Zhukov Georgy Konstantinovich

Four times Hero of the Soviet Union, Marshal of the Soviet Union

Born on November 19 (December 1), 1896 in the village of Strelkovka, Ugodsko-Zavodskaya volost, Maloyaroslavets district Kaluga region(now Zhukovsky district of the Kaluga region), in the family of peasants Konstantin Artemyevich and Ustinya Artemyevna Zhukov.

At the beginning of May 1940, G.K. Zhukov was received by I.V. Stalin. This was followed by his appointment as commander of the Kyiv Special Military District. In the same year, a decision was made to assign the ranks of general to the senior command staff of the Red Army. G.K. Zhukov was awarded the rank of Army General.

In December 1940, a meeting was held at the General Staff with the participation of district and army commanders, members of Military Councils and chiefs of staff. Army General G.K. Zhukov also made a report there. He emphasized that an attack on the USSR by Nazi Germany is inevitable. The Red Army will have to deal with the most powerful army in the West. Based on this, Georgy Konstantinovich put forward the most important task of accelerating the formation of tank and mechanized formations, strengthening Air Force and air defense.

At the end of January 1941, G.K. Zhukov was appointed head General Staff- Deputy People's Commissar of Defense of the USSR. Relying on his closest assistants, he quickly got used to this multifaceted and very responsible position. The General Staff carried out a great deal of operational, organizational and mobilization work. But G.K. Zhukov immediately noticed significant shortcomings in his activities, as well as in the work of the People's Commissar of Defense and the commanders of the military branches. In particular, no preparation measures were taken in case of war command posts, from where it would be possible to control all the Armed Forces, quickly transmit Headquarters directives to the troops, and receive and process reports from the troops.

The activities of the General Staff under the leadership of G.K. Zhukov intensified significantly. First of all, she was sent to successful preparation V short term our army to war. But time was already lost. On June 22, 1941, the troops of Nazi Germany attacked the USSR. The Great Patriotic War began.

In August-September 1941, G.K. Zhukov, commanding the troops of the Reserve Front, successfully carried out the first offensive operation in the history of the Great Patriotic War. Then an extremely dangerous situation developed near Yelnya. A ledge had formed there, from which the German tank and motorized divisions of Army Group Center, led by Field Marshal von Bock, were preparing to attack our troops, crush them, and deal them a mortal blow. But Georgy Konstantinovich figured out this plan in time. He threw the main artillery forces of the Reserve Front against the tank and motorized divisions. Seeing dozens of tanks and vehicles go up in flames, the field marshal ordered the armored forces to be withdrawn and replaced with infantry. But that didn't help either. Under powerful fire, the Nazis were forced to retreat. The dangerous ledge was eliminated. The Soviet Guard was born in the battles near Yelnya.

When an extremely critical situation developed near Leningrad and the question arose about whether this glorious city on the Neva should exist or not, Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov was appointed commander of the troops of the Leningrad Front on September 11, 1941. At the cost of incredible efforts, he manages to mobilize all reserves and rouse everyone who was able to contribute to the defense of the city to fight.

Since August 1942, G. K. Zhukov has been the first deputy people's commissar of defense of the USSR and deputy supreme commander-in-chief. He coordinated the actions of the fronts at Stalingrad, during the days of breaking the siege of Leningrad, in the battle of Kursk, and in the battles for the Dnieper. In April 1944, troops under his command liberated many cities and railway junctions and reached the foothills of the Carpathians. For particularly outstanding services to the Motherland, Marshal of the Soviet Union G. K. Zhukov was awarded the highest military award- Order "Victory" No. 1.

In the summer of 1944, G. K. Zhukov coordinated the actions of the 1st and 2nd Belarusian Fronts in the Belarusian Strategic Operation. Well-planned and well-provided with logistics, this operation was completed successfully. The destroyed Minsk and many cities and villages of Belarus were liberated from the enemy.

