International career
In his only game for Russia national under-21 football team against Ukraine on 9 October 1999, Petukhov was a part of a very rare four-players substitution chain. Magomed Adiyev was substituted at half-time by Sergei Osipov, who then was substituted by Petukhov with 13 minutes left in the game due to injury, and then Petukhov was substituted himself 11 minutes later, as coach Leonid Pakhomov was trying to run out the clock and used the substitution on Petukhov as he was the youngest player in the game. Pakhomov apologized to Petukhov for substituting him.
