🗿 Monument
The bronze figure was unveiled on May 8, 1995, for the 50th anniversary of Victory. The site of the Military Academy of Aerospace Defense was once occupied by a cavalry school where the young Zhukov served during the Civil War. The sculptors Ekaterina Glebova and Vladimir Vinnichenko created the monument. The bronze statue of the marshal was cast in St. Petersburg, and the pedestal was made in Vyborg.
On January 18, 1943, Zhukov became the first general to be awarded the rank of Marshal of the Soviet Union during the Great Patriotic War. He received the Order of Suvorov, 1st Class, No. 1. By 1945 Zhukov was the only marshal to have been named Hero of the Soviet Union three times. The marshal crowned the Great Patriotic War with the massive Berlin operation. On May 8, 1945, in Berlin, he accepted the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany, and on June 5, 1945, he received the highest US military order from General Eisenhower. Fun Facts On the territory of the former USSR there are 50 monuments to G. K. Zhukov, including busts and memorial plaques.
