- Zhukov's Chief of Staff is played by Leeroy Murray. He's an Army General, you know.

2 Imperial Russian, 38 Soviet, and 26 foreign medals.
The man is a walking tank.
He's the huge penis in the locker-room ...
Imagine the weight of his jacket with full military honours... Man was basically doing weightlifting in it)))
Pretty sure all those medals made him literally and figuratively bulletproof.
@@F1zzler Imagine how much stronger he must have been without them, though, like Goku or Piccolo.
@@Argumemnon or Rock Lee)
zhukov actually had more medals but they reduced the amount he wore in this movie because the thought people might think they were taking the piss
no way
He was the hardcore metalist indeed...
Zhukov's one weakness is a superconductor
@@aarongoldstein8472 yep that’s true
Yeah, those days in the USSR they gave a medal even for farting in the west direction
"Shoot him. Nah I'm just fucking around."
@deepstateflatmoonlizardcultist I remember seeing it in theatres, did they remove it?
@deepstateflatmoonlizardcultist First time seeing that scene. XD
Best part as well is that it is the Minister of Defense, Bulganin, who is the one who who Zhukovs tell them to shoot.
@@Baurles yup making him technically Zhukovs boss lol
@Tdecenso79 Armando Ianucci
I love how everything was going to shit till Zhukov showed up and he just punched everyone into submission
Some men are the calm center of a hurricane, he is/was one of them.
@@mr.robinson1982 if he had taken control I’d call him a hurricane too haha
@@mr.robinson1982 he was the hurricane
@@mr.robinson1982 people who have been on the front lines kinda have that about them.....

also people with ADD/ADHD..... strange enough
their is enough "input" to satisfy their (aka my) brain.... so it actually "chills" them out
they can focus, and usually start leading in a "tornado just hit town" type situation
@@kainhall I do believe this is true, while often times I find myself stumped or clueless in certain low pressure circumstances, I find myself with a clear head in high pressure circumstances
I think having the actors just talk like themselves was brilliant.
Even more brilliant, for me is that Jason Isaacs put on that Yorkshire accent. He's from Liverpool originally and quite well spoken. But that accent he puts on for Zhukov is just perfect!
@@saippuakivikuappias 🤣
It also somewhat makes sense, characters that were natively Russian were given British accents, while characters that were Ukrainian had American accents, it also lined up with their upbringings, Zhukov had a Yorkshire accent because Yorkshire is apparently 85% rural and it lines up with Zhukov being born to a peasant family in a rural town named Strelkovka (modern day name: Zhukov)
@@nietzschealfelor6211 Well I never. Thanks for the mini history lesson 👍
Yeah, it would have been so much more jarring to hear fake Russian accents. Feels much more natural this way.
I still love how the medals on his chest are inaccurate, it's missing like half of them
As I remember,(from the other channel that tell about things, facts or details in every famous movie)he said that it would be too comedic if they do the actual amout of medals Zhukov has(have?).
@@leopardpta9269 no need to apologise mate, it was perfectly understandable
@@soph1823 Oh ok.
I also heard that because the chest size of the actor wasn't big enough to fit every medal
@@leopardpta9269 and he totally earned and deserve every one of them, unlike in most authoritarian countries
Zhukov is my favorite Soviet, guy retired and spent his days fishing, using the tackles Eisenhower sent him
Another reason Khrushchev never entirely trusted him.
He also loved American soda.
@@StrikeRaptor1000 And Eisenhower respected him so much that he asked Coca-Cola to make a clear version so that Zhukov could drink it without being accused of indulging in American capitalist luxuries (he said it was vodka).
Hard to hate another fisherman.
Imagine if Zhukov opted to enter politics and became Stalin's successor. Eisenhower and Zhukov, both ruling the West and East. Maybe we could've avoided the Cold War.
Zhukov taking off his coat; best moment in the whole movie
One of the best moments in Cinema History! It's legendary.
