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.

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.

Nikolay Karpulev lived from April 25, 1917, to June 9, 2025.
He was the country's oldest man since October 4, 2024, at 248 days old. He held the position for the longest time since Mullahan Nurislamov (December 21, 2020, to July 9, 2023, at 2 years, 175 days old). He was the youngest person to die in the position since Leonid Zhdanov, who died on December 25, 2020, at 107 years, 178 days old. He died in Tula Oblast, the first person from that region to be considered the country's oldest. He is the 14th oldest person in Russian history.
He was the last veteran of the Great Patriotic War.

Stepan Tyushkevich succeeded Nikolay Karpulev as the oldest living man in Russia, but died on August 3, 2025, 55 days after being considered the oldest living man in Russia. This is the shortest time since Ivan Osadchuk, who remained 34 days old. Between August 31, 2024, and October 4, 2024, he died at 107 years, 221 days, the youngest since Leonid Zhdanov. He was the 5th man from Moscow to be considered the country's oldest man, the first since Alexey Sokolov, who held the position from April 21, 2013, to August 15, 2013.
He is the 23rd oldest man in Russia.
He was a Laureate of the USSR State Prize (1983), Honored Scientist of the RSFSR (1988), Honorary Member of the Academy of Natural Sciences of the Russian Federation in the Geopolitics and Security Section (1993), Honorary Professor of the Military University of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation (2015), member of the Union of Journalists.
His successor is Pavel Pavlovich Plotnikov, born on March 23, 1918, the 33rd oldest in Russian history. He was born in Rostov and lives in Karelia.

Klavdiya Gadyuchkina, Russia’s Oldest Person Ever, Dies at 114

Mrs. Klavdiya Gadyuchkina, the oldest living person in Russia and the world’s 5th-oldest living person, passed away yesterday, 29th November, at the age of 114 years, 359 days. Mrs. Gadyuchkina’s granddaughter, Olga, told LongeviQuest that her grandmother passed away peacefully after a few weeks of declining health.

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 claimed to have been born on 24 November 1909; however, according to the research conducted by the European Supercentenarian Organisation (ESO) and LongeviQuest, her actual birthdate was discovered to be 5 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.

In early 1928 she married Sergey Petrovich, and the couple went on to have five children. Her daughter Rita was born in late 1928, followed by two children who didn’t survive infancy. Her first son was born in January 1942 in what Klavdiya had recalled as “the most difficult time”. Her second son was born in 1945. Before her husband left to fight in World War II, he instructed her to exchange any items they possessed for food if necessary, which she did. Her husband died in 1956, due to an injury received at the factory. She retired after 52 years of work in the factory. After retirement Mrs. Gadyuchkina remained active and independent, still able to carry out household chores at the age of 107.
