He probably would have died in the gulag or at the very least not achieved what he did. Stalin was not fond of the aerospace industry so the guy who's at the leading edge of designing rotary winged aircraft would likely find his name high up on the wrong list and if he escaped that fate the money wouldn't have exactly been flowing his way.
- readhn 8y agoIts definitely a strong possibility that his talent would have gone unrealized! Imagine it didn't. Literally the outcome of WWII could have been very different. Of course "what if's" dont count. Still fascinating to me how much he's accomplished 100 years ago! Here we are today burning 100's of millions in cash of investors money with "0 results" (really). lol

Mikhail Kalashnikov wanted to design agricultural equipment because he wanted to help prevent famine. Who knows if he would have been any good at it but that door closed on June 22 1941. It's hard to say what would have happened had history been different.
