Oldest resident of island Saaremaa is Elisaveta Meier, who celebrated 103 years on November, 2005.
When journalist asked, what a secret of her age is, she replied: „I can not tell you, because it is a secret!” But as time pass away, she unexpectedly reveal a bit: „I have lot of work done in Soviet time collective farm, so I am trained to survive.” No matter of age, Elisaveta has a good sense of humor and her narrative is very clear. Her favorite activity is a reading of newspapers. On the contrary, her greatest problem is worsening eyesight during last years. Elisaveta have seen the first Republic of Estonia (1918–1940), 50 years of Soviet occupation and regain of independence. „But now is best time, they pay me no matter I do nothing”, meaning that she gets a pension income.
By official records, there are 3 inhabitants of Saaremaa, who have been reached to 100 or more years old. The oldest man is Afanassi Homljuk, (father of Vjatšeslav Leedo, owner of the Saaremaa Shipping Company), who celebrated 96 years on January 2006. Estonian oldest resident is 106 years old, as recorded on January.
Men live usually 10 to 12 years less than women. Why? Presumably the reason is that men have more dangerous work, accidents, suicides, and they took part in risky military missions.

61 YEARS BACK and Novadays, September 22, Estonia.
61 years back, the Russian Army conclusively occupied Estonia. No matter German Army already leave Tallinn earlier, Estonian capital were bombed and almost ruined by Russian Air Force. The blue - black - white national flag on Government house tower top were replaced with red one. This was only beginning. During Communist times people forbear different persecution, even torturing and deporting. And Christianity were " most hated enemy and needed to be inevitably exterminated ".
Today still ex-serviceman of Red Army gathered front of Soviet soldier statue in Tallinn to celebrate " liberating Estonia from German Army " and lighted extra big candle (lighting of gas light /place/ before memorial not allowed).
But about the same time hundreds of people placed lighted candles in several memorial places for mourning in Old City, Tallinn. They morn people and Estonia, both experienced violence and injustice during occupation by Russia.
Does "liberating" always mean freedom? No. Does the World will get to know and remember the whole true history? I hope so.
