Stanislav Petrov (1939-2017), "the man who saved the world", was a lieutenant colonel in the Soviet Air Defense Forces. He was monitoring the Oko nuclear early-warning system when it malfunctioned on September 26, 1983. He correctly judged the report of an incoming U.S. missile to be a false alarm, and his decision not to launch a retaliatory strike, against orders, is credited with preventing a nuclear war.

Stasys, a Lithuanian form of Stanislav is, to my knowledge, not mentioned often on this website. I am awed at the process a handful of early European names is transformed into these scores of beautiful names passing through generations of varied cultures, including Stasys.
Lithuanians were said to treasure their lifestyle. During Soviet occupation, they preserved their traditions. Learning Russian by necessity, they could have abandoned the ancient ways of their ancestors to modernize with so many other Eastern European states. Rather, they emerged with the skills to blend yet remain Lithuanian in culture, language, and independence.
Please contribute if you know more on the transformation of the name Stanislav into the Lithuanian May 7th Name Day "Stasys."
