ZHUKOV

Part 8

Thank you, comrades.

Good bye!

What happened?

Nothing special. We need to talk.

Let's go then.

I didn’t want to say it
in front of the girls.

And also…

…in front of everybody.

Well, Zhora, I was not searching,
I just stumbled upon...

Well, even if I was searching...

I am sorry.

You've lived here for three years.
I come, I go, and suddenly I see...

A photo gallery.

So I am looking and thinking...

You've been with her from the day one?

Well, I don't want it anymore.

- I have my pride.
- Sit down.

Thanks.

Or rather the remains...

...of this pride.

- Unfortunately, you killed the rest.
- Hello!

You can even say now
that you have nothing with her.

But it is true!
She is a doctor, a physician.

- It's all your fantasies.
- Of course! My fantasies.

You are 54! I am...

I can't live like that.

- If you can't then you can't.
- I am tired

- tired of finding these.
- I see.

- Everything! Everywhere!
- What can I say? No is no.

It means, you cast me out.

I didn't say it, right?
That's what you say.

I am not casting you out. That's one.
Two, I am not divorcing you.

Everything I have in life
is my family. You and the girls.

But in some way you are right.
We have to keep apart for a while.

- We are apart anyway.
- Listen, what do you want? Tell me.

Well, if this is serious...
And I see that it is.

- I see it in her eyes.
- Whose eyes?

Her eyes. I see that.

I know how you make women fall in love.

I've seen it many times.

Anyway...

Zhora, I need guarantees.

- What guarantees?
- I...

I should keep something for my old age.
And the girls too.

- Oh! You should have started from this.
- I need a place to live and…

The girls also have to live.

Okay. So we break up
but we marry before that.

Is it a comedy?

It may be a comedy for you.
For me it's a tragedy.

You need guarantees? You'll get them.

You are right. I won't last forever.

You all will really
need a place to live.

- That's all?
- We have to get married.

- That's all?
- Officially, yes?

- We will.
- Yes.

- That’s it?
- Yes. I gotta go. The girls are waiting.

I won't tell them now.
I'll tell them in Moscow.

And I'll try to preserve your image
of a loving father.

I'll find the right words.

Let's go.

Mom!

Mom!

Dad said at the station
that he’d come to Moscow soon.

Will he come soon?

Mom, he comes to the convention.

Mom, I asked dad about the doctor.

He said that he'd have
another doctor in Moscow.

It’s gonna be fine.

I think that our dad
doesn't need any doctors.

He looks great. He’s healthy.

Hello! Lidiya!

I was just passing by and then...

I've been waiting for you here
for a while.

We need to talk.

Let's go.

We've not seen each other
for how many years?

Almost three years.

That's right.

That's what I wanted to say.

Georgy and I haven’t been…

…living together in a long time.

Practically.

And it is not a life anyway. You know…

We live in a sin.

- I am sorry, I am not interested.
- I see.

Please hear me out. I…

I know I look really stupid now.

You are alone. You miss him.

Pack your belongings
and go to Sverdlovsk.

Are you crazy, Alexandra Dievna?

No.

I am dead.

You found out about his new affair?
About this young doctor?

That's why you came to me?

So you know?

You saw her?

Did you talk to her?

About what?

Tell me! Did you?

Moscow, the Kremlin, the fifth of October.

Oh!

It just started.

T he best members of Lenin-Stalin Party
came to the Kremlin Palace.

They are the delegates
of the 19th Party Convention.

Lidochka…

Could you make some tea?

Lida…

Lida, what’s wrong?

- Why does it hurt so much?
- Where?

Where does it hurt?

Lida!

Get it, you all!

For everything!

- Please, Galina Alexandrovna.
- Oh!

Come on in.

This is for you.

Thank you.

Maybe we put it there?

Sure.

Or is it better...

- Thank you.
- I should have taken you

to a restaurant but...

Every man and his dog know me here,
so please help yourself.

I didn't offend you by that?

- No, Georgy Konstantinovich.
- Galya...

Don't be so formal.

I asked you.

Not so formal, okay?

Just call me

Georgy.

Please.

Well...

Sit down.

Thank you.

Let's drink. Just a drop.

You can't drink.

- I have a doctor right here. A drop.
- Even a drop, Georgy.

I am 54 years old, Galya.
I am not young.

Throughout this time,
I've become attached to you.

I was waiting, I was getting to know you.

You see what's going on.
We're essentially separated with my wife.

The kids have grown.

I don't even know
how to live without you now.

You see what I am talking about?

Yes.

Yes, I see.

I am an army man.
I don't master courting and fancy talk.

Stay here. Live with me.

