Wikipedia says Stanislav Petrov is still alive and well; does he know about this celebration?

It feels like he'd be interested, does anyone know how to try and contact him?

He's been interviewed about it several times, see e.g. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-24280831 or http://www.gazeta.ru/social/2013/02/26/4981721.shtml (in Russian).

The interviews don't mention anything about the celebration, though. It might be possible to get in touch with him through this tribute website.
