Alexei N. Kosygin
Premier of the Soviet Union who flew to Cairo during the 1973 Yom Kippur War to persuade Sadat to accept a cease-fire, defusing a crisis that had triggered a U.S. nuclear alert.
Alexei N. Kosygin was the Premier of the Soviet Union from 1964 to 1980. In mid-October 1973, during the Yom Kippur War, Kosygin flew to Cairo and persuaded Anwar Sadat to call for a cease-fire. This occurred after the Israeli military had successfully counterattacked in the Golan Heights and the Sinai, ending any immediate threat and the necessity for the nuclear alert.1