I managed to watch this movie having learned a lot about Zhukov but not realizing he'd be in the movie and I think I did like girly excitement screaming at that entrance
Zhukov taking off his coat with 2 AK-47, best moment in the whole movie
That and the "shoot him, only joking"
What movie is that?
fun fact about Zhukov, he was a teetotaler, and abhorred alcohol; but he found a love for Coca-Cola at the end of WWII; and one of the first American Army officers he met in Germany happened to also be an executive with the company. It was quickly arranged that as a secret gift to Zhukov from the United States, Zhukov would receive regular shipments, with no caramel coloring, and less carbonation, in discrete bottles, in order to make them look as much like vodka as possible. He was never found out, and drank coke until his death. Later Coca-Cola added more citrus flavoring and carbonation to Zhukov recipe, and released "Coca-Cola Clear."
Don't be some anonimous us army officer, was their personal friend the five star general eisenhower the ones who send him the coke
So Sprite?
@@MasonGreenWeed Coke flavored soda water
Amazing story. German boxer Max Schmeling ended up working for the Coca-Cola company after the war. Never a Nazi, Max was still expected by Hitler to prevail as a champ for his country. When Max lost to Joe Louis, Hitler assigned him to the airborne, but Max ended up suffering from anxiety related problems and was relieve of combat duty.
Hope it's true
"I'm off to represent the entire red army at the buffet, you girls enjoy yourselves." Lmao, love that!
This film's Zhukov and the Great Santini would have gotten along great.
generals should stay in safe place
my man zhukovs is a hungry boi
There are layers upon that one joke that historians can analyze
В стиле англосаксонской пьяни .
I love that in this climate of fear where the men in charge are all terrified for their lives, Zhukov didn't give a shit, just wanted a fight and came out clean at the end
Not so much, "The Great Cornholio" Khrushchev, being afraid of Zhukov's popularity, forced him into an early retirement soon after these events. It must be noted that said popularity was heavily inflated by propaganda because he was given credit for some if not most of the victories won by other commanders such as Rokossovsky, Vasilevski and Konev - in an attempt to create a single face-figure for the push against the nazies. An endeavor in which they succeeded so much, that even some of the modern historians are so delusional that they call him "the marshal of victory" and pretty much attribute said victory to him and him only. Sad reality is that he was a butcher and not only known for his "human wave" tactics but also killed tens of thousands of army personnel and civilians in the Totskoye nuclear exercise - pretty much for the lulz, just to study how quickly people die from nuclear poisoning. Josef Mengele is a layman comparing to Zhukov in that regard. It pains me to see how thanks to this movie uneducated people star struck by Jason's performance think that the real man was even remotely similar to this performance.
@@Badchi source on that casualty number?
@@Badchi lol human wave tactics....he was the man who invented deep battle in Manchuria
@@MrGhjkl63 Up to 40k dead by radiation poisoning, god knows how many more indirectly from long term effects. Literally on russian wikipedia.
@@Badchi You say yourself, Zukov was both venerated and expurgated by the party depending on who was in power so there will be multiple sources both with bias against and for him.
And yet you go on to say that history was revised overwhelmingly in his favour? How the hell then did the Khrushchev and Stalin exile him from power if there was only a single narrative about him and why do you think modern historians wouldn't be able to derive this fact?

This film is a masterpiece.
It could have been him being executed
I love this line 😂
Beria was a scummy piece of shit, i'd feel the same way.
This garbage film are using English sentences & expression.
@@willy.asyrafNo kidding. It’s almost as if the film is shot in English. They made the actors use their natural accents to show the regional Russian accents without butchering them via a poxy Russian impression, and it works beautifully. The film is hilarious!
A film about Zhukov starring Jason Isaacs would be amazing.
But you would also need to bring back Zhukov's Chief of Staff.
@@UnlistedThoughts Maybe a guest appearance of the man made mostly of hair since he's really the man behind the scenes pulling the strings.
@@UnlistedThoughts A guy named Leonid Brezhnev. Never amounted to much, eh?
Yes, please
A film about the greatest general in the history? I doubt who hollywood do that
I want a Khrushchev sequel so badly, Steve Buscemi was so good in the role and Khrushchev was an interesting individual, more westerners should be educated about his successes, failures, and most of all strange and absurd personality
well, this comedy isn't quite about educating anybody...
A sequel would be wonderful.
Do the Cuban missile crisis from the russo-cuban side
@@larurentius would be really good, you could have a Dr. Strangelove sort of movie about the inherent absurdity of nuclear war. Something tells me people now might get something out of it.
