Simple and amazing stories of real heroes. Everyone should know their names.
History knows a huge number of people who performed outstanding deeds and discoveries, but at the same time went unnoticed.
website believes that many of them deserve fame and wide recognition. This article collects the stories of seven such heroes - they are all different, but each of them made life on planet Earth a little - or even a lot - better and happier.
Story from Konstantin Paustovsky
“It was the spring of 1912, before the exams, a meeting was organized in the garden. All the high school students in our class were called to it, except the Jews. The Jews were not supposed to know anything about this meeting.
At the meeting, it was decided that the best students from Russians and Poles should get a B in the exams in at least one subject, so as not to receive a gold medal. We decided to give all the gold medals to the Jews. Without these medals they were not accepted into the university.
We swore to keep this decision secret. To the credit of our class, we did not let it slip either then or later, when we were already university students. Now I am breaking this oath, because almost none of my comrades from the gymnasium are alive. Most of them died during the great wars my generation experienced. Only a few people survived."
A world without nuclear war
September 26, 1983 Lieutenant Colonel Stanislav Petrov was on duty at Serpukhov-15, a secret bunker near Moscow, and was busy monitoring the Soviet Union's satellite system. Shortly after midnight, one of the satellites signaled to Moscow that the United States was launching 5 ballistic missiles at Russia. All responsibility at this moment fell on the forty-four-year-old lieutenant colonel: he needed to make a decision on how to respond to this signal.
The alarm came at a difficult time, relations between the USSR and America were strained, but Petrov decided that it was false and refused to take any retaliatory measures. Thus, he prevented a possible nuclear disaster - the signal actually turned out to be false.
Vasily Arkhipov, an officer in the Russian Navy, also once made a decision that saved the world. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, he prevented the launch of a nuclear torpedo. The Soviet submarine B-59 was surrounded near Cuba by eleven American destroyers and the aircraft carrier Randolph. Despite the fact that this took place in international waters, the Americans used depth charges against the boat to force it to rise to the surface.
The submarine commander, Valentin Savitsky, prepared to launch a retaliatory atomic torpedo. However, the senior officer on board Arkhipov showed restraint, paid attention to the signals from the American ships and stopped Savitsky. The signal “Stop the provocation” was sent from the boat, after which the American military forces were withdrawn and the situation was somewhat defused.
The Man with the Golden Arm
At thirteen, Australian James Harrison underwent major breast surgery and urgently needed about 13 liters of donor blood. After the operation, he was in the hospital for three months. Realizing that donated blood saved his life, he made a promise to start donating blood as soon as he turned 18 years old.
As soon as Harrison reached the age required to donate blood, he immediately went to the Red Cross blood donation center. It was there that it turned out that his blood was unique in its own way, since its plasma contained special antibodies, thanks to which it was possible to prevent Rh conflict between a pregnant mother and her fetus. Without these antibodies, Rh conflict leads to a minimum of anemia and jaundice of the child, and a maximum of stillbirth.
When James was told what exactly was found in his blood, he asked only one question. He asked how often you can donate blood.
Since then, every three weeks, James Harrison comes to a medical center near his home and donates exactly 400 milliliters of blood. To date, he has already donated approximately 377 liters of blood.
Over the 56 years since his first donation, he has donated blood and its components almost 1,000 times and saved about 2,000,000 children and their young mothers.
Polish Schindler
Eugene Lazowski was a Polish doctor who saved thousands of Jews during the Holocaust. Thanks to the discovery of his friend, Dr. Stanislav Matulewicz, Lazowski simulated an outbreak of typhus, a dangerous infectious disease. Matulevich discovered that a healthy person could be inoculated with certain bacteria, and then the test results for typhus would be positive, and the person himself would not experience any manifestations of the disease.
The Germans were afraid of typhus because it was highly contagious. At a time when Jews infected with typhus were routinely executed, Lazowski vaccinated the non-Jewish population in the neighborhoods surrounding the ghetto, near the town of Rozwadov. He knew that the Germans would be forced to refuse to approach the Jewish settlements, and they ended up simply quarantining the area. This saved approximately 8,000 Polish Jews from certain death in concentration camps.
