@davidk01 Welcome to the Global Supercentenarian forum!

I am Ale from Genoa (Liguria, Italy). Where are you from? Russia or Georgia?

Thanks for these useful lists.

@ale76 Hi, thanks for the welcome. By the way, I was born in Georgia, and I’ve lived in Spain since I was a child, but now I live in Canada.

Jefer Kamadadze, the oldest known living man in Georgia died on 23th December 2025 at the age of 105 years, 176 days.

Source: Facebook Post

The State Department of Veterans Affairs has reported on May 9 that the oldest World War II veteran in the country is Mariam Bezhashvili, a resident of Tbilisi (b. 21 August 1922).  Link

This means that Ioseb Tukhashvili (the oldest known living man in Georgia) is probably no longer alive.

Although there is also the possibility that he was mistakenly omitted, since Davit Kacharava (b. July 21, 1922) is a month older than Mariam but for some reason was not reported as the oldest veteran. Davit Kacharava was reported alive on 9 May 2026. Link

Davit Kacharava (right) at age 104, on 23 July 2026.

He is still able to walk and may be the second-oldest known living man in Georgia, depending on whether Ioseb Tukhashvili is still alive.

After nearly a year since Neli Kukhilava’s last confirmed appearance, on August 30 of last year, I have found a photograph of her taken in June 2026, confirming that she is still alive at the age of 108.
I also found a person born around 1916 who lives in the Samegrelo region at the age of 109/110.

It appears that there may be another living supercentenarian in Georgia. The woman reportedly lives in the Abkhazian part of Samegrelo. She was reported to be 110 years old in early June 2026. I suspect she may be the limbo case Lesia Kolbaia (b. December 1915), based on a possible physical resemblance, but this identification remains entirely unconfirmed.

I have found two possible cases of Georgian supercentenarians in the same municipality (Senaki).

Natela Gogia (1st photo), from Potskho, born in 1914/1915, was reported to be 105 years old in late September 2020. In March 2024, shortly before Mother's Day, she was reported to be 110 years old. There is a possibility that she is alive right now.

Nadia Antia, from Zani, was born in 1910; she was reported to be 108 years old in June 2018, and again in December 2020, she was reported to be 110 years old and the oldest person in Georgia.

All this indicates that there are many unknown cases of supercentenarians in the country that go unnoticed even by the local media.
