Biography
Early Life
Zhukov was born to a poor family in Strelkovka and had only 3 years of education.
Military career in the Russian Empire
Zhukovs career in the military started when he was conscripted into the Russian Army in 1915 to fight in World War 1. He was promoted to an officer and got multiple medals like the Cross of Saint George.
Bolshevik Revolution
During the Russian Civil War, Zhukov joined the Soviet Cavalry and quickly rose in the Ranks to become a General in 1939. He was a very important and glorified Military leader in the USSR.
World War 2 and the West Russian War
During WW2, Zhukov fought hard, however he could not stop the German Wehrmacht's Advance. After WW2, the Red Army united to form the West Russian Revolutionary Front, in which Zhukov was and still is a Field Marshal. Zhukov also led the WRRF's Army into Ukraine during Operation Susurov. However. the Front collapsed due to internal struggles, with only a minor change in the German - Russian Border.
After the West Russian War
After the WRW, Zhukov was one of the few to stay loyal to the WRRF and then got promoted to leader of the Ukhta Military District (Now deleted as a nation, but its now in the WRRF as an autonomous Region).
After West Russian Unification
After Zhukov unifies West Russia, there will be a struggle between the Social Democrats, Communists and Socialist. If you favor one, the others will not revolt against you, so no need to worry.
Trivia
In OTL, Zhukov was instrumental in the defeat of the Third Reich, having participated in the planning and execution of the war's major battles on the Eastern Front. This includes the Battle of Moscow, Rzhev, the defence of Stalingrad, the relief of Leningrad, and famously the Battle of Berlin.
Chosen by the Soviet Administration to personally accept the German Instrument of Surrender in Berlin, Zhukov would become the first commander of the Soviet Occupation Zone in Germany. After the war, Zhukov would be sidelined by Stalin, through his reassignment to the Odessa Military District, and then to the Urals. He would be recalled to Msocow in 1953, just as Stalin suffered his fatal stroke.
After Krushchev's rise to Premier of the Soviet Union, Zhukov would rise to become Defence Minister of the Soviet Union. It was in this post that Zhukov demanded that the political agencies in the Red Army report to him before the Party, he also demanded an official condemnation of Stalin's crimes during the Great Purge, supporting the political vindication and rehabilitation of Mikhail Tukhachevsky, Grigoriy Shtern, Vasily Blyukher, Alexander Yegorov and many others of his colleagues that were executed in the Great Purge.
His second fall from the Party was more sudden and public even than his first. On 4 October 1957, he left on an official visit to Yugoslavia, and Albania. He returned to Moscow on 26 October, straight to a meeting of the Presidium, during which he was removed from that body. On 2 November, the Central Committee convened to hear Zhukov being accused of 'non-party behaviour', conducting an 'adventurist foreign policy', and sponsoring his own personality cult.
He was expelled from the Central Committee and sent into forced retirement at age 62. The same issue of the Krasnaya Zvezda that announced Zhukov's return also reported that he had been relieved of his duties. Subsequently he stayed away from politics, instead writing his memoirs and indulging in his hobbies of fishing, having been sent fishing tackle by his American counterpart, General Dwight D. Einsenhower.
Zhukov was famous for having been awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union 4 times and the Order of Victory twice, and countless other decorations through his long career in the Red Army.
