Actress Regina Dombrovskaya may be aged over 70 but she’s incredibly active, still taking roles in films, presenting a segment of a morning show and appearing in advertisements

Lyudmila Brazhnik from Minsk will be soon 80, but rarely finds time to sit on a bench near her home. The grandmother attends English classes, surfs the Internet in the evenings and loves skiing. Her friend, Vitaly Kokhno, also a retiree, is a snowboarder. It’s a busy autumn of life...

Stanislava Lukot, from Sopotskin, reached the age of 100 recently. She jokes, “I’m in my productive prime!” Praskoviya Savolevich, from Doroshevichi, is 107. Everyone is keen to know their ‘secret’ but the answer is obvious: they all enjoy living and stay active, with a positive attitude. Why be otherwise? July data for this year shows that 557 people have reached the age of 100 or more in Belarus, with most from the Grodno Region.
