Leonid Kurchevsky Versus The Third Law Of Motion

What a great title!
One footnote about the Soviets and recoilless guns was that they were able to build them for their armed Almaz space stations (and the failed Polyus 'Death Star' which @AndyC has written about), which is rather important as firing a gun with recoil will potentially knock your space station out of orbit.

Two thoughts:
a) "the Experimental Design Bureau" is the perfect name for either a group of sinister pulp villains or a plucky team of scientists in a genre show
b) There's surely an AH in Kurchevsky staying on Stalin's good side and the Red Army being lumbered with a load of shit guns in 1941

Wouldn't really change that much, IMO. Most of their prewar stocks, whatever the quality, are going to get walloped in 1941 no matter what. And that's assuming production isn't stopped and shifted to an easier and simpler alternative even before the war once the problems develop, which leaves a few hundred guns at most which are then used up in the early war.
