favorite of rebels and warlords alike, is going mainstream with a boutique at the terminal connected to Moscow's main airport, Sheremetyevo. The boutique sells high-end replicas that cost almost as much as the real thing—alongside survival gear, tote bags and "I ♥ AK"  T-shirts. Photographs by Andrey Rudakov/Bloomberg
