The name of the outstanding Soviet commander G.K. Zhukov is known to everyone in our country. An exceptionally strong and strong-willed personality, Georgy Konstantinovich will forever remain in the memory of the people's symbol of the Great Victory, won in the bloodiest of all wars in the history of mankind. He did not stain himself during the years of repression, was not a hypocrite and did not look for easy ways. His life is an example of the highest demands on himself and others. Using many new documents, the author sharply and sometimes mercilessly paints a portrait of the famous commander without the usual retouching and textbook gloss.
