Редакция S04E240 - Как советский подполковник предотвратил ядерную войну / Редакция

Soviet Lieutenant Colonel Stanislav Petrov, who prevented a nuclear war in 1983, became a media figure in the West in the 90s. There they made films about him, wrote a book, Kevin Costner, Robert De Niro and Matt Damon met with him.

Very few people in Russia still know about Petrov. As well as about the circumstances of that night from September 25 to 26, 1983.

Now that nuclear war has become a real possibility again, we decided that we simply have to share this story with you — the story of Stanislav Petrov, a Soviet officer who was not afraid to take responsibility not to start World War III.