I wanna see a prequel about Zhukov winning the war.
1:36 i like the fact how Chief Marshall of Soviet Army (Zhukov) bullies Soviet minister of Defense (Bulganik) like it was nothing
well, isn't accirate at all: Bulganin was the part of plot from the very beginning, being totally disinitiative passive alcoholic by the way
Honestly fair Bulganin wasn't nearly as respected as Zhukov and he mostly got his job due to political connections not actual skill
@@lawsharland7278 yeaa man, the way he follows mikoyan anywhere he goes throughout the film does prove your point
One of the running jokes of the movie is that Bulganin, even being the Minister of Defense, doesn't know shit about what the Red Army or NKVD is up to
@@Ramboost007probably realistic

I love Paul Whitehouse's inane rambling at the burning corpse. 'Bloody hell, I'm knackered, it's been a busy old week'.
Killing people and never knowing if you're next is exhausting...
The suit doesn't really work without the belt...
If anyone deserved to suffer and die in that century, it was definitely Beria. Actually I find it quite interesting that Beria is seldom ever mentioned in Western media, which makes me curious why, because in a lot of ways he's on the same level with the same functions as Heinrich Himmler. He was also a rapist, known to give women he raped a bouquet of flowers after the fact, and if they refused having them and/or their families shot. "Shoot her in front of him first then shoot her" is very Beria. I don't know if him being Jewish changes the way our media likes to ignore this historical figure but basically he's the embodiment of the darkest impulses of the NKVD and the Soviet Empire at its absolute worst, probably had a hand in killings not even that far off from the Nazis themselves, and with an added bit of rape to such an extent even Stalin himself warned his daughter never to be around that man alone. Actually Beria really looks a lot like Himmler too, maybe with just a touch more Woody Allen.
Issacs is killing it as Zhukov even though he looks nothing like the shorter pudgier general.
im no historian, but i pretty sure they had differnt accents too, i could be wrong though :D
@@zeran147 That was actually a choice by the director who didn't want the audience taken out of the movie with bad Russian accents. I made my point because most of the other actors do bear a resemblance to their historical counter parts. One last thing, Zhukov didn't have a scar on his face either.
No one looks like the real person here
He's also not bald
@@SantomPh Khrushchev's actor looks like real beria and beria's looks like the real Khrushchev
The only Russian general who could stand up to and argue with Stalin and get away with it.
Voroshilov would be the other
@@johnbeauvais3159 the difference is that vorosilov is a stupid and incompetent general, in contrast to zhukov who is a genius general
@@Pancasilaist8752 As I understand it, Voroshilov was a poor tactical general but as a defensive and strategic planner he was actually quite adept
@@johnbeauvais3159 Defense is easier no supply lines at risk and you’d have home advantage
Well yeah. It would be beyond stupid to get rid of your very best general.
The medic joke right before he gets hit kills me everytime 🤣
It’s like he knows what’s going to happen when Zhukov arrives.
I hear the officers who walk with him actually wear several of his medals for him because his suit ran out of room.
1:36 oh god what a fantastic scene. Can you imagine being someone who spent years in Stalins inner circle living every minute of your life thinking you’re gonna get taken away or shot and all of a sudden the day after Stalin dies you’re about to take a relaxing piss or whatever he was going to do only to see a firing squad and the man’s who beat Nazi germany say “shoot him” fuck what a brilliant scene
Well, you wouldn’t need to piss anymore
"beat nazi germany" lmao not really though
@@quincyames2014 yeah really though
@@quincyames2014even after all the murican propaganda you ate you still gotta acknowledge that zhukov and res army beat the nazis
@@babauranai Red Army yeah but apparently they overstated Zhukov's contribution so they could give a face to the war effort or something
Zhurkov was badass. An expert military strategist, but knew how to not appear as a threat to Stalin, hence surviving Stalin's numerous purges.
He was a threat to Stalin, but Stalin couldnt do shit cause Zhukov was extremely popular
@@lennartmoritz942 Not to mention he was quite effective, and it would be a very big blow to the army, and a hole that would more than likely not be replaced well enough
he was too popular to be purged, so the only thing Stalin could to was to demote him and send him to Odessa
Staline had no reason at all to purge Joukov, he was a competent general and a loyal bolshevik
@@StykFo too competent and too much of a hero to challenge the leadership. that reason alone had had too many great general get the axe through out human history
I liked the little detail that he came in and shook the soldiers hands, a real man of the military.
