Mrs Klavidya Gadyuchkina recently celebrated her claimed 113th birthday in late November 2022 (see below). The ESO has validated her date of birth as 5 December 1910 (so one year later, and a 13-day difference with the date on her birth registration due to the Old Style calendar still being in use in Russia in 1910).
Жительнице Ярославля Клавдии Гадючкиной 24 ноября 2022 года исполнилось 113 лет. Она одна из старейших горожан. Клавдия Михайловна родилась в поселке Норское за восемь лет до Октябрьской революции, в 1909 году. Уже в 15 лет вышла на работу на фабрику «Красный перевал». На предприятии она проработала более 50 лет — сначала прядильщицей, а затем стала помощником мастера цеха. Вышла замуж, родила троих детей — двух сыновей и дочку.
Муж Клавдии Гадючкиной Сергей Петрович умер в 1956 году. Женщине пришлось растить детей одной. Сейчас у Клавдии Михайловны шестеро внуков, восемь правнуков и уже четверо праправнуков. Свою семью одна из старейших жительниц Ярославля считает своей главной гордостью. Дети, внуки и правнуки заботятся о ней, поддерживают. Говорят, что их мама и бабушка — человек, объединяющий семью, всегда готовый выслушать, поддержать, дать добрый совет. Ради своих близких Клавдия Михайловна готова жить дальше.

― Главная моя гордость — это семья. Мы всю жизнь вместе, поддерживаем друг друга, помогаем в трудные минуты. Почему я дожила до таких лет, сама не знаю. Я просто жила, была доброй к людям, никому зла не делала, и мне никто не делал. Может, в этом и секрет. Спасибо, что не забываете меня и навещаете! ― сказала Клавдия Михайловна Гадючкина.
Поздравить Клавдию Михайловну пришла глава Дзержинского района Екатерина Мусинова. Она навещает бабушку каждый год.
— Она очень позитивный человек. Единственное, жалеет, что ровесников нет. Хвалила своих внуков, сейчас у внучки живет. Меня тронуло, что она настоящая женщина-хозяйка. Когда мы уже уходили, она начала спрашивать: «Почему вы не взяли по конфете за мой день рождения?» Она подхватилась, встала и взяла вазочку с конфетами. Видно было, что она рада гостям. Я всегда боюсь утомить людей такого почтенного возраста, но после общения с ней такое светлое чувство остается, — рассказала в разговоре с 76.RU глава Дзержинского района Екатерина Мусинова. — Клавдия Михайловна — реальная историческая личность, человек, который видел многое и через многое прошел. Но остался очень позитивным. Она как-то пела с нами на встрече, а в этот раз сказала, что стала забывать слова песен. Пожаловалась, что хуже видит, слышит. Но сказала, что у нее есть специальные очки для чтения. Человек интересуется жизнью, своей семьей, близкими. Это дорогого стоит. Дай бог ей здоровья. Хочется, чтобы наши мамы, папы и бабушки доживали до таких лет. Это, наверное, особый подарок.
«Клавдия Михайловна остается активной и позитивной, старается вести домашние дела, следит за новостями в стране и в мире»

Klavdia Mikhailovna Gadyuchkina is a resident of Yaroslavl, who will turn 114 years old in November. Despite such a respectable age, Klavdia Mikhailovna continues to be keenly interested in everything, remembers all the main events of her long life, and willingly shares stories.
She did not come to the reception alone; the grandmother was supported by her granddaughter, great-granddaughter and great-great-granddaughter. They shared that it has been difficult to communicate with their grandmother lately: one ear cannot hear at all, and there is severe hearing loss in the other.
The center’s specialists did everything to make it comfortable for Klavdia Ivanovna to start using a hearing aid:
told how the hearing test will be carried out;
they did audiometry - a test that shows how well a person hears sounds of different frequencies and volumes;
tried on several hearing aids and helped make a choice;
We adjusted the hearing aid and, before purchasing it, gave it to Klavdia Mikhailovna at home so that she could feel how she heard in it in a familiar environment.
Experts gave separate recommendations to Klavdia Mikhailovna’s relatives. They will be useful to anyone who communicates with people who are hard of hearing:
you need to stand in front of the person, and not to the side or behind,
To talk slowly,
Don't speak too loudly, but don't whisper either,
pronounce words clearly without swallowing the endings of sentences.
According to Klavdia Mikhailovna’s relatives, she liked the hearing aid and the result that the Rainbow Sound specialists achieved during the adjustment. Now it will be easier for her to communicate with loved ones and journalists who visit her every year to interview her.

