Vasily Arkhipov was an member of the Soviet military who saved the world. It's unknown what may have happened he didn't refuse to use nuclear torpedoes weapons against the U.S Navy, but various speculations exist, such as an thermonuclear war.

An coincidence is that both officers related to the ship, who I am not saying right now, died at the age of 72, along with him.
