Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov, former lieutenant colonel of the Soviet Air Defense Forces, a pity that at BR24 could not at least mention his name, mainly a former spy and former teacher of the peace movement, but just not the name of the man who saved us. To him we owe that he reacted prudently in the right moment and despite false alarm, did not press the red button. In an interview he once said that it seemed strange to him and he could not imagine that the USA would attack the Soviet Union with only 5 missiles. Probably many owe him their lives today, because many would not have been born today if he had not acted correctly.
