even though I find it exceptionally great of him to not fire those nuclear missiles, I still don't understand how he "saved lives". IMHO there is a huge difference in saving a life and refusing to kill someone.
Going with the definition of being a savior of live used in that article, I save hundreds of lives every single day simply by not getting a gun and blasting away.
The man who almost destroyed the world is also russian

But If someone was pointing a gun into your head and saying "Get this gun and kill these people, or we'll all die!", and if you did refuse to do it, wouldn't you have saved lives? The one you described is not the same situation as he was in.

AND they would be self-powered! Gotta love the built-in nuclear fuel!Look on the bright side, if he had pushed the button, then we would have some cool WW3 games in 50 years or so.
Are such events random or is there a puppet master controlling "the show" unknowingly to us?
Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste.
I've been around for a long, long year, stole many a man's soul and faith....
...I rode a tank, held a general's rank.
When the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank.
Pleased to meet you...woo woo!
