Terrible general

In reality Zhukov was a terrible general who lied about his role in World War II, and only won because of Lend Lease from the West. In any democracy he would have been fired for deliberately sacrificing so many of his own troops. (2A00:23C4:6384:600:3C90:B6A8:3E9A:4A23 (talk) 11:36, 15 August 2017 (UTC))[reply]

Really? Where on earth did you heard that? I myself come from that Soviet Union thing, and heard nothing of this kind. Maybe I am not as westernized as you are? As for the second sentence of yours, maybe. But, keep in mind if he would have come to power in the US under Truman (and some people after him wanted to come (but non did)) he would have been no better then Augusto Pinochet.--Biografer (talk) 03:10, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There has been a widespread reassessment of Zhukov's supposedly great leadership since the end of the Cold War. He was undeniably a war criminal who caused the deaths of millions of Red Army soldiers. (Defence1 (talk) 13:02, 17 March 2019 (UTC))[reply]

Standard English usage

I propose the adoption of UK English as the prefered usage in this article. Can we get a consensus? Any comments? Roger 8 Roger (talk) 18:36, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I would say no to it. Rewording every sentence in the article is rather time consuming and obscure.--Biografer (talk) 04:37, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