I have to think.

Well, what's there to think about?
I just...

- I am just thinking about your health.
- We'll think together.

Did you decide? Move in.

We decided.

I'll move in.

Well...

Let's drink.

No, let's drink cognac then.
I'll do it.

Yes.

But no more, please.

Come on.

You know, let's...

Let's drink to you, to...

To your beauty, your mind,
to you just being you.

Why are you smiling? Yes, I am happy.

Really happy.

Me too.

Please help me.

- Well…
- I am hungry.

Oh! Of course!

Yes… Just a second.

Jus a second…

Some blini?

In the end of February 1953,
Stalin suddenly called Zhukov.

Come to Moscow, I need you here.

Till today nobody knows
what the leader meant by that.

It seems that Stalin had some premonition.

On March 1, 1953, at Kuntsevo Dacha,

Stalin had a stroke.

His death was long and painful.
He lasted for another four days.

Joseph Stalin's heart stopped beating
on March 5, 1953, at 9:50 PM.

But even before the announcement
was made to the nation,

at the extraordinary meeting
of the Central Committee,

the Cabinet Council
and the Supreme Soviet Presidium,

the cohorts started to divide the power
that fell upon them.

That's what was decided.

Georgy Malenkov became
a Chairman of the Cabinet,

Lavrentiy Beria
was the Minister of Interior

and a head of integrated MGB
and Internal Affairs offices.

There was almost no doubt
that in a few months

Beria would become Stalin' successor.

For the first time after Dzerzhinsky,
he headed all security services

and secured himself
the best starting position

before the final leap to the power.

How do you feel in Moscow?

- You came recently?
- Nikita Sergeyevich,

I am just looking around.

People tell me, you need an apartment.

- Let me give you a ride.
- Thanks! My car is waiting there.

Let's take a walk then.
It won't take long.

For now.

I heard right? About the apartment,
Georgy Konstantinovich?

Quite right, Nikita Sergeyevich.
Others heard it, too.

I don't care about the others.
I have my own view.

About this apartment.
First, it was a year ago.

Second, I said it in private
to the Commander of Support.

Oh! And the Commander is a friend of mine.

And a friend of my friend
is my friend, right?

Georgy, really! It will be our pleasure!

Helping our Marshal of Victory! Of course!

Our ladies' charmer, our famous commander.
Sure thing, we'll give you an apartment.

Maybe I'd better ask
the Ministry of Defense?

Frankly speaking, I didn't come
to talk about your housing, Georgy.

We gotta drink to the memory of Joseph.
He was a great man.

Really! Can you make it?
Drop by just for a second.

Come to my dacha .
We'll drink to his memory. Agree?

I need to think about it,
Nikita Sergeyevich.

Really! Drop by just for a second.
Just come. Agreed?

Alright, Nikita Sergeyevich.
Let's do this.

And what happened eventually?
Did he go to Nikita?

He refused.

Next day he called me.
He said, his wife was unwell.

You can't take Zhukov like that.

Who is this Nikita Khrushchev? A servant.

He just licked Stalin all over
and kept a low profile.

I have so much on this Nikita.

He killed a lot of people at Ukraine.
He shouldn't dare to open his mouth.

Bring me the next record.

Wait!

- Let me help you.
- So high!

- Can you sew a coat like this?
- We don't have this fabric.

Look at this.
A new fashion magazine from Paris.

Hello.

- This coat, right?
- Right.

This dress.

- This one, and this.
- You've got an eye! These are the best.

It is a bit expensive,
Georgy Konstantinovich.

And if she comes to the Kremlin in this...

The wives will just kill me.

That's okay. They'll revive you later.
She has to be the best in Moscow.

Georgy Konstantinovich...

- Maybe we don't have to do it?
- We have to.

We do.

Why not? Let me see you in a light.

We'll make it a bit shorter here, right?
- Okay.

- And from this side too. Okay?
- Yes, sure.

- Great. And then it's gonna be...
- Just fine.

Yes. We're gonna be just fine.

I used to make fur coats.

- Really?
- Yes.

The great warlord was a furrier.
Please try the evening gown.

- I studied seven years.
- Please.

- Larisa, do you work with the fur?
- No! God forbid!

I wouldn’t wish it to my enemy!
You cut it out, too?

I did. And then I sold it at a shop.
You know what the hardest thing was?

Delivering to a customer. To their home.

Especially to a she-customer.

Oh, Georgy Konstantinovich! That's the end
of our Marshal.

Bending a knee to a woman.
I don't recognize you!

- You are crazy about her, right?
- Can one not be, looking at her?

It is glorious!

You may go.

The last recorded conversation
of Zhukov and Stalin.

