Nikolai Nikolaevich Zhukov

Nikolai Nikolaevich Zhukov (Russian: Николай Николаевич Жуков), a prominent Soviet graphic artist and illustrator, left a lasting mark on the world of visual arts with his distinctive style and thematic diversity. Born on December 2, 1908, in Moscow, Zhukov's early life was immersed in the rich cultural heritage of Russia, shaping his artistic endeavors from a young age. His education at the Nizhny Novgorod Art and Industrial College and the A.P. Bogolyubov Saratov Art College provided him with a solid foundation in the arts, leading to a prolific career that spanned several decades​​.

Zhukov's contributions to Soviet art are multifaceted, encompassing book illustrations, posters, and active participation in the Great Patriotic War as a war correspondent for Pravda. His role as the artistic director of the Studio of Military Artists named after M.B. Grekov underscored his commitment to depicting the Soviet people's resilience and heroism. Among his notable works are front-line posters such as "Defend Moscow!" and "They will not pass!", as well as illustrations for "The Tale of a Real Man" by Boris Polevoi​.

Zhukov's artistic legacy is preserved through awards such as the People's Artist of the USSR (1963), the Stalin State Prize (1943, 1951), and the Order of Lenin (1967). His works continue to inspire and are celebrated in exhibitions and collections both in Russia and internationally. The establishment of the house-museum in Yelets in 1992 further commemorates his contributions to art and culture​​.
