The Soviet Union once developed into a powerful superpower, but because they have not established a complete power supervision system and rules for the replacement of rights, the decision-making level within the Soviet Union has always been very unstable, and the wars caused by the struggle for rights have also occurred one after another.
On June 11, 1957, when the Presidium of the Central Committee of the CPSU was meeting, the seven members of the Presidium of the Central Committee of soviet workers, represented by Malenkov, suddenly announced the resignation of Khrushchev, who was the leader of the Soviet Union at that time. In the face of the sudden compulsion of the palace, Khrushchev naturally disagreed, but at that time, more than half of the votes of the presidium were on his side.
While he made his attitude clear to everyone, he was thinking about how to reverse this bad situation. Later, he believed that such a decision should not only be discussed among the members of the Presidium, but should also convene a plenary session of the Central Committee of the CPSU, so that the number of people involved in the decision-making would be greatly increased, and naturally the rights of the members of the Presidium could be diluted.
But officially because the entire members of the CPSU Central Committee are numerous and all are distributed in various parts of the SOVIET Union, it is really not an easy task to gather them in a short period of time. Fortunately, Khrushchev at that time had zhukov's strong support, and Zhukov used his prestige in the army to directly call a train to quickly transport the delegates distributed throughout the Soviet Union, and finally helped Khrushchev get out of trouble.
Later, Khrushchev also expelled all those who forced him to pass through the palace at that time from the central decision-making level of the Soviet Union. But events like these have been repeated in the Soviet Union since Stalin's death, and a large number of high-ranking members of the Soviet Central Committee have lost their lives.
Zhukov, who was so powerful in the Soviet Union, experienced various changes, although his official position was like riding a roller coaster, but he also lived to the age of 78 safely, and finally died of illness. Why, then, was Zhukov able to survive a time when the power struggle in the Soviet Union was so intense? What magic weapon did he rely on to save his life?
To say that the magic weapon may really exist, and in the whole Soviet Union only Zhukov has! But this thing was also a double-edged sword, he saved Zhukov from losing his life due to power turmoil, but it also allowed Zhukov not to be trusted by any high-level figure in the Soviet Union.
What the hell is this thing? "Military merit", once Stalin, after the end of World War II, when he wanted to abolish Zhukov's post, gave the reason: "not modest, too arrogant, and credited himself for the decisive role of all the major victories won during the war." Although this sentence expresses Stalin's dissatisfaction with Zhukov and is a rebuke to him, we can also find Zhukov's military achievements in wartime.
The military merits that the Soviet people admired, in the Soviet army, everyone most believed in military merit, which also made Zhukov have a very high prestige in the Soviet army. How much prestige is his? For example, after Stalin's death, Beria and Khrushchev fought for power, when Beria was not only the number two person in the Soviet Union, but also mastered a secret intelligence organization, all of which could be said to be far superior to Khrushchev, but did not expect that after Zhukov chose to support Khrushchev, Beria would soon collapse.