Probably the only men in that room he truly respects.
Zhukov really is Gigachad incarnate. Survives Stalin despite having a lot of power and a great reputation and shows up and simply dgaf when everybody is afraid of what will happen next.
Sigma Law
1943: Accept nothing other than Unconditional surrender.
1944: Don't wait for air or artillery. Support yourself.
1945: Capitals are meant to be served on plates.
Stalin tried to bust him for keeping some war booty, got him assigned away from Moscow for a while. Then Stalin called him back.
In real life Beria was shot not by Zhukov, but by general Batitsky.
Batitsky was fan of Spartak Moscow football club, while Beria was patron of Dinamo Tbilisi (Georgia) FC.
Since then in Russia there is still a joke that Beria was shot by Spartak fans.
Would only be fair. Beria had most of the Spartak team arrested & jailed
for "trying to assassinate Stalin". Not because of Dinamo Tbilisi,
but for regularly beating Dynamo Moscow (The NKVD / KGB Team)
Zhukov doesn't shoot Beria in this film either, if you look carefully
@@funkyfranx Yes, I reconsidered the moment, I have to agree.
This is gruesome and hilarious at the same time.
*Beriya is doused in petrol*
*Lights a smoke and throws the match to burn him directly in front of gas vapours*

Why did she look at the passport and say Vienna?
@@cb2291 IRL they got rid of all of Stalin's children legitimate or otherwise. To much of a threat to have Stalins kids thinking they were important.
I seen a dude smoking a cigarette at the gas station like a f*ckin idiot right by the pump so I wasn't worried too much this guy was much further away
@@kingcobra7183 Well I mean in reality igniting gas vapours is quite tough, it boils off very slowly at room temperature, let alone in Moscow in winter, so there's not much risk of accidental ignition. Really the way you ignite it is by modifying the pressure, or raising the temperature of the petrol to near its boiling point and then igniting a spark.
Petrol doesn't really ignite by just pouring it on the ground and setting it alight. Nonetheless it is highly hazardous material and very unpredictable so you shouldn't have open flames near it anyway
Это бред, Берию не сожгли, а расстреляли
As a proud Yorkshire man the casting of making Zhukov a Yorkshire man is just genius
Isaacs said we are the bluntest people he's met.
00:11 you can't introduce a war hero in a better way
0:30 - I loved how nervous Beria got every time Zhukov confronted him. He knew there was no one else in the USSR who could threaten his plans the way the Marshal could. Isaacs was brilliant in this This movie was one magnificent scene after another of pure, gloriously satirical insanity.
Love how he called for a "Medic" the moment he saw Zhukov 😂
Fun fact: Before the events of the film, the NKVD had been renamed MGB, and the Red Army had been restructuralised and renamed the Soviet Army.
However the old names often kept currency, almost surprised he didn't call them Cheka.
Was it the Red Army before cause I know early on in the Soviet Union it was the Red Guard then had been restructuralised into the Red Army with the Commissars and a whole new officer core which comprised mostly of former White Army officers which was also one of the reasons Stalin did the purges.
@@adamisacomedian6344 when Red Army was composed it was intended to be a worldwide force of every worker and gather forces from Vladivostok until Lisbon, however the International Revolution did not happen and in the 40's the world was another one, plus while we had British Army, American Army, French Army, no Army was bound to the name of the USSR, so it made sense to rename it, althought many kept calling it "Red Army".
A lot of new officers were former white officers, however most of them were formed under the spirit of October Revolution. All the Marshals fought for the Red Army during the Civil War. Some generals who became marshals later were white officers, for example Govorov (I worked in a street with his name in Saint Petersburg).
Nkvd was worst n Gestapo. Beria was a lider and first opponent to Zhukov after Stalin death.
@@camaradacomissario9641 In 1976 it was still called the Red Army.
Marshal Zhukov is hilarious in every scene, but the one where he almost gets Bulganin shot almost seems like a blooper they just left in the film.
