Žukov — Il maresciallo che vinse la guerra e che Stalin volle far sparire

Georgy Zhukov, the Marshal of Victory. A boy born into the depths of peasant poverty, raised in a furrier's shop, who from the muddy paths of a remote village rose to command armies of millions and welcome the surrender of the defeated enemy. In this documentary, we retrace the entire trajectory of one of the most controversial leaders of the twentieth century, from his difficult childhood to the two Crosses of St. George in the First World War, from the victory at Khalkhin Gol to the desperate defense of the capital, from the turning point of the war to the final triumph and the famous parade on the white horse. But this is also the story of a man who twice experienced fall and oblivion, betrayed by those he had saved, and who endured humiliation without ever bowing his head. A ten-part portrait that intertwines the great military history with the most intimate and hidden dimension of the character: the legendary toughness that inspired icy terror in his own generals, along with the secret tenderness revealed only in his letters and in his final years of isolation. A rigorous and well-documented account, designed for those who love history told with seriousness and depth. The most controversial issues, from the human toll of victories to responsibility for the initial catastrophe, are presented in a balanced manner, taking into account the different interpretations of scholars, without hasty judgments or taking sides. A journey into the life of a man who won the most terrible of wars and lost everything twice, and who ultimately returned to what he was at the beginning: a patient craftsman, with a needle between his fingers.
