Georgy Zhukov from The death of Stalin

Jason Isaacs stole the entire movie for me. He really turned up for a few scenes to be fabulous and unhinged

Happy birthday, Georgy Zhukov! (December 1, 1896)

One of the highest-ranking members of the Red Army during World War II, Georgy Zhukov served as Chief of the General Staff, Minister of Defense, and Marshal of the Soviet Union at various points throughout an illustrious and decorated military career. Drafted into the Imperial Russian Army during World War I, Zhukov joined the Bolsheviks after the October Revolution and fought for the Red Army in the Russian Civil War. Rising through the ranks, Zhukov received the Hero of the Soviet Union award, the first of four he would earn, at the Battle of Khalkhin Gol in 1939 and was made a General the next year. Zhukov helped to organize the defense of the Soviet Union from the Wehrmacht during World War II, frequently clashing with Stalin on matters of strategy. He helped lead the Red Army to victory in the bloody Siege of Leningrad, and commanded the 1st Belorussian Front during the capture of Berlin. Zhukov personally accepted the instruments of German surrender. The military governor of the Soviet Occupation Zone after the war, Zhukov’s popularity and acclaim made him a potential threat to Stalin, and so he was removed from many of his positions. After Stalin’s death, Zhukov became a political ally of Nikita Khrushchev, and regained a great deal of influence once Khrushchev took power. However, Zhukov ultimately overplayed his hand and by 1957 had once again fallen out of favor and been removed from his posts. He retired from military and political life, and died an old man in 1974.

“Nazis did not expect Soviet resistance to be so strong. The deeper they moved into this country’s territory, the more fierce it became. When Hitler’s armies approached Moscow, every man and woman here thought it imperative to resist the enemy. And that resistance grew by the day. The enemy was sustaining heavy losses, one after another. In fact, Hitler’s best troops perished here. Nazis believed the Red Army was not capable of defending Moscow, but their schemes failed.”

Ryu Number: Georgy Zhukov

Georgy Zhukov, a Marshal of the Soviet Union who oversaw some of the Red Army's most decisive victories in the course of World War II, has a Ryu Number of 3.

Notably, he's the only Soviet Marshal to have been played by Jason Isaacs in a satirical black comedy subsequently banned in Russia. There aren't a lot of those.

I watched 'Death of Stalin' and I loved it.

Listen to me, it could've been a serious movie about the power fights of the people under Stalin, but instead we got peak political comedy featuring Jason Isaacs in a military uniform with some really good one-liners.

1974-Georgy Zhukov

Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov (Russian: Георгий Константинович Жуков; 1 December 1896 – 18 June 1974) was a Marshal of the Soviet Union. He also served as Chief of the General Staff, Minister of Defence, and was a member of the Presidium of the Communist Party (later Politburo). During World War II, Zhukov oversaw some of the Red Army's most decisive victories.

He served in the Red Army during the Russian Civil War. Gradually rising through the ranks, by 1939 Zhukov had been given command of an army group and won a decisive battle over Japanese forces at Khalkhin Gol, for which he won the first of his four Hero of the Soviet Union awards. In February 1941, Zhukov was appointed as chief of the Red Army's General Staff.

In 1945, Zhukov commanded the 1st Belorussian Front; he took part in the Vistula–Oder Offensive, and the Battle of Berlin, which resulted in the defeat of Nazi Germany, and the end of the war in Europe. In recognition of Zhukov's role in the war, he was chosen to accept the German Instrument of Surrender, and inspect the Moscow Victory Parade of 1945.

After the war, Zhukov's success and popularity caused Joseph Stalin to see him as a potential threat.[1] Stalin stripped him of his positions and relegated him to military commands of little strategic significance. After Stalin's death in 1953, Zhukov supported Nikita Khrushchev's bid for Soviet leadership. In 1955, he was appointed as Defence Minister and made a member of the Presidium. 

 In 1957, Zhukov lost favour again and was forced to retire. He never returned to a position of influence and died in 1974. Zhukov is remembered as one of the greatest Russian and Soviet military leaders of all time, along with Alexander Suvorov and Mikhail Kutuzov.

ANNOUNCEMENT!

Hello, everyone! As you may all know, I have been quite noisy about this, but I have been writing a book. I am finally happy to present to you the title of the book...

"The Tired Red Swans: A Secret Love Story from Soviet Russia."

What's it all about? Well...

"USSR, 1931: Irina Shulzhenko was chosen by General Secretary Joseph Stalin to be the governess of his children, when she meets Vyacheslav Molotov, who was the 3rd Premier of the Soviet Union. Amused by each other, the two became friends and later became lovers. A story of love, lust, power, politics, and communism, witness one of the controversial yet legendary love stories hidden for years in Soviet Russia." Whoa!

Disclaimer: The author deeply condemns Stalin’s atrocities, and hopes it never happen again. The casting here would be as is from Armando Iannucci’s movie The Death of Stalin (2017), although it closely follows the real-life chronology of events.

So, who are the characters? Well, most of them are Soviet figures like: Molotov, Stalin, Khrushchev, Beria, Zhukov, Bulganin, Malenkov, Mikoyan, Kaganovich, Svetlana and Vasily, and some more!

But our main character is a woman, and her name is Irina Shulzhenko!

Irina Shulzhenko is the main character of TTRS. She is the governess to Stalin's children, Molotov's secretary, once Foreign Minister and Soviet Ambassador to the UK. She is played by none other than Lara Fabian!

More details? Okay! It's got 50K+ words, and 36 chapters. I worked on it for like 2 months, while balancing schoolwork. Whoa, juggler!

This will be released on Archive of Our Own, next Saturday, June 10, 2023! Mark your calendars! I will shamelessly promote this so bear with me.

I'll post the link once it is all done!

And here's the playlist!

the more I read abt Zhukov and Model the more I want to PUT THEM TOGETHER IN A ROOM AND JUST. LET. THEM. TALK. abt anything; military things, the war, their leadership, their childhood and personal lives ... just —everything.

I think abt this so many times it makes me crazy. like — I'll walk through hell to find them and drag them together somewhere only to hear them having conversations.

[howieabel]

The greatness of heroic victory over Fascist Germany is in the fact that the Soviet Union did not defend the socialist state alone, but that it selflessly fought to defend the internationalist proletarian goal- defeat the bulk of the Nazi armed forces and deliver the peoples of Europe from occupation. The Soviet people have not forgotten other peoples' contribution to the victory over the common enemy. Our army and people remember and value the courage of the Resistance fighters.
