LORDLANGERZ's video: North Caucasus village s resident claims to be oldest person on Earth

Magomed Labazanov says he's the oldest person living in Russia and perhaps across the globe. In one of the small Dagestani villages in Russia`s North Caucasus surrounded by mountains and hills lives a man who has walked through three centuries. While studying his biography it is possible to observe the development of the country`s history. No surprise then that he's something of a local celebrity. Almost everyone in this region knows about him and comes to visit and talk to him. And today Magomed has agreed to share some of his secrets to a long life. Despite only humble surroundings, Magomed says his neighborhood has provided him with the elixir of life. "I eat only what I raise myself, I drink milk and eat milk products, vegetables from my garden. All my life I was a farmer, I worked a lot with buffalos and horses - hard work is good for you," says Magomed Labazanov. While his body may not be as nimble as it once was, his soul remains strong and determined. All his life he strictly followed all religious traditions. He prays five times a day and does all the preparations himself. The official information about Magomed dates back to the 1960s when he moved to Dagestan. In these documents it is said that he was born in 1890 and there is database about him and his family. However the rest of the archive to prove his path in life was destroyed in a fire in the 1930s in Chechnya, where he was born. Recently, the title "the oldest living person" was awarded by the Guinness Book of Records to a Brazilian woman, Maria Gomes Valentim, who is 114 years. But Magomed's family remains undeterred, and wants to see him crowned with the title. "We had thought to send an application to the Guinness Worlds Records. We all, all our family, and he has 18 grandsons and 20 grandgrandchildren, believe he truly deserves it," says Ibragim Labazanov, the son of Magomed. Ninety-nine percent of claims about people being 115 or over are said to be false or un-documentable. The Guinness Book of Records says applicants must have original proof of birth issued within 20 years of that birth and proof that the person alive today is the same person in the original certificate. Whether or not he ever gets official recognition, when it comes to tracing your roots, Magomed's name will always stand proud of his family tree.
