In Ishim, the Soviet commander was confused with a famous film actor. Photo

A portrait of the artist, director and screenwriter Vladimir Menshov in the image of Marshal Georgy Zhukov appeared in the Ishim military registration and enlistment office of the Tyumen region. This was reported by the “Ishim pere Podslushano” community on the VKontakte social network.

“The character is very similar to the artist Vladimir Menshov. I looked for information on the Internet and indeed, this is a photographic reproduction of Pavel Korin’s painting “Portrait of Marshal G. K. Zhukov,” which depicts our famous artist,” the message says.

It is known that Vladimir Menshov played the role of a Soviet marshal in the film “Liquidation”. URA.RU sent a request to the military commissariat of the Tyumen region, a response is expected at the time of publication.