It may possibly be a little more difficult validating a case from this part of the world, but of course Ms Gadyuchkina is just outside the top 15 now - so the case is becoming quite a significant one.
The final missing piece of documentation is available, but not for free - and in current times we do not wish to financially support the Russian state.

Yeah, a real shame, isn't it? When geopolitical aggression interferes in the war of valuable work like SC validation. 🙁

Question: After the end of the Russo-Ukrainian War, would it be possible to validate her? Or would it still be inadvisable to financially support the Russian state even after the end of this war due to its occupation of Ukrainian territory?
LongeviQuest is pleased to announce the validation ofKlavdiya Gadyuchkinaas the oldest known person ever to have lived in Russia. A resident of Yaroslavl, she is 114 years and 315 days old as of today, making her the fifth-oldest living person in the world.
Klavdiya Mikhailovna Gadyuchkina (Клавдия Михайловна Гадючкина) was born in the village of Norskoye on the northwestern outskirts of the city of Yaroslavl, Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia (then Russian Empire). She claims to have been born on 24 November 1909; however, according to the research conducted by theEuropean Supercentenarian Organisation(ESO) and LongeviQuest, her actual birthdate is5 December 1910. When she was nine years old, her mother died of cancer. Her father, a carpenter, had to work a lot to afford both bread and hay for their cow. She had to leave school in the 3rd grade.
At the age of 15, she found a job at the local spinning factory “Red Pass”, dedicating her entire career to the establishment. She advanced from auxiliary worker to spinner and assistant foreman, eventually becoming a production leader, earning a gramophone as a reward for her achievements.
She married Sergey Petrovich, and the couple went on to have five children. Her eldest son was born at the beginning of World War II, and the youngest in 1945. Her daughter Rita was 11 years old at the beginning of the war. Before her husband left for the front, he instructed her to exchange any items they possessed for food if necessary. Her husband died in 1956, due to an injury received at the factory. She retired after 52 years of work in the factory.
Yaroslavl's 116-year-old centenarian, Klavdiya Gadyuchkina, was hospitalized, according to her granddaughter, Olga, with whom she has been living in recent years.
According to Klavdiya Gadyuchkina's family, she was born on November 24, 1909. She will turn 116 in 2025. However, according to the international organization LongeviQuest, the oldest Yaroslavl resident's actual birthdate is December 5, 1910. This means she won't turn 115 until early winter 2025. "Grandma has become ill and is in the hospital. Unfortunately, she can't wait for her birthday! There's no diagnosis yet. She needs an ultrasound and some tests," a relative of the centenarian said in an interview. In 2025, Klavdiya Gadyuchkina was ranked among the top 5 oldest people on Earth by the international organization LongeviQuest. The Yaroslavl resident is considered the oldest person in Russia.
LongeviQuest is an international organization dedicated to longevity research and age verification for people over 110. The organization maintains the world's largest database of centenarians, verifies age verification documents, and sets international standards in this field through its own global age validation commission.
The Life Story of a Centenarian Klavdiya Gadyuchkina was born in the village of Norskoye on the outskirts of Yaroslavl. In third grade, she dropped out of school to help support her family after the death of her mother. At 15, she found work at the Krasny Pereval factory. The work was physically demanding. The Yaroslavl resident recalls those years as the most difficult and exhausting period of her life.
Klavdiya Gadyuchkina previously noted her large and close-knit family as one of her life's greatest achievements. The centenarian has six grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren. She has seen four generations in her lifetime.