I couldn’t remember that one. I think it was a deleted scene.
@@fredrikhelland8194 I don't remember it either.
I love that everyone smiles around him when he takes off his coat.
My "favorite" episode is when marshal Zhukov (who brought German Nazi to their knees) is portraited as an exhibitionist in a porn movie.
2:11
Khrushchev: “…with the goal of forwarding the interests of foreign powers…”
Beria: Foreign… foreign powers… from where, the fucking moon?!
Beria was a monster, but this was funny.
They did an excellent job of making Beria funny, but also clearly an absolute monster. "Shoot her before him, but make sure he sees it" was another excellent line.
And that was before space travel.
shows exactly the kind of sham trials that Beria infamously conducted on millions of other people with his NKVD, got what he fucking deserved, a taste of his own medicine.
Lavrenty Beria was the kind of man who everyone was happy to learn was dead. The man was an absolute monster who even Stalin would have had killed, and probably tried to have him killed at least once, had he not been so useful when kept on a leash. Helped by the fact that Beria feared Stalin, so he largely behaved. Of course, if Beria made any moves on Stalin's daughter, they would still be finding pieces of him to this day after the man got done with him.
I loved this portrayal of Zhukov, he's such a badass.
Very accurate I’d say
My "favorite" episode is when marshal Zhukov (who brought German Nazi to their knees) is portraited as an exhibitionist in a porn movie.
You know Zhukov's Badass when Stalin is scared of him.
Nah stalin was scared of everyone, he is known for his paranoia which is also the reason for his purges
Literally needed him because Stalin needs the military. The military needs Zhukov. Stalin needs Zhukov.
@@Giganfan2k1 lol nah....if stalin would have purged Zhukov....there would have been another revolution...in the name of the Greatest Marshal of Soviet Union.. Marshal Georgy Zhukov....
Lol

My "favorite" episode is when marshal Zhukov (who brought Geran Nazi to their knees) is portraited as an exhibitionist in a porn movie.
1:49 that guard who held Zhukovs ak for him must have thought he got a promotion by doing so
It’d be akin to George Washington pulling up and handing you his musket. You’d be over the moon.
Jason Isaacs is a fucking treasure. Kills it in every role he plays.
Agreed! I have a question, it's not prejudice or any kind of politics, just mere curiosity judging by his name. Is he Jew?
@@camaradacomissario9641 Yea I think he is
Zhukov was amazingly lucky to have survived the Great Purge. Soviets soldiers and officers associated with the First Cavalry Army were protected from execution and imprisonment.
His later friendship with Dwight D. Eisenhower was also fascinating.
Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower
Zhukov also was perfectly happy with what he rose to and didn't have much in the way of further ambition. He was a soldier, first and foremost, and didn't seek civil office or rising up further into civil office.
1:00 The guy on the right behind Zhukov is smiling the whole time. Like he's thinking "I love when he gets like this!"
Damn him! Damn that man. Send the entire cavalry over the hill. It ends today. That chap is time traveler...
No Mel Gibson to spoil his victory this time!
this rustics almost take the glory of victory
almost
He and Beria fucked up the timeline. Beria becomes prime minister of Great Britain and Zhukov is about to fuck Nazi Germany again by feeding bad intel.
It's "Send the entire battalion over the hill and crush them. It end's today"
"Prepare to charge! ... charge!"
Love how he personally greeted and shook the hands of the two soldiers, before greeting anyone or doing anything else.
“Sad day, soldier”
*shakes hand*
“Sad day”
*shakes hand*
He held the respect and admiration of every soldier in the Red Army, that's what made him so powerful, and why Beria feared him.
0:46,
Dude preemptively called for a medic, he must have been beat up by Zhukov before...
“I’m going to represent the red army at the buffet.” 😂 Dude knew the FSB was a shit show running the red army and demanded control back on his forces.
It was the KGB, not FSB. FSB is from after the cold war.
@@Pietje_Piraat The FSB is the modern day KGB
It's actually the NKVD lol.
@@Jimbob7595 It’s still around Beria’s time, so yes. You are right
@@Jimbob7595 Historically speaking, it wasn't even called NKVD at this particular point in time, it had some other, shorter name. And before NKVD it was called Cheka. KGB has went through too damn many names changes.