Turn it on, Ivan.

Comrade Zhukov, I think that you
accomplished the Party assignments.

W e invited you to the Central Committee

because of your achievements
in the Ural Army District.

These four years were good for you.
What do you think?

I totally agree, comrade Stalin.

As a military officer and
as an economic executive,

I've had a very useful experience
of seeing peripheral districts

- and trying to improve things.
- I like your enthusiasm, comrade Zhukov.

We can't meet just yet.
I am a bit unwell.

Take some rest now.
I'll call you over in a few days.

We are going to do some great things.

- Good bye!
- Good bye, comrade Stalin. Thank you.

Lavrentiy Pavlovich!

What…

- You've been wiring comrade Stalin too?
- Don't be stupid. It's from Zhukov.

Sit down, Vanya.

As you can see, Stalin wanted to give him
a new job. Which one? What do you think?

- The Minister of Defense, I think.
- You think right.

- Who is this Bulganin?
- Right.

He drinks.

He's gonna booze away
the soldier rations shortly.

That’s right.

Why did I call you here?
What do you think?

To ask me to talk to Zhukov?

You are very quick.
I'm even afraid to sit next to you.

You are as sharp as Lenin.

Zhukov doesn't stand me.

And after this story with Zakharova,
he's not so much into you either.

So what do we do?

Lavrentiy, we do have to talk to him.

If we don't press him in, Nikita will.

- And then…
- Yes.

- Zhukov is number one in the army.
- That's right.

He's been that and that he'll be.

And the Ural exile only took him higher.

- Come on! When we were in Berlin...
- Vanya!

Listen to me!

Zhukov is not just dangerous.
He is very dangerous.

You see, he is a bright kind
of a Russian bear.

- You saw a bear at the circus?
- Hm-m.

They feed and train it for ten years,
it rides a bike,

it is all fuzzy, it makes children laugh.

On the eleventh year,
they remove the muzzle

and it it tears them all into pieces.

It's a proven fact.

A bear doesn't forgive its offenders.

Sooner or later a bear shows them all.

- You get it?
- I do, Lavrentiy Pavlovich, I do.

- Have an ear to the ground.
- I get it alright.

Okay, I'll go now.

You know, one thing disturbs me.

Why did Nikita start talking to him
in the car?

He knows we are listening.

- What do you think?
- He feels strong.

That's obvious that they gather
behind my back.

No, it's something else.

He's giving us a signal.

He's teasing us.
Listen, Lavrentiy, that's for you.

Nikita…

Kolobok .

Please.

Where are we?

My friends got an apartment here.
Impressive, right?

- It’s beautiful. Let’s go.
- Wow!

Not bad at all.

- Wait in the car.
- Yes!

Very good.

Very good.

Where are your friends?

They fixed it quite well.

A phone! Look, there are no chairs
but there is a phone.

It works.

Hello there!

Whose place is it, Georgy Konstantinovich?

- Close your eyes.
- Why?

Honey, please do.

And now... open your eyes.

This is your place.
Here's the warrant.

The key.

They'll bring the furniture now.

What are you doing? Why?
I don't deserve it.

You don't deserve it?

You saved me from the death.

By loving me,
you filled my life with meaning.

You don’t deserve it...

Wait.

You and me…

You and me will live here?

We gotta celebrate.

You'll celebrate without me.

Why?

Why without you?

I have to go.

We talked about this.
For now, I live...

...with my wife and the kids. For now.

But what…

- What will I do here without you?
- You’ll wait.

We talked about this too.
Don’t cry now. We…

We don’t start our life with tears.
I swore to you.

You'll be the one who will close my eyes.

Comrade Marshal! Can I come in?
The Captain of Intendancy Gorshkov!

Bring it in.

- Bring it in!
- That's it.

You'll figure out what to eat.
They'll bring it all.

I’ll call you in the evening.

- I'll be waiting.
- Stop!

Bring it in!

Put it here.

Here.

Over there.

March out!

- You see, Anastas…
- Yeah.

Beria pays no regard to anyone even now.

Give him a couple of months
to show himself,

he'll start firing us.

- And if he'll be with Zhukov and Serov...
- Come on!

- Cut it off!
- Come on what?

Come on!

- Cut it off.
- They know it's not for long.

At soon as Beria gains the power,
he'll replace them all.

- He'll find the convenient ones.
- That's what we need to tell them.

Straightforward.

There are so many new people.
All of them are on great terms with Beria.

They know it’s dangerous and unstable
but they’re afraid to speak.

But you and me, Anastas,
we've nothing left to be afraid of.

We’ll be the first
to catch the bullet. What?

