STALIN's Marshals Survivor - KONEV is the survivor !

[big bad fab]

This survivor is focused only on marshals of the Soviet Union (there were also ranks of Marshals and Supreme Marshals...) and only on those appointed by Stalin, because those nominated after aren't known enough (even if Yazov, Ogarkov, Admiral Gorshkov, etc, may ring some bells for some forumers).

I really hope you don't do a Brezhnev Marshall's survivors....

It would be with fine photos, though...

But my first aim was to make a Soviet marshals survivor. When I remembered all the boring ones, I kept only the period when there were real soldiers (and funny political lackeys... like Budienny)

BTW, under Brezhnev, the rules were clear:
some posts gave you automatically the rank of marshal, among them the chief of staff of the Warsaw Pact and the commander of Soviet forces in East Germany. Quite interesting, I think.

I knew I shouldn't  vote for Bulganin.
But, well, my next 2, Shaposhnikov and Rokossovsky, are 2 real soldiers.
I thought Bulganin should go first, as a fake marshal.

I try again:
Bulganin

I think the scene is clear now for real fights, as the remaining ones are, at least, quite good soldiers, even if evil ones.

Arch-Stalinist Shaposhnikov

[big bad fab]

Shaposhnikov was a great soldier and I'm relucant to vote him out now.

So Yegorov.

Fine, some suspense !
And you've got a very good idea: he is also on my to-do list with Roko.
