I worked in Moscow from 1990 till 1991 and witnessed the transformation from the old Soviet time to the new Russian Federation. I was in the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall in Moscow to buy a ticket. There was an elderly woman there in the hall besides the window with her handbag open. She still had black hair and as she and I were the only persons present, I went over to her for a chat. She told me that during the end of the war she was a young girl working in the Soviet occupied Berlin directly for General Zhukov. "My job was to take the documents of the day and bring them to the various occupied Allied zones and deliver them there," she told me. "I was a young girl then, and I had come with the Soviet Army who took Berlin." Her name was Bella. It was a rare encounter indeed. I am 73 today. Thank you from Oslo.

Wow! It seems to me as a citizen of the US that we’ve consistently broken our promises to Russia & kicked it when it was down. Russia has tried to be allies with us yet our politicians seem to only want to exploit money out of Russia & then verbally attack it to distract from the fact that some of our US politicians are corrupt. IMHO Russia had no choice regarding Ukraine. We provoked that war & seem to despise any nation that simply wants to exercise legitimate sovereignty & look after its interests & the interests of its citizens. I had always hoped that the 2020s would be the decade where I was able to travel through much of Russia. I hope that becomes a reality but until we can elect some reasonable leaders here in the US, I believe that we’ll co RonIE to see hypocritical US foreign policy.

What a beautiful memory, thanks for sharing.

My father Dimitri Fomin ( 1915-2015 ) was in the Red Army in WW2. He told me stories about different battles, including the Stalingrad siege and subsequent push back of the German army by Zhukov. He was in the push back all the way to Germany ( Berlin ) and told me he saw Frederick von Paulus before the surrender, and I still have today a "real" photo of von Paulus standing against a tree. Upon arrival in Berlin my father crossed over to the Allies side ( American ) and ended up in Austria, where he met my mother to be, went to Brazil where I was born, and then to the USA in 1961 where I am still living in Chicago at age 75. I think I can write a book about this and make a movie as well, perhaps I should and must, regards from Chicago...................................

My favorite Marshal Zhukov story has to do with his retirement years. After the Presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower came to a close. The former Supreme Allied Commader in the West and President of the United States was at a diplomatic function and among those in adendance was the Red Army's Miltary Attache to the US. President Eisenhower asked the Attache how was Marshall Zhukov doing in retirement, the Attache said that the Marshall fished a lot. So President Eisenhower sent his old friend and comrad in arms a crate full of fishing tackle. Its been said that the Marhal treasured those items till the day he died. What I found sad about this is that Marshal Zhukov could not come and visit with Eisenhower in Carlie Pa. Fish for the Brook trout PA is famous for, see some of the sight, grill and eat some good beef, give a few lectures at Carlie Barracks and to the Kids at West Point.

However by doing this you realize you will lose a certain amount of men to achieve goal. This maneuver by the way was also performed by Hannibal versus the Romans at Canae.

I never quite understood that about the leadership in the Soviet Union. To purge ones general staff based on the leader at the time personal opinion is rather an odd way of doing things.

There were massive rifts in the Union between those who wanted Stalin, and those who wanted Trotsky. After the assasination of Kirov in 34, and Stalin nearly being assasinated several times, the NKVD checked into the generals, finding many of them prefering Trotsky, or the right opposition led by Bukharin. Through further investigations they found Bukharin had worked with Trotsky in secret to create a coup to supplant Stalin and bring capitalism back to the SU. Trotsky was never really trusted by many in the party as he was a late comer that had been a Menshevik before he became a bolshevik. Zinoviev and Kamenev were also guilty of crimes. Wether or not this is totally true or propaganda I don't know, but this is basically the reasons for the purges. Stalin felt he had to do it to save himself and the Soviet Union.

A remarkable general who earned all his medals unlike some of the generals today. Clearly the best general in WW2 on either side by a considerable margin.

History has presented many great leaders of forgotten battles, and all of the generals that were elevated during the the most trying go times General Zhukov, achieved his dominance on the battlefield by building his victories by the restless toil human labor, and machine; building the railroads that were necessary to support his battlefield posture; offensively or defensively. The Allied Command in WWII, couldn't keep up with him.

Zuchov must to have had an incredible tempemant not to get offed in Stalins purge. Amazing how History always puts the right man at the right time. This is my humble opinion

Two other stories about Zhukov - he was enraged when only some time after the end of WW2 he learned that Hitler's body had been retrieved and sent back to Moscow. Nobody told him. The second story is that Stalin gave him the "honour" of riding a white stallion in the lead of the victory parade in Red Square. Stalin's son quietly warned him to beware of the horse as Stalin had himself planned to ride it but it threw him off a few days before. Stalin tried to sideline Zhukov and did to some extent, but he could do him no real harm as he was so popular with the army and the people.
