    These are the places that must be on your walking route when traveling to Moscow. A region where history and lighting make your night a dream. What I appreciate most in Russia is the respect people have for each other and the cleanliness of the area. A place you must come to..

    One of the interesting things to see at Manezhnaya Square is the Monument to Marshal Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov which is situated directing in front of the beautiful State Historical Museum. This is a bronze equestrian statue created by Russian sculptor Vyacheslav Mikhailovich Klykov and erected at this location in 1995 as part of the 50 year anniversary of the victory of the Great Patriotic War. Here you see Zhukov in military attire, highly decorated with medals. He is standing upward in his saddle and appears to be surveying a battlefield while his horse walks forward. The statue is atop a typical granite pedestal. For those who enjoy viewing statues and monuments, this is worth spending a few minutes to view as you make your way through Manezhnaya Square before or after visits to the many attractions at the Red Square or nearby Alexandrovky Garden and Kremlin.

    Marshal Zhukov Monument in Moscow Visited on 5/10/2019 The equestrian statue depicts the Soviet military leader Marshal Georgy Zhukov is located in front of the State History Museum of Moscow, in the Manezhmaya Square. The bronze statue is mounted on a massive granite pedestal. The total weight of the monument reaches 100 tons. It was erected on 8 May 1995, on the 50th anniversary of the Victory of the Great Patriotic War. Born into a peasant family, Zhukov was conscripted into a cavalry regiment to fight in World War 1. His youth, poor background and exemplary military record made him a poster boy for the new Red Army, and later took part in the revolution which toppled the Tsar’s regime. Zhukov was a brilliant military leader, and was considered as the most successful Russian general in World War II. Zhukov effectively led the attack on Berlin in April/May 1945. He successfully defended Moscow, by driving the Germans out of central Russia.

    Monument of Marshal Zhukov in front of the State History Museum. Zhukov was Marshal of the Soviet Union and one of the most famous military leaders of any country during the Second World War.

    The most famous Russian general. He was a master of strategy and also a master of dealing with Stalin who was notoriously difficult! After Stalin's death, Zhukov criticised him for being careless with the lives of Soviet soldiers. Often, Zhukov would tell Stalin when an offensive would be ready to start eg with enough fuel, food, ammunition, units in position and rested etc. Stalin would then order him to start days earlier leading to heavy losses.

    The surroundings are picturesque. It is a gateway to Red Square and Kremlin. The place is illuminated during the night and looks dazzling. Perfect place to hang out casually with friends. Four seasons hotel, mall, metro station is nearby.

    Loved the place. Even more beautiful at night! The lighting were amazing. If you are taking a taxi, ask the driver to drop you at either the Ritz Carlton Hotel or the Four Season Hotel which is just walking distance from one of the main entrances.
