Stanislav Petrov, retired Soviet Lieutenant-Colonel, looks on during an interview in a hotel in Dresden, Germany, 15 February 2013. The former Russian soldier is credited with preventing a nuclear war on 25 September 1983 between the superpowers. He judged an early warning system that erroneously detected a missile launch from the United States to be a false alarm and thereby is thought to have averted a nuclear holocaust. On 17 February he will be presented the Dresden Peace Prize. Photo: Oliver Killig
