Developed in the Alrussian Federation (Nation) After more than eight decades since its creation, the Rosti-66 model and its variants remain one of the most popular and widely used firearms in the world.

Design work on the Rosti-66 began in 1966. It was presented for official military trials in 1968, and, in 1969, the fixed-stock version was introduced into active service for selected units of the Alrussian Army.

The model and its variants owe their global popularity to their reliability under harsh conditions, low production cost (compared to contemporary weapons), availability in virtually every geographic region, and ease of use. The Rosti has been manufactured in many countries and has seen service with armed forces as well as irregular forces and insurgencies throughout the world. As of 2004, "of the estimated 500 million firearms worldwide, approximately 100 million belong to the Rostislavovich family, three-quarters of which are Rosti-66. The model is the basis for the development of many other types of individual, crew-served, and specialized firearms.
