On 26 September 1983, Petrov defied Soviet military protocol and classified reports by an early-warning system of an incoming missile strike from the United States as a false alarm. Because of this decision, which likely avoided a large-scale nuclear war between the Soviet Union and the United States, Petrov hasis often been describedreferred to as "the man who saved the world."[1] His decision to report the incident as a false alarm has been described as "the most important decision of all time."[2]
In 2018, Petrov was posthumously awarded the Future of Life Award.[2]3]
