Sergey Zhukovskiy was born in 1918.

He took part in the Soviet-Finnish Winter War in 1939-40 flying I-153s but didn’t make any claims in this conflict.

In June 1941, Zchukovskiy belonged to the 127 IAP of the 11 SmAD.

On 22 June 1941, he flew nine missions in the Grodno area and was involved in combat in all of them. He claimed one victory during the day, while flying the Polikarpov I-153.

The 127 IAP made claims for 20 enemy planes on 180 sorties on the first day of the German invasion. In fact, German losses had been quite low that day, amounting to perhaps a tenth of the total Soviet claims, the general chaos and heat of combat leading to some disproportionate overclaiming.

On 8 July 1941, he was awarded the Order of the Red Banner.

In December 1941, he was posted to 440 IAP, which was equipped with LaGG-3s.

The LaGG-3s from 440 IAP were in combat with Bf 109s over Stalingrad on 31 July and two of these were claimed Zhukovskiy and Nikolay Abramshvili, who claimed one each.

He left 440 IAP in October 1942, being posted to 13 IAP. This unit was equipped with La-5s.

Zhukovskiy and Nikolay Pletnev claimed a Bf 109 together with a third pilot over Balka Yablochnaya on 30 November 1942.

Four La-5s from 13 IAP claimed one Bf 109 over Novo-Maksimovka on 10 December 1942. Two of the pilots were Zhukovskiy and Sergey Petukhov.

On 25 August 1943, 13 IAP became 111 GIAP.

In March-April 1944, he served in 41 GIAP (La-5s) before being posted to 40 GIAP (La-5s).

He was posted to 88 GIAP (La-5s) in June 1944 and remained with this unit until March 1945 when he was posted to 8 GIAD.

Zhukovskiy ended the war with 1 biplane victory and a total of 8.
These were claimed during more than 500 combat missions.
He is reported to have claimed 10 shared victories but only 5 of these have been possible to verify.

Zhukovskiy died on 10 November 1980.
