Which Marshal's glory did Malenkov suppress?
Marshal Mikhail Tukhachevsky
Marshal Ivan Konev
Marshal Vasily Chuikov
Marshal Georgy Zhukov
Answer
Marshal Georgy Zhukov, a decorated Soviet military leader, faced suppression of his fame and achievements under Georgy Malenkov's leadership. Malenkov, who succeeded Joseph Stalin as the Soviet Premier in 1953, sought to consolidate his power and downplay the prominence of Zhukov, who was highly revered for his victories during World War II. This deliberate attempt to diminish Zhukov's contributions aimed to establish Malenkov's own authority within the Soviet leadership.
