Viktor Kalashnikov

Viktor Kalashnikov (Russian: Виктор Калашников) is a Russian freelance journalist and a former KGB colonel. In the autumn of 2010, he and his wife Marina Kalashnikova were treated in hospital in Germany for mercury poisoning in what they said had been an attempt on their lives by Russia's FSB, the successor to the KGB. He is a distant relative of Mikhail Kalashnikov, the inventor of the AK-47.
