Ajouté : 2026-06-01

In 1945, Soviet General Georgy Zhukov, who had achieved legendary status by leading the Red Army to victory and capturing Berlin, became a political threat to Joseph Stalin due to his massive popularity among citizens and military personnel. Instead of receiving a hero's reward, Stalin viewed Zhukov as a direct threat to his leadership and fabricated charges of political disloyalty, stripping him of his high-ranking military command and quietly reassigning him to a remote provincial post, illustrating the intense paranoia that characterized Stalin's post-war era.
