Background Info:

Although many people cannot even name a WWII Soviet General, Marshall Zhukov, "Hero of the Union" was the Patton, Rommel and Montgomery of the Soviets. Zhukov was responsible in part for the defense of Moscow, and for the sacking of Berlin, to name two.

He took the fewest of the overwhelming Soviet casualties, and accomplished the most heroic victories by Stalins standards.

His tactics were unique and defined the Russian stereotypical strategist. However, many Historians of WWII, and some of Zhukovs' comrades, claim him a weak leader, and his strategies poor, or not his own.

Today, three general standpoints on Zhukov are around. The during-WWII Soviet Opnion, that he was a hero and a genius, the during-WWII Allied opinio nthat he was a typical loyal Soviet commander (although Eisenhower commended him) and the modern opinion that he was probably not so great a military mind, and was glorified, although he did have a FEW accomplishments.

What do you think?

I recall in the 1980's when Margaret Thatcher was in government and at that time "Great Britain" was the vernacular. Since the mid 1990's the term Uk has now become the vernacular. Both terms may have existed legally and simultaneously but the UK has now become the vernacular. Why so?
