One of the russian\Soviet legendary heroes Zhukov (Zhukov): childhood)

Zhukov

First, childhood

The Russian Empire straddled the Eurasian continent and was militarily powerful, having long played the role of "European gendarme". But under the rule of the Tsar, the people of the Russian Empire suffered from the double oppression of the Tsar and the nobility, and the people were not happy.

In the mid-19th century, many European countries completed the Industrial Revolution and the bourgeois revolution, which further highlighted the quagmire of the Russian Empire, and the serf revolt was like wildfire. Forced by the situation, Alexander II launched a top-down abolitionist campaign in 1861, and the empire survived. Because the reform is very incomplete, the vast number of peasants still have difficulties in survival.

In 1894, Alexander II's son Alexander III died, Nicholas II succeeded to the throne, as the last monarch of the empire, Nicholas invaded the outside world, suppressed internally, and the peasants were more burdened and their lives were difficult.

Two years after Nicholas II ascended the throne, Zhukov was born on December 2, 1896 in the village of Strelkovka, Kaluga Governorate, southwest of Moscow.

The father, Konstantin Andreevich Zhukov, was born at the age of three months and was still at the door of the orphanage by his birth mother, a shoemaker. Her mother was Ustinia Artemyevna, and her mother's strong body was inherited from her unusually strong maternal grandfather Artyom, who was able to pull the horse down. Father named Zhukov Georgi Konstantinovich Zhukov.

In his early years, the tenacity, optimism, fraternity, and mutual help of his neighbors had a profound impact on Zhukov's character development. At the age of 7, his father began to make Zhukov participate in labor like an adult. At the age of 8, Zhukov entered the church primary school (the local central school) in the village of Wiliczykovo, where he met his best friend Leshka Klotel (Leshka did not do well in school, but was born with a good voice) and his gentle teacher, Sergei Nikolaevich.

During his childhood, Zhukov became friends with prohorts at the teahouse, the sharpshooter, and Zhukov later devoted his life to hunting.

In 1906, when Zhukov graduated from elementary school at the age of 10, his mother made him a new shirt and his father made him a pair of leather boots.

In 1908, Zhukov was 12 years old. His father took him to find an uncle, Mikhail, and the graduation award he received in three years of primary school was praised, and Zhukov officially bid farewell to the happiness of family life, ended his childhood life, and began his apprenticeship life in Moscow.