The scientist who saved millions of lives
American biologist Maurice Ralph Hilleman created 36 vaccines during his life - more than any other scientist in the world. Of the fourteen vaccines that are now used everywhere, he invented 8, including measles, meningitis, chickenpox, hepatitis A and B.
In addition, Hilleman was the first person to determine how the influenza virus mutates. Almost single-handedly, he worked to create a vaccine that prevented the 1957 Asian flu outbreak from becoming a repeat of the 1918 Spanish pandemic, which killed 20 million people worldwide.
Immortal Cell Donor
African American Henrietta Lacks died of cancer in 1951 at the age of thirty-one. However, she became the donor of cellular material that allowed Dr. George Otto Gay to create history's first immortal line of human cells, known as the HeLa line. “Immortality” meant that these cells did not die after several divisions, which means they could be used for many medical experiments and research.
In 1954, a strain of HeLa cells was used by Jonas Sock to develop a vaccine against polio. In 1955, HeLa became the first human cells to be successfully cloned. The demand for these cells grew rapidly. They were put into mass production and sent to scientists around the world to study cancer, AIDS, the effects of radiation and other diseases. Scientists are now growing about 20 tons of Henrietta cells, and there are almost 11,000 patents related to them.
Inventor of the seat belt
July 10, 1962 Volvo Corporation employee Nils Bohlin Patented his invention - a three-point seat belt. It was the same system that is still used in cars today: it took Bohlin just under a year to create it, and it was first introduced on Volvo cars in 1959.
The corporation made the seat belt design free to other automakers, and it soon became a worldwide standard. According to recent studies, Bolin's invention saved about a million lives during its existence.

The most touching actions that prove that the world is not without good people.
In this world of wars, rallies and political upheavals, it is very important to remain human and be able to help out in difficult times. Sometimes doing a good deed is not at all difficult, but many people simply pretend not to notice anything, although they know perfectly well that they could help. But even the smallest kind deed would bring more love and joy than all the riches in the world.
In this collection website I decided to collect the best acts of kindness from 2013. We present to your attention the stories that have captured the hearts of people around the world.
A service company from the American state of Pennsylvania chose a very original and touching way to clean the windows in an orphanage in Pittsburgh. The employees descending from the roof from floor to floor were dressed in superhero costumes - Batman, Spider-Man, Superman and Captain America.
It’s no secret that the Internet is replete with all kinds of videos about Russia in the “trash” category with our drunken, fighting fellow citizens, lawlessness on the roads and other attributes of the everyday life of Russians, filmed on DVRs. But Arkady Moryakhin from Almaty decided to show that in Russia there are not only reckless drivers and drunk driving, but also people who do good deeds and help each other for no reason at any time of the day.
Famous writer JK Rowling lost her billionaire status because she spent so much money on charity. This is the first such case in the history of Forbes.

12 thousand city residents fulfilled the dream of five-year-old Miles Scott. The performance was organized by the Make a Wish charity, which grants wishes to terminally ill children. The fact is that the boy has leukemia. He has been undergoing treatment for several years and is now in remission.
98-year-old beggar Grandfather Dobri from the Bulgarian village of Bailovo, dressed in homespun clothes and ancient leather boots, often stands outside the Cathedral of St. Alexander Nevsky in Sofia. Every day he gets up early and walks 10 kilometers from his home to the capital. In 2010, while filming a documentary about the cathedral, a Bulgarian television journalist made a shocking discovery in the church's archives - the most generous private donation the cathedral has ever received - 40,000 euros was made by an old beggar - Dobri's grandfather.
The 98-year-old saint does not touch a single penny of the money that is handed to him. He lives on his pension of 100 euros a month, as well as non-monetary handouts in the form of fruit and bread. Grandfather Dobri also helps many others, for example, he paid the utility bills of an orphanage that was on the verge of losing heat and electricity. He also helps the homeless. But we will never know about all the good deeds of Grandfather Dobri, because he never talks about them.
Red Mark was one of the most famous Dutch fans. At the beginning of 2000, he managed to unite opposing groups of Feyenoord fans.

In just a few days, an unforgettable event was organized for Red Mark, who had been a Feyenoord fan for 41 years.

