Hot Line kept alive since 1962 linking Washington and Moscow
The Hot Line, established to prevent nuclear miscalculation, remains active with cables and teleprinters linking Washington and Moscow via London and Helsinki. A Pentagon terminal connects to Brezhnev’s Kremlin offices, with Russian Cyrillic outputs and English inputs prepared for the President. The system, first proposed at Geneva, has seen limited use, most notably during the 1967 Arab-Israeli conflict, and operates through rotating three-man teams who translate Moscow messages for the President.
