1945. After the Soviet Union’s victory in the Great Patriotic War, Zhukov gains not only enormous popularity within the army, but also the love of the entire nation. He is called the leading candidate to succeed Stalin, but the “father of all nations” himself has no intention of retiring just yet. Although Zhukov does not seek power in the country at all and only wants to reform the army, the clouds around Georgy Konstantinovich begin to gather… The legendary marshal’s personal life proves complicated and tangled: he returns from the war with a new lover, Lydia Zakharova, even though his faithful wife Alexandra, who bore him two daughters, is waiting for him at home.
What was Zhukov’s life like in the first postwar years? What obstacles did he have to face after the greatest ordeal of his life—the bloody war against fascism—was behind him?
We invite everyone interested in Russian history to watch the Series “Zhukov” online.