In October
Who sleeps sweetly on the shoulder of an unfamiliar passenger in the subway has spread all over the Western Internet. Inspired by this touching act, the charity Charidy decided to conduct its experiment in the New York subway. The hero of the video pretended to be tired for an hour, falling asleep on the shoulders of the passengers sitting next to him. At first the passengers waved it off, but then...
The homeless man returned his wallet
“Today, having left home early in the morning in order to avoid traffic jams, I went to pick up my mother, so that later we could go to the dacha together. Having gathered all my most loved ones together, I was ready to go to the dacha, when suddenly I discovered that my wallet with ALL the documents for the car, license, cards, passport had disappeared - in short, my whole life had disappeared without a trace. I returned home in desperation and suddenly a stranger rang at my door. At first glance, he is an ordinary homeless person, but with clear, kind eyes. He said hello, introduced himself, and after the phrase “You must have been knocked off your feet...” handed me my wallet. Silent scene. With shaking hands, I begin to rummage through my wallet and realize that everything is there, even the money! My husband immediately handed him the money, which he refused! You see, a man with no fixed abode found a wallet on the highway, got on the train, then the metro, then a minibus, and searched for my house for an hour just to help. He left, and we stood for a long time and thought about this simple Man with a Capital M!” Irina Demidova.
An ordinary American couple who arrived at a gas station gave us all an amazing and unexpected lesson in the joy of life. Will is a bartender, Monifa is a fitness trainer, and they have been married for 12 years. Simple, cheerful, open people who sincerely love each other and life, who know how to enjoy every moment, even such an unexpected one. Instead of being shy and modest, they put on a fantastically funny, kind and touching show near their car, captivating first the host and TV viewers, and then the entire Internet.
Rescuer
Serbian Renato Grbic, 51, from Belgrade, owner of a restaurant near the Danube Bridge, has saved 25 people trying to commit suicide by jumping from the bridge over the past 15 years. After Renato pulled the first suicide from the water, his small motor boat is always ready. “While I’m working, I always watch the bridge - I just can’t turn my back on those who decide to voluntarily take their own lives,” says Renato. Seven years ago, in mid-January, he pulled an 18-year-old girl from the water. It turned out that she lives next door. Now the girl comes to his restaurant every year to celebrate her birthday. And a couple of years later she invited him to the wedding. “Every time I see her, my heart beats faster,” the rescuer admits.
“My husband and I also met a very kind person. Last winter, during Cyclone Javier, when all the roads and yards were covered with snow up to the tops of cars, our car was also quite covered in snow. There were no shovels at home, the stores had also sold out everything, we collected everything that was more or less digging at home, we went out, and our car stood dug up and with a smooth path to the exit. And there’s a note under the wiper.”
“Rus' is not without good people!” Russian people can easily be considered one of the most responsive peoples in the world. And we have someone to look up to.
Okolnichy Fedor Rtishchev
During his lifetime, Fyodor Rtishchev, a close friend and adviser to Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, received the nickname “gracious husband.” Klyuchevsky wrote that Rtishchev fulfilled only part of the commandment of Christ - he loved his neighbor, but not himself. He was one of that rare breed of people who put the interests of others above their own “wants.” It was on the initiative of the “bright man” that the first shelters for beggars appeared not only in Moscow, but also beyond its borders. It was common for Rtishchev to pick up a drunk on the street and take him to a temporary shelter he organized - an analogue of a modern sobering-up station. How many were saved from death and did not freeze to death on the street, one can only guess.
In 1671, Fyodor Mikhailovich sent grain convoys to starving Vologda, and then money raised from the sale of personal property. And when I learned about the need of the Arzamas residents for additional lands, he simply donated his own.
During the Russian-Polish War, he carried out not only his compatriots, but also Poles from the battlefield. He hired doctors, rented houses, bought food and clothing for the wounded and prisoners, again at his own expense. After Rtishchev’s death, his “Life” appeared - a unique case of demonstrating the holiness of a layman, and not a monk.
Empress Maria Feodorovna
The second wife of Paul I, Maria Fedorovna, was famous for her excellent health and tirelessness. Starting the morning with cold douches, prayer and strong coffee, the Empress devoted the rest of the day to taking care of her countless pupils. She knew how to convince moneybags to donate money for the construction of educational institutions for noble maidens in Moscow and St. Petersburg, Simbirsk and Kharkov. With her direct participation, the largest charitable organization was created - the Imperial Humane Society, which existed until the beginning of the 20th century.