On August 22, 1944, G. K. Zhukov was summoned to Moscow and received a special task State Committee Defense: prepare the troops of the 3rd Ukrainian Front for a war with Bulgaria, whose government continued to cooperate with Nazi Germany. On September 5, 1944, the Soviet government declared war on Bulgaria. However, on the territory of Bulgaria Soviet troops were greeted by the Bulgarian military units with red banners and without weapons. And crowds of people greeted Russian soldiers with flowers. G.K. Zhukov reported this to J.V. Stalin and received instructions not to disarm the Bulgarian garrisons. Soon they opposed the fascist troops.

In April–May 1945, front troops under the command of Marshal of the Soviet Union G.K. Zhukov, in cooperation with the troops of the 1st Ukrainian and 2nd Belorussian Fronts, successfully carried out the Berlin offensive operation. Having defeated the largest group of Nazi troops, they captured Berlin. On May 8, 1945, G. K. Zhukov, on behalf of the Soviet Supreme High Command, accepted Karlshorst surrender fascist Germany. This is the brightest and most brilliant page in the biography of the outstanding commander Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov. The second outstanding event in his life was the Victory Parade on Red Square. He, the commander who made a huge contribution to the defeat of fascism, had the honor of hosting this historical parade.

While retired, Georgy Konstantinovich accomplished his last feat. Despite his poor health (heart attack, stroke, inflammation of the trigeminal nerve), he did a truly gigantic job, personally writing a truthful book about the Great Patriotic War - “Memories and Reflections.” The book began with the words: “I dedicate it to the Soviet Soldier. G. Zhukov." On June 18, 1974 at 14.30 Georgy Konstantinovich died.

Rokossovsky Konstantin Konstantinovich

Twice Hero of the Soviet Union, Marshal of the Soviet Union

Born on December 21, 1896 in the small Russian town of Velikiye Luki (formerly Pskov province), in the family of a Pole railway driver, Xavier-Józef Rokossovsky, and his Russian wife Antonina.

With the outbreak of World War I, Rokossovsky asked to join one of the Russian regiments heading west through Warsaw.

After the October armed uprising, he served in the Red Army as an assistant detachment chief, commander of a cavalry squadron and a separate cavalry division. For the battle against Kolchak he was awarded the Order of the Red Banner. Then Rokossovsky commanded cavalry regiments, brigades, divisions, and corps. On the Eastern Front he took part in battles against the White Czechs, Admiral Kolchak, Semenov's gangs, and Baron Ungern. For the last operation he was awarded the second Order of the Red Banner.

In August 1937, he became a victim of slander: he was arrested and accused of having connections with foreign intelligence services. He behaved courageously, did not admit guilt to anything, and in March 1940 he was released and fully restored to civil rights.

From July to November 1940, K.K. Rokossovsky commanded the cavalry, and from the beginning of the Great Patriotic War - the 9th mechanized corps. In July 1941, he was appointed commander of the 4th Army and transferred to the Western Front (Smolensk direction). The Yartsevo group of troops, led by Rokossovsky, stops the powerful pressure of the Nazis.

During the German offensive on Moscow, Rokossovsky commanded the troops of the 16th Army and led the defense of the Yakhroma, Solnechnogorsk and Volokolamsk directions. In the decisive days of the battle for the capital, he organizes a successful counter-offensive of the troops of the 16th Army in the Solnechnogorsk and Istra directions. During the bold operation, enemy strike forces trying to bypass Moscow from the north and south were defeated. The enemy was driven back 100–250 km from Moscow. The Wehrmacht suffered its first major defeat in the war, and the myth of its invincibility was dispelled.

In July 1942, during the German breakthrough to Voronezh, K.K. Rokossovsky was appointed commander of the Bryansk Front. In those days, the enemy managed to reach the great bend of the Don and create a direct threat to Stalingrad and North Caucasus. The front troops covered the Tula direction with their right wing, and the Voronezh direction with their left, with the task of holding the occupied line (northwest of Voronezh) and stopping the enemy’s advance into the interior of the country. With a counterattack from the front forces, Rokossovsky thwarted the Germans’ attempt to expand the breakthrough to the north towards Yelets.

In 1943, the Central Front, led by Rokossovsky, first successfully carried out a defensive battle on Kursk Bulge, and then, organizing a counter-offensive west of Kursk, defeated the fascist troops here, liberating the entire territory from the invaders east of the rivers Sozh and Dnieper from Gomel to Kyiv, capturing a number of bridgeheads on the western bank of the Dnieper.

