The film by Yuriy Ozerov, the famous author of the sensational film "Liberation", tells about the legendary marshal of the Soviet Union, Georgiy Zhukov. The life of this amazing man consisted not only of brilliant victories, there was a place in it for despair and crushing disasters. Over the years, it was not customary to reveal the hidden sides of Zhukov's biography. Only in the mid-90s, Yuriy Ozerov made an attempt to show the audience, without the usual stamps of the commander, his private life and his inner circle.—Peter-Patrick76 ([email protected])
