When it comes to AK's I am a fan of the traditional layout........wood and steel.
On the AK forum, there is the constant battle of "traditional" vs "tacticool" and what is considered accurate in builds (very similar to the AR retro section, except we argue about proper rivet structure, wood stain, bulgarian vs. russian muzzle brakes, etc..) Well folks, straight out of Russia comes this: 
It now seems that all the tacticool AK's are now correct. Here is what I see on the rifle (feel free to add what I missed): TWS Dogleg rail system Magpul BUIS Aimpoint T1/H1 - unknown riser PEQ-15 Surefire of some sort Unknown rail system Krebs safety Tromix BCG handle mod M4 stock. My questions: - Can US companies just send this stuff to Russia? - What is his username 
ETA: Here are pics from further down in the thread - not airsoft and in Russia

That's a dang lot of American gear for a Russian. Are you sure it's not airsoft?
ETA: I see the additional pictures now. I still wonder how they get that much American stuff. |

My guess is, whether they are slinging tacticool AKs, classic AKs, Makarov pistols or Mosin 91/30s, those guys are killing machines and not to be taken lightly.
EDIT: In before the pic of Medevev holding up the AK with a metric shit ton of accessories on it. |

ETA: Didn't see the night vision mount behind the T-1, guess that would be a good reason for the offset. |