The Second World War is considered one of the most fierce and bloody armed conflicts of the 20th century. Of course, victory in the war was the merit of the Soviet people, who, at the cost of countless sacrifices, gave the future generation peaceful life. However, this became possible thanks to unsurpassed talent - the participants of the Second World War forged victory together with ordinary citizens of the USSR, demonstrating heroism and courage.

Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov

One of the most key figures The Great Patriotic War is considered to be Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov. The beginning of Zhukov's military career dates back to 1916, when he took direct part in the First World War. In one of the battles, Zhukov was seriously wounded and shell-shocked, but despite this, he did not leave his post. For courage and valor he was awarded the Cross of St. George, 3rd and 4th degree.

The WWII generals are not just military commanders, they are real innovators in their field. Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov is a prime example of this. It was he, the first of all representatives of the Red Army, who was awarded the insignia - the Marshall Star, and also awarded the highest service - Marshal of the Soviet Union.

Alexey Mikhailovich Vasilevsky

The list “Generals of the Second World War” is impossible to imagine without this outstanding person. During the entire war, Vasilevsky was at the fronts for 22 months with his soldiers, and only 12 months in Moscow. The great commander personally commanded the battles in heroic Stalingrad, during the days of the defense of Moscow, and repeatedly visited the most dangerous territories from the point of view of attack by the enemy German army.

Alexey Mikhailovich Vasilevsky, Major General of the Second World War, had an amazingly courageous character. Thanks to his strategic thinking and lightning-fast understanding of the situation, he was repeatedly able to repel enemy attacks and avoid many casualties.

Konstantin Konstantinovich Rokossovsky

The rating “Outstanding Generals of the Second World War” will not be complete without mentioning amazing person, the talented commander K.K. Rokossovsky. Rokossovsky's military career began at the age of 18, when he asked to join the Red Army, whose regiments passed through Warsaw.

The biography of the great commander has a negative imprint. So, in 1937, he was slandered and accused of having connections with foreign intelligence, which served as the basis for his arrest. However, Rokossovsky’s perseverance played a significant role. He did not admit to the charges against him. The acquittal and release of Konstantin Konstantinovich took place in 1940.

For successful fighting near Moscow, as well as for the defense of Stalingrad, the name of Rokossovsky is listed at the top of the list of “great generals of the Second World War.” For the role that the general played in the attack on Minsk and Baranovichi, Konstantin Konstantinovich was awarded the title “Marshal of the Soviet Union.” He was awarded many orders and medals.

Ivan Stepanovich Konev

Do not forget that the list of “Generals and Marshals of the Second World War” includes the name of I. S. Konev. One of the key operations, which is indicative of the fate of Ivan Stepanovich, is considered to be the Korsun-Shevchenko offensive. This operation made it possible to surround large group enemy troops, which also played a positive role in turning the tide of the war.

Alexander Werth wrote about this tactical offensive and Konev’s unique victory - popular English journalist: “Konev, through slush, mud, impassability and muddy roads, carried out a lightning-fast attack on enemy forces.” For his innovative ideas, perseverance, valor and colossal courage, Ivan Stepanovich joined the list that included generals and marshals of the Second World War. Commander Konev received the title of “Marshal of the Soviet Union” third, after Zhukov and Vasilevsky.

Andrey Ivanovich Eremenko

One of the most famous personalities Andrei Ivanovich Eremenko, born in the settlement of Markovka in 1872, is considered to be a member of the Great Patriotic War. The military career of an outstanding commander began in 1913, when he was drafted into the Russian Imperial Army.

This person is interesting because he received the title of Marshal of the Soviet Union for merits other than Rokossovsky, Zhukov, Vasilevsky and Konev. If the listed generals of the armies of the Second World War were awarded orders for offensive operations, then Andrei Ivanovich received an honorary military rank for defense. Eremenko received Active participation in the operations near Stalingrad, in particular, he was one of the initiators of the counteroffensive, which resulted in the capture of a group of German soldiers in the amount of 330 thousand people.

