His career from the soldier to the chief commander was not an easy journey. Inevitably this was the hardest route to earn the highest rank in military. His contribution in the Khalkh River battle in 1939 was the significant one for the Mongolians.
During the Khalkh River battle led by the Feklenko, 57th squad commander, Russian soldiers were defeated number of times facing losses. At that time Stalin ordered Zhukov to lead the battle.
At the arrival Zhukov led 57th squad to the victory over the Japanese army and has become the reason that we are to celebrate the 76th anniversary of the Khalkh River Battle Win.
Zhukov Monument has been erected to commemorate his deeds and is located in the 4th khoroo of Bayanzurkh District. Interestengly enough, the monument by S.Dorjpalam has become the first ever monument dedicated to Zhukov.
Moreover, the monument is one of the survived ones after the fall of the Soviet regime. Russians have erected Zhukov monument only in 1995 at the Manejnaya Square in view of the 50th anniversary of the Great Patriotic War.