Of course he was actually a Marshal of the Soviet Union, not a Field Marshall.
The word Marshall has too many meanings in English. Field Marshall it's a proper translation of the rank in this case
@@МихайлоЛитвиненко-б9х Well yes but no, it hink another example makes it clearer, just as in the US, Mexico, and many other countries the head of the state is the "Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces", that charge would be basically Zhukov's (until '45 with Stalin's rank of "Generalissimo of the Soviet Union")
@@patriciohe9273 Field Marshall is equal to 5 star general in the US army, which doesn't even exist these days. So I guess tho it sounds less powerful than the Marshal of the Soviet Union, it's pretty fitting.
@@stc2828 I gave an example more on the Mexican role side (that is a bit simpler) but yeah, I guess it would be like that, but also no because his charge is in regard of all Armed Forces (I'm not sure but I think the 5* Gral. Is only for the army)
@@patriciohe9273 Marshal of the Soviet Union did not represent the navy and was awarded to way more people than US 5 star general.
You know what is funnier? Though it seems so funny in the movie but actually historical quite accurate
The events are quite accurate but they clearly had minimal interest in casting actors who looked liked the actual people. This was a great group of actors who looked like they were having a lot of fun working together.
@@IntrospectorGeneral the accuracy could be better for looks, but this is based off a graphic novel.
There is license taken of course and they condensed a lot of things into a short time, but yes, overall this movie was far more faithful to real events than most films based on history.
@@IntrospectorGeneral
Except the actor who plays Nikolai Bulganin, he looks exactly like him.
Not really, no
Ah yes, Zhukov. The only other person Stalin was scared of.
beria played them against each other
basically played Stalin against Zhukov
Requests Medic
Literally Everybody: would get the medic
Zhukov: Proceeds to punch him in the stomach, Not Today
He gave the medic a reason to be there.
For anyone not gelling with the humor during the first 5 or so minutes, _PLEASE wait until Zhukov gets screentime._ He sends this movie into the goddamn STRATOSPHERE.
How bro felt after saying that 0:11
Pretty sure a single strong magnet will defeat him
2:14 still my favourite line of the entire movie.
I like how Bulganin and Berija are really similar to their real life counterpart while Zhukov and Kruschev are completely different
I bet Jason Isaacs never imagined that possibly his most memorable performance would be of a Russian General with a Yorkshire accent.
Isaacs absolutely nailed this role AND had the best lines of the movie. The writing was brilliant too. I like how he refers to everyone and everything as female (clever touch!).
I think most people still recognize his first as Lucius Malfoy
nice touch they used a Jerrycan to pour gas on Beria
Colt 1911 in that one dude's hand, too. Lend Lease is the good shit.
“Medic!” Before he even gets hit because he knows Zhukov is coming for blood lol
The best part about this is. . . That in an entire movie of satire. They didn't, even once over embellish Zhukov. . . The dude was literally this guy!!
I love it how Vasily yells medic before Zhukov even punches him.
It's interesting that in all the funny moments and scetches in the movie, some scenes, like quick "trial" and shooting of Beria, are very serious, nasty and somewhat terrifying. And this all makes it great movie.
Jason was literally the highlight of the movie 😎
“Just fucking about!”
Dude screaming Medic before he gets hit because he knows what's coming is fucking hilarious
dude is stalins spoiled son
@@VsevolodSidorenkoStalins sons weren't spoiled really
@@hannahdyson7129 he was spoiled.
Zhukov was born into a poverty-stricken peasant family of Russian ethnicity in Strelkovka, Maloyaroslavsky, Kaluga Governorate in western Russia. His father Konstantin, who had been orphaned at the age of two and then adopted by Anuska Zhukova, was a cobbler. His mother Ustin'ya was a peasant laborer. Thats a long way tot he top.

generals of such caliber dont go through metal detector
2:55 god damn I was howling, that "fuckin hell"🤣
My grandfather Volodia was a combatant in World War II during the German occupation. He always highlighted that Zukov was a very extrategist and unique man. The film portrayed him well, except for the comic relief.

Zhukov is my favorite character in this movie. There are too many good scenes with him to pick a favorite. Him punching Vasily one of the funniest in the entire movie.