Rodion Yakovlevich Malinovsky

Rodion Yakovlevich Malinovsky is considered one of the most prominent commanders of the Great Patriotic War. He enlisted in the Red Army at the age of 16. During the First World War he received multiple severe wounds. Two fragments from shells stuck in my back, the third pierced my leg. Despite this, after recovery he was not discharged, but continued to serve his homeland.

His military successes during the Second World War deserve special words. In December 1941, being in the rank of lieutenant general, Malinovsky was appointed commander of the Southern Front. However, the most striking episode in the biography of Rodion Yakovlevich is considered to be the defense of Stalingrad. The 66th Army, under the strict leadership of Malinovsky, launched a counteroffensive near Stalingrad. Thanks to this, it was possible to defeat the 6th German army, which reduced the enemy’s pressure on the city. After the end of the war, Rodion Yakovlevich was awarded the honorary title “Hero of the Soviet Union.”

Semyon Konstantinovich Timoshenko

The victory, of course, was forged by the entire people, but the WWII generals played a special role in the defeat of the German troops. List outstanding commanders supplemented by the surname of Semyon Konstantinovich Timoshenko. The commander repeatedly received anger due to failed operations in the first days of the war. Semyon Konstantinovich, showing courage and bravery, asked the commander-in-chief to send him to the most dangerous part of the battles.

During his military activities, Marshal Timoshenko commanded the most important fronts and directions that were of a strategic nature. Most bright facts The commander’s biography includes battles on the territory of Belarus, in particular the defense of Gomel and Mogilev.

Ivan Khristoforovich Chuikov

Ivan Khristoforovich was born into a peasant family in 1900. He decided to devote his life to serving his homeland and to connect it with military activities. Was directly involved in Civil War, for which he was awarded two Orders of the Red Banner.

During World War II he was the commander of the 64th and then the 62nd Army. Under his leadership, the most important defensive battles took place, which made it possible to defend Stalingrad. Ivan Khristoforovich Chuikov was awarded the title “Hero of the Soviet Union” for the liberation of Ukraine from fascist occupation.

The Great Patriotic War is the most important battle of the 20th century. Thanks to valor, courage and courage Soviet soldiers, as well as innovation and the ability of commanders to make decisions in difficult situations, managed to achieve a crushing victory of the Red Army over Nazi Germany.

The creator of victory in the Great Patriotic War was Soviet people. But to implement his efforts, to protect the Fatherland on the battlefields, it was necessary high level the military art of the Armed Forces, which was supported by the leadership talent of military leaders.

The operations carried out by our military leaders in the last war are now being studied in all military academies around the world. And if we talk about assessing their courage and talent, here is one of them, short but expressive: “As a soldier who observed the campaign of the Red Army, I was filled with the deepest admiration for the skill of its leaders.” This was said by Dwight Eisenhower, a man who understood the art of war.

The harsh school of war selected and assigned the most outstanding commanders to the positions of front commanders by the end of the war.

The main features of military leadership talent Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov(1896-1974) - creativity, innovation, ability to make decisions unexpected for the enemy. He was also distinguished by his deep intelligence and insight. According to Machiavelli, “nothing makes a great commander like the ability to penetrate the enemy’s plans.” This ability of Zhukov played a particularly important role in the defense of Leningrad and Moscow, when, with extremely limited forces, only through good reconnaissance and foreseeing possible directions of enemy attacks, he was able to collect almost all available means and repel enemy attacks.

Another outstanding military leader strategic plan was Alexander Mikhailovich Vasilevsky(1895-1977). Being the chief of the General Staff for 34 months during the war, A. M. Vasilevsky was in Moscow for only 12 months, at the General Staff, and was at the fronts for 22 months. G.K. Zhukov and A.M. Vasilevsky had developed strategic thinking and a deep understanding of the situation. It was this circumstance that led to the same assessment of the situation and the development of far-sighted and informed decisions on the counter-offensive operation at Stalingrad, to the transition to strategic defense on the Kursk Bulge and in a number of other cases .

