Not only simply a wise old man, a true world-class philosopher!
...and a spiritual brother of Rasputin.

. . . never used alcohol in large amounts. How large is an amount?

The planet's oldest living person, Grigoriy Nestor, died at the age of 116 in the Lvov Region in western Ukraine on Sunday
.. in the revolution time (1918) everything was a mess but the red russians added 100 years to the birth certificate of some people.

Sheep herder = low stress job. Time to sit on a$$ and play harmonica. Reason for longevity, perhaps.

So the heart didn’t stop? Apparently not. Perhaps vapor lock is a major cause of death.

One and a half or two is moderate drinking, I have never had a Ukrainian friend who would stop at One.

She also joked that her only wrinkle was the crack of her butt. Great pithy sense of humor.

In other news, scientists confirm human mortality continues to hover just one point below 101%!

Wow, this old codger outlived Czar Nicolas, Lennin, Molatov, Stalin, Malenkov, Khrushchev, Brzezinski, Andropov, and Chernenko.
Lived through Imperial Russia, Russian Revolution, WWI, WWII and the Cold War.

Is Golodomor the term for the Stalin-caused great starvation of the 1930s?

There was a little ole’ lady from Corinth, Mississippi, that held the distinction of being the world’s oldest person for about two weeks before she died. Might as well paint a target on your forehead if one becomes the world’s oldest person.
To: Verginius Rufus
That’s it exactly. One of Stalin’s worst crimes and probably his least well known. While these people were dying in the millions we had reporters visiting Moscow and when they came back they’d say “I have seen the future and it works!”

The late Ryszard Kapuscinski, who died in Jan. 2007, has an excellent treatment of the Ukrainian famine in his book Imperium.