0:35 "Perhaps this is good time to kiss my hand anymore."
I like how that guy called for a medic before being punched
0:11 thats one small ass healthbar for a final boss Mr.Zhukov
Guys I absolutely adore that song where Zhukov takes off his coat, but I have no idea what it’s called, help me
Field marshall Zhukov was my favorite character! " spit it out georgie, were staging a coup here"
Marshall Zhukov's orders: "Serve me Berlin on a plate!"
I swear Zhukov's character by far was the favorite in this movie. He had the best lines and Jason Isaacs killed it playing the character. Everytime he is in the scene he steals the show LOL
"Shoot him"
"Ah! Just fuckin about!"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💀
On the one hand, I love Zhukov, on the other, I think he‘s actually overrated vis a vis some of the other Red Army leaders, especially Vasilevsky and Rokossovski.
Like, was Zhukov actually the best military leader and strategist in that group? Or was just more more politically savvy and/or more popular with Stalin?
I personally think Rokossovsky may have been better but it doesn‘t really matter because even that‘s overshadowed by the massive distinction of being pretty much the last original Bolshevik in the Soviet High Command.
Zhukov isn't overrated lol. He had so many medals they had to remove some for the film so it didn't look comdedic. I think stalin want him deposed but he was a national hero so he couldn't. Defintely a great military stragestist that even poitics in the soviet union couldn't touch him.
@@paladinoestetica First of all, politics in the USSR could touch literally everyone. It‘s true that after Finland Stalin needed people who could fight but before that there was no amount of competence that guaranteed survival.
Secondly, having more medals is not actually evidence of being better. Those medals were awarded by politicians.
But I‘m asking about whether he was actually better than the other top Soviet Leaders. And you‘ve given exactly zero evidence why he should be considered better than, say, Rokossovski.
he got loads of medals from foreign nations
@@paladinoestetica this may be surprising to you but those are also awarded by politicians.
So you actually have no idea about Zhukov‘s battlefield performance vis a vis the best of his comrades and are just going by the medals. Lol
not all of his medals came from politicans. and if you read his wiki then it says why he got each of his medals. It is amazing how many words you take to say nothing.
Jason Isaacs loves every fucking second as Zhukov. Such a pleasure to watch
"I'm knackered it's been a busy old week", is either one of the better ad libs I've ever heard or brilliant writing.
This is so good, not because it features Zhukov, but just his chief of staff. Thank you for this gift
Love this movie- pretty inaccurate but still love it..Berea DID get shot but not for a while and he DID die pleading and crying
The two things I think the movie got right...
The general mood of the terror of the Stalin system; Berea did get killed.
This movie is brilliant. I don't think most Westerners can appreciate it. In some scenes they nailed it.
“I’m off to represent the entire Red Army at the buffet”
- one of the best lines in any film.
Jason Isaacs been in the British Army, the US Army and now the Russian Army.
Jason Issacs was the most bad ass Start Trek captain,,,it's no suprise to me that he nailed this role.
Janeway would like to argue otherwise
*zhukov’s medals jingle*
*my body realizes serotonin*
Zhukov is the only soviet figure who still has statues of him openly liked in Russia and some former soviet states
Let that sink in
yea good leadership recognize good leadership, one reason why stalin was a good man is cuz guys like zhukov respected him
@@MrNinjaone1”Stalin was a good man” bro maybe watch the movie
@@theexpierow8951 he was a strong leader most people sitting in his chair at the time would have lost everything, keep that in mind
@@MrNinjaone1 big difference between strong leader and good man. Of course, there have been historical figures that held up both ends of that, like Lee Kuan Yew
@@theexpierow8951 yea and obviously u are implying strong men are not good, as if weak men are not evil etc.. lol
The Best entrance ive ever seen
You know you're about to get fucked up when you scream "MEDIC!" before the first punch lands.
Zhukov was such a chad that Stalin wanted him dead but knew he couldn’t simply because the amount of people that loved him and he didn’t want to make a martyr and turn the military against himself.
Did you know? Despite holding position as the Marshal of the Soviet Union and the Minister of Defense, Georgy Zhukov was prohibited from boarding any ships of the Soviet Navy.
Because no ship could stay afloat with the weight of his balls.
