I wonder if US schools teach this crucial fact in history class. I will bet they don't cause credit to a Soviet would be blasphemous.
It is unwise to hate an entire country's people for a few people's mistakes. Remember, soldiers take their orders from tyrants, and those tyrants are the ones that deserve the hatred. Respect to arkhapov for disobeying and saving the world.

In 37 Days, we-re about to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of The Time That Humanity Was Closest to Nuclear Fallout.
Shocking how influential this day was, and we-re about to commemorate the 60th Year of this perilous time.

Also can't forget about Stanislav Petrov, though Vasili's feat is slightly more impressive as not only did they have actual confirmation of projectiles, but he also had the peer pressure to deal with.

When Khrushchev visited the US, he was received by the people with fan fare. His family said that maybe part of the reason he didn't attack, was his memory of how well he was received by Americans.

There were madmen on both sides, such as Curtis Lemay, Fidel Castro, and Che Guevara, all of whom were dying to launch nuclear strikes. .
And one sane man: Vasily Arkhipov.

There was also Stanislav Petrov who decided that the threat shown by the computer (of a nuclear strike inbound) was a false alarm. People like this should be recognized.

When I clicked the video, I did not see the thumbnail. I was expecting the Berlin Tank Face-off of the USA and USSR at the former Berlin Wall. But damn, this felt better.

Honestly Vasili Arkhipov-s birthday (Jan 30) and 27 Oct should be worldwide public holidays because we could have all been killed in the 60-s.
