Genuinely just curious as to what people think would have happened had he retained power or had his coup against Kruschev been successful

      Brilliantly skilled, preening self-justifying opportunist, rationally and resourcefully brave. Critical support for Zhukov as a hero of the Soviet Union, I still think he should have been put on trial and faced a death sentence for treason and undermining the peoples democracy.

      He defeated a full-scale Japanese invasion in 1939. It's forgotten today, but he was at Nomonhan, having barely escaped the purges with his life. Without him, the Japanese would have probably gotten all the way to Lake Baikal and there would have been no Pearl Harbor.

      Zhukov repeated his tactic at Stalingrad and it worked equally well.
