Khasako Dzugayev (1860-1970)

Khasako Dzugayev (August 1860 – c. August 1970) was probably the first supercentenarian from the USSR, although this country was only created after the Russian Revolution. He became the world's oldest man upon the death of John Mosely Turner on March 21, 1968. Dzugayev was last known to be alive in August 1970, having just turned 110, but his age cannot be fully verified without knowing his exact date of death.
