Abstract
The social portrait of the Yakutsk long-livers is compiled based on the primary data analysis. Long-livers, who spent their childhood and youth in the war years, are still not clearly defined as a separate group in many scientifical areas. An interdisciplinary approach revealed the history of life, gender and psychological differences of people 90 years of age and older in order to identify common and stable characteristics of the portrayed group.