You know that.

Yes, I do.

- But we have to start from Malenkov.
- Malenkov is almost ours.

I spoke to him already.
He's got what to lose.

- And what to gain.
- You spoke to him? Already?

- He's the best friend of Beria.
- Really? And what about me?

Am I not the most loyal friend?

He calls Malenkov a weak-willed Mary.

He calls me a village dirty-neck
and Stalin's arse-sucker behind my back.

- Girls! Dad is here!
- Dad?

- Daddy!
- Hi.

Daddy!

My daddy!

Daddy, where were you?

- We’ve been waiting so long!
- Who’s boasting first?

I can say that I am doing fine, as usual.

I submitted a paper on international law.

- But our Ella is quite bubble-headed.
- You couldn't hold it? Thanks a lot!

- You are welcome!
- Are you getting prepared for college?

I am, dad, but there is this old trout,
an English teacher...

- She angry with me and…
- I see.

The kid's learning to create
and overcome the obstacles.

- Zhora! Look how beautiful!
- Indeed. Where's your mom?

- At the porch.
- Give it to me.

This is...

…for you.

- Thanks!
- And this…

- And this is for mom.
- Yes.

- What is it, dad?
- Unwrap it, look and tell us.

- Okay.
- Right?

- Mom, dad brought us presents.
- There is one for you, too!

Hi there, comrades!
We came with the presents.

Hi, Shura!

Hi. Thank you.

Mom, let's go and see what dad brought us.

Mom, let's go! You were sitting here
for hours! Let's go!

Hi there, Ivan Alexandrovich.

What wind brings you here?

Hello to you, Georgy Konstantinovich.

- I have a serious talk.
- What talk?

- I told you everything by the phone.
- It's not personal.

- Thank you.
- You are welcome.

- It's an urgent business.
- What business can I have with you?

Georgy, listen.

I came to ask you.

A personal request.

From Lavrentiy.

Well…

Very good.

When do we have maneuvers?

- On 27th?
- 29th.

29th.

I spoke to Zhukov.

He sent Artemiev to Kalinin.
Let this friend of Beria rule there.

So I am not just sitting idly...

…Anastas.

Did you speak to Voroshilov
and Kaganovich?

- I did.
- And?

All good.

Kantemirovskaya and Tamanskaya divisions
are getting ready for fire practice.

Right?

There’s a crisis in Germany, right?

He'll definitely go to East Germany
to solve it

and meanwhile
we'll make our maneuvers here.

What kind of minister is he? One minister.
He's a drunkard.

And the army's disintegrating.

That's what you gotta do.

Talk to the district commanders,
win their support.

- And then… But don’t force it, be smooth.
- I guess you don’t just think out loud.

- Who's got those interesting ideas?
- I guess you know who.

To be honest, I totally agree with him.
We have to stop this mess.

Look at the world around us!
We're facing the 3d World War

they surrounded us, and we just sit...

The USSR without the army. Ridiculous!

You were not this brave
and politically aware

- when you both pushed me to Mozhaisk...
- Georgy!

You know and understand
better than anyone.

Back then, we all did only one thing.
We caught each breath from Stalin. Each!

He bent and molded us all as he wished.

72 people from my circle were arrested.
And what people!

As far as I understand,

technically, Lavrentiy Pavlovich
doesn't have the authority.

Today everything can change at any moment.

Thank you.

Everything can change at any moment.

Today one can...

...replace all the door plates in a day,
from the generals to the Bureau.

Say, I am the Minister of Defense.
And you?

You are doing just fine. The first deputy
of the Minister of Interior. Not enough?

What about me?

I am in today, I am out tomorrow.

- There are different options with me.
- The options…

You’re like tarantulas in a jar.

You destroyed the army. You degraded it.

Look how the people live
while you fight for your portfolios!

What's going on in the districts!
It's a shame how those heroes live!

- That's what we gotta talk about.
- About what? Who gets which post?

Everything's gotta be changed!

It's been ten years after the war,
and the officers still live in the tents!

So many people are arrested!
What, he will take my advice on this?

- Hi!
- Good day!

He will, Georgy, and how.

He needs trusty people now.

And the trusty ones are just you and me.

So I am trusty now.

Who else?

As far as I understand, Khrushchev
and Malenkov are not trusty.

- That's right.
- It's gonna be a big purge.

It's the times.
The situation is complicated.

Georgy, you were almost hit by this hammer

but it only touched your hair.

Thank Lavrentiy and myself.

Listen... Maybe I should thank you

for Lida as well?

You took my child away. A son.

- Don't forget that.
- Georgy...

You…

Please forgive me.

Forgive me if you can.