Having 9 children of her own, she especially cared for abandoned babies: the sick were cared for in orphanages, the strong and healthy were cared for in trustworthy peasant families.
This approach has significantly reduced child mortality. With all the scale of her activities, Maria Feodorovna also paid attention to the little things that were not necessary for life. Thus, in the Obukhov psychiatric hospital in St. Petersburg, each patient received his own kindergarten.
Her will contains the following lines: “Give life to Your Spirit through meekness, love and mercy. Be helpers and benefactors to the suffering and the poor.”
Prince Vladimir Odoevsky
A descendant of the Rurikovichs, Prince Vladimir Odoevsky, was convinced that the thought he sowed would certainly “come up tomorrow” or “in a thousand years.” A close friend of Griboyedov and Pushkin, the writer and philosopher Odoevsky was an active supporter of the abolition of serfdom, worked to the detriment of his own interests for the Decembrists and their families, and tirelessly intervened in the fate of the most disadvantaged. He was ready to rush to the aid of anyone who turned to him and saw in everyone a “living string” that could be made to sound for the benefit of the cause.
The St. Petersburg Society for Visiting the Poor, which he organized, helped 15 thousand needy families.
There was a women's workshop, a children's shelter with a school, a hospital, hostels for the elderly and families, and a social store.
Despite his origin and connections, Odoevsky did not seek to occupy an important post, believing that in a “minor position” he could bring “real benefit.” The “Strange Scientist” tried to help young inventors realize their ideas. The main character traits of the prince, according to contemporaries, were humanity and virtue.
Prince Peter of Oldenburg
An innate sense of justice distinguished the grandson of Paul I from most of his colleagues. He not only served in the Preobrazhensky Regiment during the reign of Nicholas I, but also equipped the first school in the history of the country at his place of service, in which soldiers’ children were educated. Later, this successful experience was applied to other regiments.
In 1834, the prince witnessed the public punishment of a woman who was driven through a line of soldiers, after which he petitioned for dismissal, saying that he would never be able to carry out such orders.
Pyotr Georgievich devoted the rest of his life to charity. He was a trustee and honorary member of many institutions and societies, including the Kyiv Home for the Poor.
Sergey Skirmunt
Retired second lieutenant Sergei Skirmunt is almost unknown to the general public. He did not hold high positions and failed to become famous for his good deeds, but he was able to build socialism on a single estate.
At the age of 30, when Sergei Apollonovich was painfully pondering his future fate, 2.5 million rubles fell on him from a deceased distant relative.
The inheritance was not spent on carousing or lost at cards. One part of it became the basis for donations to the Society for the Promotion of Public Public Entertainment, the founder of which was Skirmunt himself. With the rest of the money, the millionaire built a hospital and a school on the estate, and all his peasants were able to move to new huts.
Anna Adler
The whole life of this amazing woman was devoted to educational and pedagogical work. She was an active participant in various charitable societies, helped during the famine in the Samara and Ufa provinces, and on her initiative the first public reading room was opened in the Sterlitamak district. But her main efforts were aimed at changing the situation of people with disabilities. For 45 years, she did everything to ensure that blind people had the opportunity to become full-fledged members of society.
She was able to find the means and strength to open the first specialized printing house in Russia, where in 1885 the first edition of the “Collection of Articles for Children’s Reading, published and dedicated to blind children by Anna Adler” was published.
To produce the book in Braille, she worked seven days a week until late at night, personally typing and proofreading page after page.
Later, Anna Alexandrovna translated the musical notation system, and blind children were able to learn to play musical instruments. With her active assistance, a few years later the first group of blind students graduated from the St. Petersburg School for the Blind, and a year later from the Moscow School. Literacy and vocational training helped graduates find jobs, changing the stereotype of their incapacity. Anna Adler just barely lived to see the opening of the First Congress of the All-Russian Society of the Blind.
Nikolay Pirogov
The entire life of the famous Russian surgeon is a series of brilliant discoveries, the practical use of which saved more than one life. The men considered him a wizard who attracted higher powers for his “miracles.” He was the first in the world to use surgery in the field, and his decision to use anesthesia saved not only his patients from suffering, but also those who lay on the tables of his students later. Through his efforts, the splints were replaced with bandages soaked in starch.
