After Civil War Georgiy Zhukov continued service in the cavalry. In 1924 - 1925 it learned in the cavalry advance courses of executive body. Constantine Rokossovskiy, who was being occupied with it in one group, recalled: "Zhukov, as no one, returned to the study of military science. Let us glance into his room - all, it creeps along the map, decomposed on the floor. Already then the matter, debt for it were above in all ". In 1929-1930 Zhukov again learned - now in the advance courses of the highest overbearing composition, and then he became the commander of cavalry brigade. During March 1933 it headed the 4th cavalry division; in 1936 was obtained the Order of Lenin for the successes of division in the combat training. In 1937 Zhukov accepted the 3rd cavalry housing. In autumn the same years of corps commander (corps commander) they attempted to accuse of the connections with former commanding Belorussian region Geronimo Uborevichem and other “enemies of people”. Zhukov reasonably objected, that on the kind of service it could not but contact with the commander of region. As a result during January 1938 the matter limited to party pronunciation “for roughness, for the clamp of self-criticism, the underestimation of political work and insufficient fight with fraud”. Pronunciation did not prevent career. In connection with the mass repressions many vacancies were freed, and the surviving commanders rapidly moved on the official stairs - frequently in order to soon also become the victims of terror. But Zhukov passed cup this. Helped the fact that he commanded the division of the 1st horse army. Commanders -konarme1qy traditionally used the patronage of the druggie of Clement Voroshilov’s defense. Already into iyuney9e8 g. Zhukov became the deputy of the commander of Belorussian military district on the cavalry. At the dignity into vsyumoshch’ unrolled his talent of military leader and clever educator of troops. During May 1940 they appropriated the title of General of the Army to Zhukov. Brilliant victory for Georgiy Constantinovich had deep personal value. It showed, on that was capable volitional chief when since 1937 the combat efficiency of the Red Army yearly, was monthly and daily undermined by mass repressions. On the pointer Of i.V.Stalina and its apprentices tens of thousands of commanders were destroyed, into the prisons, they were wearied in the camps. Itself Of g.K.Zhukov hardly not bollard by the victim of violence - in 1937 in Smolensk it, after perceiving the impending threat of arrest, went to the terrible risk - it sent into Moscow to Stalin and Voroshilov terrible telegram. They were added differently in those years of the fate of people, but Zhukov left at rest. Entire summer and the autumn of 1940 Zhukov constantly was situated in the troops, went the stressed studies under the conditions, approximating combat. The commander of region was exacting to himself and by others - teach what actually will be required in war. In the Soviet general staff the possible versions of war in the case of the attack of Germany has already been discussed. At the end of December 1940 beginnings of January 1941 in Moscow passed the conference of the high command of the Red Army. Its work followed I.V.Stalin. Those being present were struck by depth and courage of suzhdeniyZhukova, presented in its report the “nature of contemporary offensive operations”. He with entire seriousness emphasized: before face of the strongest army of the West it is not possible to lose minute, it is necessary to be for the ready to fully armed meet its fierce pressure. Next day Stalin called Zhukov and reported: The Politbureau decided to appoint yegonachal’nikom of General Staff. The general of modern war Zhukov assigned the first place for the swift actions of the tank and mechanized connections, which have powerful support from air. Not immediately and was not suddenly he succeeded in convincing of the correctness of its point of view of Stalin. On the slope of years Zhukov much reflected about the events of eve and beginning of great and terrible war. "certainly, on us - servicemen, said Zhukov, lies responsibility for the fact that we insufficiently required bringing army into full combat readiness and fastest adoption of the necessary measures. Obviously, we had to this make more decisively than they did… Certainly, it was necessary to actually visualize that it meant then to go despite Stalin in the evaluation of all-political situation, in all in the memory still there were the recently past years; and to state aloud that Stalin is unjust, that he makes mistakes, simply speaking, it could then mean that without having yet left the building, you already will go to drink coffee to Beria. And nevertheless this only one side of truth. Aya it must say entire. 4 he did not feel then. Before the war, that 4 grow wiser and it is more foresighted than Stalin, which 4 is better to egootsenivayu situation and more it I know… ".
