The man who saved the world has died 4 months ago and nobody even knew about it
 

Stanislav Petrov has died on May 2017, and we learned about it only by chance from his German buddy. So sad the heroes die like that... in obscurity - no single world in Russian media :(



RIP

Seems like he was just doing his job.
Since when not taking wrong decision is something extraordinary?
Ps: not meant as disrespect to the guy who did a perfect assessment of the situation.

You didn't get it. He has taken a wrong decision. He broke the instruction. Read "The Dead Hand: The Untold Story of the Cold War Arms Race and Its Dangerous Legacy" by David Hoffman and you won't post stupid comments anymore.

P.S. Just imagine, if there was somebody else on duty instead of him, you were dead by now.

No, he made a right decision to assess that it was not the attack, but system malfunction.
But yeah, in terms of not roboticaly following instructions you can say "wrong" robotical action (I can not even say a decision in this context as it would be no decision, just robotical response according to instructions).

His work was not for saved the world))

Funny, history about to repeat itself but the other way around, since both Dems and Reps have recntly agreed almost 100 % to declare more sanctions on Russia....but this time there will NOT be Petrov available...