He was the first to use the method of sorting the wounded into those who were seriously injured and those who would make it to the rear. This reduced the mortality rate significantly. Before Pirogov, even a minor wound to the arm or leg could result in amputation.
He personally carried out operations and tirelessly ensured that the soldiers were provided with everything they needed: warm blankets, food, water.
According to legend, it was Pirogov who taught Russian academics to perform plastic surgery, demonstrating the successful experience of implanting a new nose on the face of his barber, whom he helped get rid of deformity.
Being an excellent teacher, about whom all the students spoke with warmth and gratitude, he believed that the main task of education is to teach how to be human.
The most long-awaited gift that people expect from celebrities is a personal meeting. And the stars are happy to do this. There have always been many such famous people both in our country and abroad. You can recall the famous doctor Nikolai Ivanovich Pirogov, who was known for his charitable activities.
Wheelchair basketball with Gerard Pique
Famous defender of the Barcelona football club Gerard Pique sat in a wheelchair specifically to be on an equal footing with people in wheelchairs diagnosed with paralysis and to play basketball with them.

Vanya’s father and younger brother were killed under fire, and Vanya himself was evacuated to Russia.
Askold and Edgar, having laid Marfa in the hall of the institute, brought Vanya to her. The boy stroked the animal and said that he was not afraid at all.
After the visit Edgar shared his thoughts: “The words “courage” and “children” should not be interconnected, but what we saw today cannot be called differently: when a nine-year-old child courageously fights for life and at the same time finds the strength to rejoice. Holding Vanya in my arms, tears welled up in my eyes, to hide it.”
Before leaving, the Zapashny brothers gave the child a small toy tiger cub in memory of their meeting.

Ward from the children's hospice "House with a Lighthouse" 8 year old Lisa with the help of the Voronins, I visited the set. The girl has complete loss of vision due to an incurable form of cancer, but this does not stop her from listening to the series “Voronin” 10 episodes a day.
On the set, Lisa tried herself as a cameraman, giving the command “Cut!” and “Motor!”, read the next episode and held the microphone. The child felt at home in the film pavilion; the girl even gave some non-childish advice to the director of the series.

Ivan Tkachenko transferred 500,000 rubles twice for the treatment of Diana Ibragimova.
Sometimes it seems to us that the world is closed in its cruelty and pursuit of money, but this is not so! Evidence of this is the good deeds that famous people do. And how many more things ordinary people do, we just don’t know about it...
P Remember the song of the old woman Shapoklyak from the cartoon about the crocodile Gena: “You cannot become famous for good deeds.” Unfortunately, in the modern world, negative events and actions generate more interest than good deeds. But the people from our article do good simply because they have a pure heart and this makes their souls happier. Do good no matter what!
About the victory of good
The story began when Glen James, a homeless man from Boston, found a backpack containing a large amount of cash on the street. He was very lucky, but the man did not lose his head and handed over the find to the police so that the money could be returned to the owner. The owner of the backpack was so shocked by what happened that he organized a campaign to raise money for the man. So far they have collected twice the amount found. Glen James, who lost his home and job eight years ago, said he wouldn't take a penny from what he found even if he was desperate.

Kindness in Russian
Kind-hearted grandmother
A Kolmyk grandmother knitted 300 pairs of warm socks for flood victims. As you know, there are no small good deeds, and once again we find confirmation of this in the wonderful news from Magadan. A local resident, pensioner Rufina Ivanovna Korobeinikova, knitted and donated them to flood victims in Khabarovsk three hundred pairs of warm socks.
Over the course of several years, the elderly woman knitted about two thousand woolen products, which were donated to the pupils of an orphanage and to a home for the disabled. Since things knitted by a merciful grandmother were usually given to those in need at Christmas, over time a very warm tradition of “woolen gifts” developed in local shelters, and Rufina Ivanovna was already knitting new socks for the upcoming holiday when the flood began in Khabarovsk.
Rufina Ivanovna, having heard in the news about the tragedy associated with the flood, decided that now her “woolen gifts” are more important to the victims, because many people were left not only without housing, but also without clothes.
