After further reading, I know he was a vigilante working alone for his own form of popular justice (cleaning even corruption within officials). The High Judges then abducted him through their secret police, the Operators, and against all odds gave him a job, convincing him of their "Great Plan" to clean up Tyvia. One scene also mentions the judges telling Zhukov what to do during a huge ceremony where he wears some kind of official decoration. So yeah, it's possible he was given the rank for his cover as soon as he started working for them.
