Ivan Nikolayevich Osadchuk died, he was the 29th oldest living man in Europe, the 11th oldest living man in Russia, and the 12th oldest emigrant in Ukraine. He was also the oldest man born in Ukraine, which now becomes (if I'm wrong, please update me): Ilia Brovdii born on 13 Sept 1918 and lives in Zakarpattia Oblast
RIP

Pete Traut (RUS/USA, 3 Nov 1875 - 21 Jan 1986, 110) validated by the ESO/LQ on 17 Feb 2025.
https://longeviquest.com/supercentenarian/pete-traut/
Pete Traut was born in Nekrasovo (then Norka), Saratov Oblast, Russia, on 3 November 1875 (21 October in Julian calendar). On 25 February 1902, at 26, he married Elizabeth Traut (1879–1967), with whom he had six daughters: Evelyn, Lena, Marie Goldsborough, Della Humphrey, Leona Rogers, and Pauline Harlow. In 1906, the family moved to McCook, Nebraska, and in 1908, they moved to Loveland, Colorado.
Traut spent most of his life farming in the Loveland area of Colorado. After his wife passed away in 1967, he moved in with his daughters in Fort Collins.
At 105, he attributed his longevity to maintaining a routine, which included an early-to-bed, early-to-rise schedule.
Traut passed away in Fort Collins, Colorado, on 21 January 1986, at the age of 110 years, 79 days.

Glad to see myself and others get credit for his validation! 🙂 I'm also glad that apparently something for him from within the 20-year-window was discovered (a birth and/or baptismal record?), since otherwise he couldn't get validated.
Interestingly enough, he isn't the oldest Volga German man ever right now since his record was subsequently broken by Herbert Engel (1907-2018), who died just one day short of his 111th birthday and whom I hope that LQ and ESO will also validate in the future!

Thank you very much, I managed to access this, and found the mention of it
I hope he can stay alive, and reach 110 at least, he looks very healthy
Having a Russian man reach age 110+ is difficult but not impossible. Difficult because Russia has suffered a lot in the past and thus many Russians, even if they lived, had severely unhealthy lifestyles that hindered their full potential. Even if you have the genes to live to age 110+, if you're a chronic alcoholic, for instance, you're probably not going to make it to age 110+.
Russian emigrant men such as Pete Traut and Herbert Engel did manage to reach age 110+ but they were lucky because they spent most of their lives outside of Russia.
