Georgy Zhukov

Georgy Zhukov is the leader of the Soviet Government of Krasnoyarsk.

History
Grand Marshal Georgy Zhukov was born on December 1st 1896 to a peasant family in Western Russia. He spent the early parts of his life rising through the ranks of the Imperial and then Red Armies, quickly becoming a leading Soviet Tactician by the late 1930s. During the Great Patriotic War, Zhukov would find himself tasked with ultimately unsuccessful defense of Moscow, famously remarking: "I can hold the damn city! I could hold the entire damn nation if I only had the power!". After the fall of Moscow, Zhukov would again be tasked with the defense of Arkhangelsk, only to be forced out by a German blockade. Zhukov quickly found himself out of favor with the Soviet Government and in a dangerous position.

When Lavrentiy Beria began his purges upon taking the Premiership, Zhukov joined those who fled to Siberia with Zhdanov and formed the Novosibirsk government. He, along with Nikolai Voznesensky and Nikita Krushchev formed a Troika, ruling the state from behind the scenes. However, the Stalinist Orientation of Zhdanov's government continued to drive Zhukov away from the central government, and he once again took his supporters and fled to Kransnoyarsk, beyond the reach of Beria or Zhdanov. Now he bides his time, building his forces, waiting for the time to reclaim the Motherland and punish those who have harmed her.

Political Ideology
A staunch militarist through and through as well as being no friend of the NKVD; he created his own ideology: Zhukovism, a combination of typical Nationalism and Communism, striving to combine socialist economics and radical patriotism. Military expansion is seen as necessary means to protect the people and values of socialism.

His pragmatic rule has made him far more accepting of groups wanted dead by Beria, such as the Plurinational Commitee and Vasily Zaitsev's Traditionalist Socialists.
