Stanislav Petrov Harrison Butker Jersey , a Soviet military officer who is widely credited with helping prevent a nuclear war with the US, has died aged 77, his son told AFP on Tuesday.


Petrov, whose extraordinary story was told in a documentary titled "The Man Who Saved the World", received several international awards, was honored at the United Nations and met Hollywood superstars such as Robert De Niro and Matt Damon.


Yet Petrov lived in a small town outside Moscow and died in relative obscurity on May 19 Daeshon Hall Jersey , his death making headlines in Russia and abroad only months later when a German friend wrote a blog post about his death.


In September 1983, Petrov was an officer on duty at a secret command center south of Moscow when an alarm went off signaling that the United States had launched intercontinental ballistic missiles.


The officer - who had only a few minutes to make a decision and was not sure about the incoming data - dismissed the warning as a false alarm.


Had he told his commanders of an imminent US nuclear strike, the Soviet leadership - locked in an arms race with Washington - might have ordered a retaliatory strike.


Instead the 44-year-old lieutenant colonel reported a system malfunction and an investigation that followed afterwards proved he was right.


Petrov came home only several days later but did not tell his family about what had happened. "He came home knackered but did not tell us anything," his son Dmitry said.
