The AK was a design lifted directly from the German Stuhrmgewehr 44, and a poor copy designed for peasants. I wonder what inspired the Rus for this pistol.

Hardly. The StG 44 has a tilting bolt like the SKS, and was designed with stamped steel body. The original AK was designed with a milled steel receiver, a rotary bolt, and still got a higher rate of fire than the StG 44.
