Georgy "From time to time, the tree of communism must be littered with the blood of Russians" Zhukov
"If a leg goes lame, it must be removed, if a kidney fails, it must be cut out. The body does not live for the individual organs, sometimes, for the body to survive, parts of it must be lost. Through the most noble sacrifice of untold millions upon of millions of frontovniki that are cut down by enfilading machine gun fire or wholly annihilated by artillery ordnance, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics will prevail!"
~ Georgy Zhukov
watching world at war, seems like next to hitlers incompetence, this dude and russia beat the nazis almost singlehandedly.
Georgy "I must unite Russia under one grave!" Zhukov

Georgy "Send every slav(e) to the grave" Zhukov

iirc the idea behind this was that a minefields purpose is to slow down an attack by forcing the attackers to clear the mines, in which case mine clearers would take losses from MGs and mortars.
Soviets instead decided 'fuck that lmao' and push through the minefield anyway (sometimes after hitting it with artillery to detonate some of the mines) to say fuck you to the germans and not get slowed down since they'd take losses anyway
He got a medal for each million russians he killed.
Georgy "Russians aren't people, fuck off" Zhukov
