Stanislav Petrov

A Soviet officer which stopped doomsday from being a real thing on the 26th of September, 1983, trusting his instincts when a computer detected a American nuclear missile being launched towards the USSR. He refused to retaliate, thus avoiding the possible end of humanity.
You see this guy there, Stanislav Petrov ? Yeah, that guy fucking saved the world.
