Fun Fact: Zhukov and Eisenhower were good friends after WWII. They toured the USSR together. Eisenhower gifted Zhukov fishing tackle that supposedly Zhukov used for the rest of his life. I find it very interesting that the two men who were very much the architects of Allied armies in Europe were good friends. Both were very smart men.

@ruralhobo2 жыл бұрын
I liked the movie, and Isaacs in his role, but it was satire, not history. Zhukov, according to his contemporaries, was a great soldier but not lovable. He was caustic, very demanding of others, stubborn and quite willing to expend human lives. I find it hard to imagine the real Zhukov in the delightful movie scene where he fools Krushchev into thinking he'll report him, and then breaks into laughter and the words "look at your fucking face".

Zhukov was a soldier, he loved his country as some soldiers do. Politically among the top if we're talking about love for country at expense of self I'd say Molotov, but he loved the Soviet Union to a degree that was no longer practical. And ironically once it liberalised (to his own benefit cos his wife came back!) he started hating it? Idk I gotta read up maybe on Molotov. Dude seemed weird. Kruschev also I think genuinely believed and loved the project until he failed. He knew its brutality but thought it could all be worth it if only they can achieve their utopia. So I'd nominate him too.

As a character in this movie, Zhukov comes out as honorable, principled, brave, loyal, decisive, and far more ethical than the other players. If the real Zhukov had these same qualities, then Zhukov's family will have a movie they can treasure as they treasure his memory.

Jason Issacs' Zhukov is one of the standout performances in a film packed full of standout performances. I love the portrayal with the Yorkshire accent, specifically chosen because it's a down-to-earth, no-nonsense accent associated with tough, working class northerners (they could have also gone for a Lancashire accent, but I'm slightly biased on that!) He's shown as a tough, uncompromising character who doesn't suffer fools, is wary of politicians and is rightfully respected by his men and treats them fairly. The real Zhukov was one of the most respected commanders of World War II, a war hero for whom the Red Army would do anything, and a Russian patriot. No wonder Stalin was jealous of him and his popularity.

Zhukov hated politics and the day-to-day minutiae of being politician. He avoided politics as much as possible but when Stalin died he took his opportunity to prevent Beria and his NKVD cronies from consolidating power - something Stalin had been wary of for some time. When Beria resigned as chief of the NKVD and became head of State Security instead, Stalin slowly began replacing Beria's loyal underlings from the positions of power that Beria had promoted them into. Still, Beria commanded the loyalty of the NKVD (and it's successor, the MVD) and was easily the most powerful member of the Politburo at the time of Stalin's death. His downfall was that the only man more powerful than him, Zhukov, absolutely hated his guts and had no problem finding allies to remove him.

Khrushchev turned out to be a pretty good leader. He effectively ended the period of severe excess and violence under Stalin. Even ending the practice of summary executions.

Zhukov was a genius general, but a hard hearted man too; he didn't spare soldiers lives in the way he threw them into battles, unlike Rokkovssky. Still, compared to Beria he was an angel of the first degree. It would've been a disaster to have Beria replace Stalin.

Berija was earlier the head of the NKVD, which murdered millions in the 1930s, also many officers. The execution of Berija was the officers' families/relatives justified revenge.

Yes, Zhukov had lost friends in the 1939 purge conducted by Beria that killed a third of the Red Army's leadership. In particular Beria had personally tortured Zhukov's mentor, Tukhachevsky. Zhukov himself only narrowly escaped by being sent to command an army in eastern Siberia, where he got himself back into Stalin's good books by giving the Japanese a hiding in the border war of 1940.

“Well that’s got it done.” I would swear that Issacs had a slightly disturbed look on his face when he looks away from Beria’s body. Issacs NAILED this role! Also, if you look closely at what the camera shows (even in passing), it’s significant. When Beria’s list of rape charges is read, the camera passes a drawn pistol, then his portrait being taken down. Some serious foreshadowing there.

He got off easy. In the 1980s a Soviet airforce colonel of jet fighter squadron was sentenced to death by being burned alive. His crime was multiple rapes of wives of aircrew whom he sent on assignment. Hence the poor young ladies were alone at home. In accordance with this death sentence it was conducted on a parade square. His whole squadron at attention to witness sentence carried out. This is a rare event and said to be only officially carried out just three times since 1953ish.

The witness refuses to talk about it. He only mentioned it once after Xmas dinner. I am guessing only was a 1980s event. In around 1970 there was a woman killed in rural Norway by burning. Her clothing had no tags on them. She was not dressed for hiking on the mountain trail they discovered her body. This kind of reeks of GRU hunting down a defecting spy.
