Russia at all stages of history is considered to be not the best country for life. However, there are people here who have surprised society with the length of their lives.
Russian centenarians in world rankings
If we consider the longevity of Russia on a global scale, the organization GRG can not include everyone in its rating. The problem is in strict rules that require members of the organization to closely monitor the presence and authenticity of identity documents, and most importantly, the date of birth of applicants in the list. In addition, these documents must be translated into English.
For those who are 110 years old in Russia, at the time of their birth, they did not always give out any documents. The peasants were completely deprived of this right. Nevertheless, even in the GRG lists there is a native of Russia, who lived more than 110 years. This is Elena Chekhovich. She was born in the USSR, but she lived most of her life in the USA and Germany.
Some compatriots tend to add themselves to the year, as from a certain point of view, this increases the status. A striking example was Gregory Nestor.He claimed that he was already 116 years old and confirmed this with a modern passport. But soon specialized bodies discovered records that Gregory was in fact 96 years old.
