Talk:Georgy Zhukov

hi

Hello. Do you have an interest or comment on the Georgi Zhukov article? - Texture 18:32, 7 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Yes, I do. Before assuming command of the defence of Moscow in late 1941, Zhukov organised the defence of Leningrad, stopping the German advance in the southern outskirts of the city. Maybe you want to insert a more elaborate reference to that?

Oh and by the way, Russia adopted the Zhukov Order and the Zhukov Medal in 1995, commemorating his 100th birthday.

Zhukov didn't subdue 'a peasant revolt" but the Tambov rebellion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tambov_rebellion

Russian topography and administration

Hello,

there was no Ugodski-Zavod raion in tsarist era, I was wrong, sorry. The tsarist-era raion was of larger scale than later soviet-era raion. - therefore is right: "born in ...Maloyaroslavets raion".

Does anyone know when the place (PGT) UGODSKI ZAVOD was renamed "ZHUKOVO" in Georgi K. Zhukov's honor ?

Thanks, WernerE (germanwiki), 25.2.05

Kursk

How does it happen that Battle of Kursk is not linked, nor the city even mentioned? Robert Service (NPR interview 2005 May) attributes his role at Kursk as the biggest reason for his veneration to this day in Russia, unless i got confused.

Zhukov was representative of Stavka (actually, Stalin's deputy), to coordinate the Fronts during the battle. The immediate major commanders are listed at the Battle of Kursk article. If one wants to attribute this piece of glory to Zhukov, he must not forget that all Soviet battles have been won by the Greatest Military Genius of All Times Generalissimo Stalin.

Mistake in the article

The painting of Marshal Zhukov is tagged as "propaganda poster" In fact, this is a painting by the artist Konstantin Vassiliev (Константин Васильев), 1942 - 1976. You can see some of his paintings at http://rus-sky.com/vasilyev/
