Suddenly, the alarms went off, warning that five intercontinental ballistic missiles had been launched from a base in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Petrov had just moments to decide what to do. If he followed protocol and alerted his superiors about the warning, they would likely fire retaliatory strikes. Cold War tensions were especially high at the time, and the exchange may have resulted in full-out world war.<\/p>\n<p>However, Petrov had a gut feeling that the alert was a false alarm. He chose to wait and see what happened. His decision would change the course of history \u2014\u00a0and make him known as \u201cthe man who saved the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>The Early Life And Military Career Of Stanislav Petrov<\/h2>\n<p>Born in Vladivostok in 1939, Stanislav Petrov was raised to follow in the footsteps of his father, who fought in World War II. He enlisted in the Soviet Air Defence Forces in the early 1970s, and he ultimately rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel. Petrov\u2019s roles included monitoring the new early warning system that detected ballistic missile attacks from enemy countries, including the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>During Petrov\u2019s time in the military, Cold War tensions rose to terrifying heights. In 1983, President Ronald Reagan had refused to freeze the arms race. The Soviet Union had been declared an \u201cevil empire,\u201d and its leader, Yuri Andropov, was constantly afraid of an attack by the Americans.<\/p>\n<p>Then, on Sept. 1, 1983, Soviet missiles shot down a civilian aircraft flying from Alaska to South Korea, killing all 269 people on board. The U.S.S.R. claimed that the plane was gathering intelligence, but it had simply strayed from its flight path due to a navigational error. The incident garnered harsh criticism from the rest of the world.<\/p>\n<p>Because of this, an enemy attack wouldn\u2019t have been a complete shock to the Soviets. However, when Stanislav Petrov saw an alert that five missiles were inbound to the U.S.S.R. just three weeks later, he hesitated.<\/p>\n<p>It was standard protocol to report these warnings to his superiors, who would then make a decision about whether or not to retaliate. Petrov had to quickly decide whether to follow commands and risk setting off an irreversible chain reaction.<\/p>\n<p>And so he decided.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pbh-lazy-inline pbh_inline\" data-loader=\"revLoader\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1751730454751-2\" data-google-query-id=\"CJXurfSIpo4DFSpEhAYdQ_YoBA\">\n<h2>The Fateful Decision Of \u2018The Man Who Saved The World\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>As sirens blared and the word \u201cLaunch\u201d flashed across the screen in front of him, Stanislav Petrov weighed his options. Outwardly, he was calm, but a battle was raging inside him.<\/p>\n<p>On one hand, the computers insisted that the reliability of the warning was at the highest level. There were more than two dozen security levels in place to prevent false alarms, and Petrov wasn\u2019t even sure it was possible for them all to fail.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe built the system to rule out all possibility of false alarms,\u201d he told\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/4947879\/stanislav-petrov-russia-nuclear-war-obituary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>TIME<\/em><\/a>\u00a0in 2015. \u201cAnd that day the satellites told us with the highest degree of certainty that these rockets were on the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_524139\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-524139 post-img-landscape\" src=\"https:\/\/allthatsinteresting.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/soviet-missile-base-room.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allthatsinteresting.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/soviet-missile-base-room.jpg 900w, https:\/\/allthatsinteresting.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/soviet-missile-base-room-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allthatsinteresting.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/soviet-missile-base-room-768x427.jpg 768w\" alt=\"Soviet Missile Control Room\" width=\"900\" height=\"500\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-524139\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-524139\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"credit\">Robert Wallis\/Getty Images<\/span><span class=\"caption-body\">The control room at a nuclear missile base outside of Moscow, similar to the base Petrov would have served in.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>However, Petrov also had a gut feeling that something was wrong. \u201cWhen people start a war, they don\u2019t start it with only five missiles,\u201d he told\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/archive\/politics\/1999\/02\/10\/i-had-a-funny-feeling-in-my-gut\/97fb4af6-2a54-4805-8ec0-115a13f33493\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>The Washington Post<\/em><\/a>\u00a0in 1999.<\/p>\n<p>So, Stanislav Petrov decided not to tell anyone else about the alert and instead reported it as a system malfunction. If he was wrong, the missiles would strike without warning, leaving an untold number of Soviets \u2014 and possibly even Petrov himself \u2014 dead. If he was right, he would prevent a potential nuclear armageddon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought the chances were 50-50 that the warnings were real,\u201d Petrov recalled to\u00a0<em>TIME<\/em>. \u201cBut I didn\u2019t want to be the one responsible for starting a third world war.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When 20 minutes passed and nothing happened, Petrov felt immense relief. He knew then that he had made the correct choice \u2014\u00a0but it was a choice that impacted the rest of his life.<\/p>\n<h2>The Aftermath Of Stanislav Petrov\u2019s Brave Decision<\/h2>\n<p>It was ultimately determined that the false alarm occurred when the warning system mistook sunlight reflecting off of clouds for engine exhaust from ballistic missiles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan you imagine?\u201d Petrov later told\u00a0<em>TIME<\/em>. \u201cIt was as though a child had been playing with a vanity mirror, throwing around the Sun\u2019s reflection. And by chance that blinding light landed right in the center of the system\u2019s eye.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the fact that Petrov had likely averted nuclear war, however, he wasn\u2019t awarded for his heroic actions. Instead, he was denied a promotion and reassigned. The officers investigating the incident chastised him for not properly logging every moment. When they asked Petrov why he hadn\u2019t written down each detail, he responded, \u201cBecause I had a phone in one hand and the intercom in the other, and I don\u2019t have a third hand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Soviet Union kept the near-miss covered up for a decade, but\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/allthatsinteresting.com\/collapse-of-the-soviet-union\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">after the country collapsed<\/a>\u00a0in 1991, he ultimately spoke out about his experience and was deemed a hero.<\/p>\n<p>In 2004, Petrov received the World Citizen Award for \u201cthe part he played in averting a catastrophe.\u201d Then, in 2006, he was honored at the United Nations. Petrov also received the Dresden Peace Prize in 2013. What\u2019s more, Danish filmmakers produced a documentary about his life titled\u00a0<em>The Man Who Saved the World<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_524110\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-524110 post-img-portrait\" src=\"https:\/\/allthatsinteresting.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/2011-german-media-award.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allthatsinteresting.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/2011-german-media-award.jpg 700w, https:\/\/allthatsinteresting.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/2011-german-media-award-231x300.jpg 231w, https:\/\/allthatsinteresting.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/2011-german-media-award-693x900.jpg 693w\" alt=\"2011 German Media Award\" width=\"700\" height=\"909\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-524110\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-524110\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"credit\">dpa picture alliance archive \/ Alamy Stock Photo<\/span><span class=\"caption-body\">Stanislav Petrov poses after receiving the German Media Prize in 2011.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Despite these honors, Stanislav Petrov maintained that he didn\u2019t deserve the spotlight.
