This is Lieutenant Colonel Stanislav Petrov.

You might never have heard of him, but you might just be alive because of him.

A warning system mistakenly reported the US's launch of ballistic missiles in 1983, which prompted the USSR to prepare for a counterstrike and almost resulted in nuclear war. Petrov was the person who remained calm and recognized that the system had malfunctioned, subsequently alerting his superiors and saving millions or even billions of lives.

He passed away in 2017, at the age of 77. May he rest in peace, and may we never forget him as the human being that saved millions of souls.

Спасибо, товарищ Петров. Пусть земля тебе будет пухом. Мы тебя никогда не забудем.