Invaluable quality Soviet commanders was their ability to take reasonable risks. This trait of military leadership was noted, for example, among Marshal Konstantin Konstantinovich Rokossovsky(1896-1968). One of the remarkable pages of the military leadership of K. K. Rokossovsky -Belarusian operation, in which he commanded the troops of the 1st Belorussian Front.

An important feature of military leadership is intuition, which makes it possible to achieve surprise in a strike. Possessed this rare quality Konev Ivan Stepanovich(1897-1973). His talent as a commander was most convincingly and clearly demonstrated in offensive operations, during which many brilliant victories were won. At the same time, he always tried not to get involved in protracted battles in big cities and forced the enemy to leave the city with roundabout maneuvers. This allowed him to reduce the losses of his troops and prevent great destruction and casualties among the civilian population.

If I. S. Konev showed his best leadership qualities in offensive operations, then Andrey Ivanovich Eremenko(1892-1970) - in defensive.

A characteristic feature of a true commander is the originality of his plans and actions, his departure from the template, stratagem what he succeeded in great commander A. V. Suvorov. Malinovsky Rodion Yakovlevich(1898-1967). Throughout almost the entire war, a remarkable feature of his military leadership talent was that in the plan of each operation he included some unexpected method of action for the enemy, and was able to the whole system well-thought-out measures to mislead the enemy.

Having experienced the full wrath of Stalin in the first days of the terrible failures at the fronts, Timoshenko Semyon Konstantinovich asked to be directed to the most dangerous area. Subsequently, the marshal commanded strategic directions and fronts. Under his command, heavy defensive battles took place on the territory of Belarus in July - August 1941. His name is associated with the heroic defense of Mogilev and Gomel, counterattacks near Vitebsk and Bobruisk. Under the leadership of Tymoshenko, the largest and most stubborn battle of the first months of the war unfolded - Smolensk. In July 1941, Western troops under the command of Marshal Timoshenko stopped the advance of Army Group Center.

Troops under the command of a marshal Ivan Khristoforovich Bagramyan actively participated in the defeat of the Germans - fascist troops on the Kursk Bulge, in the Belarusian, Baltic, East Prussian and other operations and in the capture of the Konigsberg fortress.

During the Great Patriotic War Vasily Ivanovich Chuikov commanded the 62nd (8th Guards) Army, which is forever inscribed in the chronicle of the heroic defense of the city of Stalingrad. Army commander Chuikov introduced a new tactics - tactics close combat. In Berlin, V.I. Chuikov was called: “General - Sturm”. After the victory in Stalingrad, the following operations were successfully carried out: Zaporozhye, crossing the Dnieper, Nikopol, Odessa, Lublin, crossing the Vistula, Poznan Citadel, Küstrin Fortress, Berlin, etc.

The youngest commander of the fronts of the Great Patriotic War was an army general Ivan Danilovich Chernyakhovsky. Chernyakhovsky’s troops took part in the liberation of Voronezh, Kursk, Zhitomir, Vitebsk, Orsha, Vilnius, Kaunas, and other cities, distinguished themselves in the battles for Kyiv, Minsk, were among the first to reach the border with Nazi Germany, and then defeated the Nazis in East Prussia.

During the Great Patriotic War Kirill Afanasyevich Meretskov commanded the troops of the northern directions. In 1941, Meretskov inflicted the first serious defeat of the war on the troops of Field Marshal Leeb near Tikhvin. On January 18, 1943, the troops of generals Govorov and Meretskov, delivering a counter strike near Shlisselburg (Operation Iskra), broke the blockade of Leningrad. In June 1944, under their command, Marshal K. Mannerheim was defeated in Karelia. In October 1944, Meretskov's troops defeated the enemy in the Arctic near Pechenga (Petsamo). In the spring of 1945, the “cunning Yaroslavets” (as Stalin called him) under the name of “General Maksimov” was sent to Far East. In August-September 1945, his troops took part in the defeat of the Kwantung Army, breaking into Manchuria from Primorye and liberating areas of China and Korea.

Thus, during the Great Patriotic War, many remarkable leadership qualities were revealed among our military leaders, which made it possible to ensure the superiority of their military art over the military art of the Nazis.
