Machine translation of Russian sucks :\ Russian is in any way difficult to translate to English, but I'll try:

Rise up, a country mighty
Rise up, to mortal fight
Against the nazi power black
Against the cursed horde

Refrain
Let the noble rage
Boil like a wave
Here comes the people's war
The Holy War

Let no dark wings
Fly above the Motherland
Let no enemy trample
On fields her wide

Refrain
Let's give a repulse to the oppresors
Of all burning ideas
To the tyrants, to the violators
Reapers of the people

Refrain

The rotten nazi scum
Will get bullet in their head
For the rubbish of humanity
A strong grave we will build

 The more correct version. I believe

Zhukov, that's simple. Because he's the winner and he's the one who captured Berlin and did it with lower casualties than the enemy (which is almost impossible to make). End of story.

As you have probably all ready read, the Red Army will most likely be heavily dependant on defences.

Defences? o_O This is anti-historic, because the lack of any defences is the reason why Red Army was so badly pushed away in 1941. Soviet Union pushed all his money in attack weapons, not some pimpy fortifications. Also only when the Red Army turned into attack rather than defense they were fighting in less casualties than Germans (see Battle of Berlin and Operation Bagration).
 
 Really the Red Army was weak in defense (especially in 1941), it shown itself in attack much better.

IMHO
