He attended a demonstration of tanks crossing the Dnieper River, then discussed with Soviet generals the fate of Defense Minister Marshal Georgy Zhukov. (Zhukov was suspected of plotting to seize power, and, before forcing a decorated World War II general to resign, my father and his colleagues enlisted the support of other high-ranking generals, who all agreed with Khrushchev’s plan.)
当天早些时候，我的父亲在乌克兰基辅参加军事活动。他视察了穿越第聂伯河的坦克列队，然后与苏联将军们讨论了国防部长朱可夫元帅的命运。(朱可夫被怀疑策划夺权，而且我父亲和他的同事们在迫使战功卓著的二战元帅辞职之前，获得了其他高级将领的支持，他们都同意赫鲁晓夫的计划。)
