I recently watched the Death of Stalin. I know that it’s a comedy, but I’ve heard that it portrays the events surrounding his death pretty well. In it, General Zhukov was brusque but seemed to have a good sense of humor. How realistic was this portrayal? If it wasn’t realistic, what was he really like? And finally, how good of a General was Zhukov? I understand that he had a hand in defeating the Nazis on the eastern front, but was that from his own skill or was it from the Nazis blundering?