But now, in this new situation,
you can demand anything from him.

He’ll accept any your conditions,
trust me. The generals, the…

He is extremely interested in you.
Very much.

But if you’ll make demands,
make them appropriate.

- He decides what’s appropriate now?
- Who else?

Think! Who else? Malenkov, Khrushchev,
Bulganin? Who?

He holds them like that!

- We are ready to see you anytime.
- Misha!

You’ll bury us under you strawberry soon.

Why? I am a retired man now.
With these market prices,

I'll be making more money than you
soon enough.

Guys! I set up a table in the gazebo.
Let’s have a quick one, as usual?

Ivan Alexandrovich can't stay.

It’s a pity. What about us?

- Sure thing.
- Gotcha.

I hope we'll see each other more,
Mikhail Mikhailovich.

- See you. Good bye. Come along.
- Good bye!

See you!

I'll call you tonight.

- What?
- Nothing good.

A fire in the time of flood.
Listen, maybe it's better for me

to grow strawberry?

It's more steady job.
And healthier too. But no.

Okay, brother, tell me
what's going on here.

Well, Shura won’t stop crying.
And hoping.

But you see that I don’t break up
with her. I live here, I sleep here.

- Yes, sure.
- Okay.

I brought here one guy from Sverdlovsk
with his fellows.

- Find them a place in a bath-house.
- Okay.

Shura knows them.

- Misha.
- Vanya.

- Well, Misha and Vanya...
- Nice to meet you.

…get busy. Give him a shovel.
Look at this Hercules.

Let’s go.

- Thank you, daddy!
- Does it fit?

- It fits perfectly!
- I could've become a good furrier!

Today it’s called a fashion designer.

If I had a sewing machine,
I'd sew you so many dresses!

You can’t even imagine.
I’d do it beautifully.

As for Zhukov…

I have one loyal Leninist.

Just one.

He’s a smart fox.

Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev.

- Brezhnev?
- Yes.

But he's quite a plain fellow.

- Is he... No?
- No.

Lenya is a reckless guy.

And a loyal one.
He won't wag his tongue.

I met him in Ukraine.

Beria is angry with him,
and he just has no choice.

So he'll be our scout.

- Did you like it?
- Oh, his voice is just fantastic.

He wanted to be in the army.
I took him out of Sverdlovsk.

Really? Georgy Konstantinovich,
let me remind you.

I am Leonid Brezhnev.

Yes, right. Doesn't he sing great?
We've met at the 19th convention?

Vikyulya, can you imagine?
We've stumbled upon Zhukov!

- This is my wife, Viktoria.
- How are you?

- Galina.
- Vika.

Please sit.

Georgy Konstantinovich, I finished the war
in Czechoslovakia as a Major General.

I took part in the parade at Red Square
in 1945. I saw you riding the white horse.

It was unforgettable.

- And you, comrade Brezhnev…
- Yes.

In which branch did you serve?

Political Administration. The first deputy
in the Southern Front.

- I see.
- And then I worked in Ukraine

under comrade Khrushchev.

- Let's go backstage? - Yeah.

- You’ll go?
- Can we? We came to Moscow just recently.

- We didn’t meet the bohema.
- Who’s the bohema?

He's a very young boy.
So talented. He needs support.

- This is...
- If he could study abroad.

We can do this. Are his forms okay?

Wait.

The forms?
- Yes.

Quite okay. He's Siberian,
from the sailor's family, so...

On your right. That way.

Here.

Boris Timofeevich, call me in a week,
okay? I'll talk to the Culture Department.

Thank you, Leonid Ilyich.
Thank you, Georgy Konstantinovich.

I have to sing in Sverdlovsk.
I was just accepted.

Sure, sing in Sverdlovsk.
But you have to grow anyway.

Heh! The Kirovsky Theatre,
Leningrad.

- Is it really possible?
- You know why it is possible?

Because a request from my friend
is an order for me.

See you!

Thank you.

- Good bye!
- Georgy Konstantinovich, we need to talk.

I was sent by
Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev.

Georgy Konstantinovich, the situation
is tough and intense.

I personally don't care about the clothes
but my daughter...

Her name is Galya too
and she's as young as you are.

She'd be interested.
Can you give me the address?

That's Georgy Konstantinovich.
I don't know where it is.

You are not from Moscow.

Oh no! I've been here
just for a couple of months.

We come from the periphery too.
Starting to settle up here.

It is his order. Comrade Marshal!

Three years.

I am from Sverdlovsk.

Get in the car.

- What about you?
- We'll walk. It's not far.

Good bye! All the best!

- How it went?
- I'll tell you later. Let's go.
