Look at that heckin' jawline! ...Actually... Wasn't there an AU where Superman landed in Russia?
boobcat
There are at least 5 times Russians prevented Nuke War. K-19 crew sacrificed themselves. Khrushchev not JFK resolved the Cuban Crisis
Lv30Wizard
He didn't just avoided ww3 for himself, he prevented it for the world. And the sources says it's true so far
pyrrhlis

"noone knows him" I've seen posts about him dozens of times, so clearly some people do.
DonPense
He was also on the K-19, which had a movie made about it...
scuba7jb
I just saw that on wikipedia... he had quite the career!
neil137
drop? no it was a nuclear torpedo
spattr
It was a flying sub.
boobcat
USA dropped a couple on Georgia(5 out of 6 failsafe switches failed) USA has LOST 5 nuclear weapons and left a stack on a Int'airport runway
boobcat
And the Russian sub-Commander @ Cuban Crisis and a different Russian Nuke Warning guy and Khrushchev (NOT Kennedy) @ Cuban Missile Crisis
Polorboy
There was an entire show on Discovery about this, I think people know who he is.
UltraXar
I've seen it. Crazy story. Their AC broke and the US was hitting them with powerful sonar blasts and it was basically hell in that sub.

Wasn't there a reference about that guy in Metal Gear Solid V? I'm sure I heard a couple Soviet Soldiers talking about a dude who did this.
stotinka
SOVIET ! DAMN IT, HE WAS A SOVIET ARMY OFFICER .
TexanSailor
There's so many commanding officers that have disobeyed orders to avoid WW3.
ricerescue
Well this one didn't disobey any orders, his order was to decide.
VultureTX
Because they did not want to go down in history as the idiot who started it!
SoapyMammaryMasturbation
James Blunt was ordered by a US General to attack Russian troops in the Balkans, but refused. True story.
ComcastTechSupport
I remember seeing that on Top Gear, it was a very interesting interview.
SheerAnalBumParty
The scary part is that Arkhipov was the only person to veto, and on other submarines only the captain and pol.officer were needed to launch.
PoleLineHooligan
"No one knows him" said the old reposted graphic on the Internets' largest image sharing website.
StRocketScience
Is Imgur the larges image sharing website? It might be, but I'd say most people who use it don't have accounts
Threepointonefourblahblah
Weeelll, if you have to be all 'literal' about it, sure. Ask ten people you meet tomorrow if they know the name and get back to me.
Bossdogs
And yet pretty much everyone knows that there was a dude who averted WW3 by refusing to launch a nuke.
dennydorko
I read this as if it were a class report written by a 2nd grader.
Individualsocksinthewashingmachine
Read it as a Russian using google translate and it makes sense
mrread55
Scarier still that a relatively short chain of people is required to set the whole world ablaze.
MerToo
and that one of them is a mongoloid orangutan in a bad suit. Why couldn't we have a normal orangutan! Executive order: BANANA FOR EVERYONE!
OmNachoMama
The number of sane ones is shorter.

"Averted." I think the word you're looking for is "averted."

I thought I would see the "do it" gif in the comments

Coming right up!
Stevie84thfc
True to your word, I had to upvote it
mikeatike
The text is for Stanislav Petrov. This guy was a sub commander that refused to fire a nuclear torpedo. At Cuban Missile Crisis.
CardboardEmpress
The incident involving Petrov happened in 1983. I wrote a post on him. He's a goddamned star.
mikeatike
Good point, the text is just all messed up. Petrov and Arkhipov are god damn heroes, though.
MerToo
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislav_Petrov judged that the data the early-warning system was mistakenly providing did not indicate war
stoffelbruh
Why are we getting so many "Ukrainians are Heroes" "Russians are Heroes" posts? Is something a-cookin?

Excuse me?
DMGuy
To be fair, this Russian is a hero because he *refused* to follow orders and nuke something. :P
Individualsocksinthewashingmachine
It's almost like the internet has people all around the world using it
spattr
Could be propaganda. But if somebody says Ukrainian Mila Kunis is hot, they'd be right.
JapAnus
Or it is fact that your American movie guy John Rambo is not only hero in all of world, comrade.
GilaMonsieur

Crimsntyd
He didn't avoid it, he AVERTED it. Cmon. He didn't dive into a foxhole when it started or something.
CrunchyLookingLeaf
also it was going to be fired at a US destroyer, not the mainland. but dont let the facts get in the way of a good story
groundcontrolto
I came here to post that :-)
abacaxi
Is diving into a foxhole an effective way to avoid nuclear war?
LizardsInTheSky
No you need a picnic blanket or a schoolhouse desk. The old infomercials assured me so.
Crimsntyd
I said "or something". ????

In Soviet Russia, nuke drop from a submarine.

Most nukes are by submarine...

Fun fact: There are more planes in the ocean than submarines in the sky. :D

That is the first thought that crossed my mind as well. I'd objectify him any day. ????

I am not sure what's up with the question marks.
Justineer
They were being sarcastic.
OminousBanjo
They who? It was my comment- I don't know where the question marks came from.
PhloydPhan
He was a political officer in the Soviet Navy who refused to authorize the use of a nuclear torpedo against the American Navy. (1/2)
Metronomicon
I guess he regretted his choice by the 90s. People who refused to kill Americans always do.
GuderiansSupplyGuy
I appreciate the post but it's inaccuracies bothered me +1 for you sir

@OP is a liar when they say no one knows this guy. i've known about this guy for LITERALLY 25 seconds already. psh

He was litterally not the political officer he was the flotilla commander.

This is imgur - home of bullshit fact posts. Don't bother.

Wow its like the comment was the bibliography

Also a wiki page shouldn't be a source unless it's sources are good sources.

Nobody7713
For internet comments wikipedia is a fine source
BullitKing41YT
You can never trust Wikipedia because you could literally sign up am make a page about yourself on wiki
beatlegs
WIKIPEDIA IS FAKE NEWS SAD!
formerlyhobojoe
I have tried and subsequently failed and been banned from wiki for this so no that accusation is false
Clearlyblasphemi
That was true maybe 10 years ago. Now every edit is heavily monitored in order to keep it a reliable source of information.
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
did you try that? it's quite likely it will be deleted almost immediately, because it doesn't have relevancy for the general public.
mikeatike
He was also the XO of K-19. So he was played by both Liam Neeson and Denzel Washington. Crimson Tide was based on this incident.

Roll bounce
poscduke
That is a very weak "based on" its barely even an "inspired by"
mikeatike
No incident like that ever happened on an American boat. (that we know about)
poscduke
True but the writer of Crimson tide could have independently thought "what if the Captain and XO disagreed over firing the missiles"
mikeatike
Exactly.
sheeroo123
Were they just the would be American versions of it then? Because the Crimson Tide was about americans
BoredCreep
That's why he said Crimson Tide was 'based on'.

There's documentaries. 'K-19: The Widowmaker' was about another sub Arkhipov was on.

You're thinking of Stanislav Petrov (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2277106/)
eroso
Yeah, and it was about 2005 when nobody knew about him.
Potatopinup
He also gets reposted on here quite a lot and I guess on other point whoring websites as well.

Well if he did as he was told it would be very likely that a lot of us won't be here today. So let this repost slide.
