You can be sure that someone born in 1917 in Russia will have stories to tell. Galina Grebneva has more than her fair share.

When you have so much material, so many great stories, how do you pick just one?

Our last stop on the Children of 1917 expedition was Finland, namely Tampere, the country's second largest city, where we met our final two heroes.

Minsk is a city built for giants. And it is where we met a great soul, Maria Fyodorovna Rylik, who dedicated her life to teaching and her family.

In which a retired Polish butcher explains how to live to be 100 and serenades us on his trumpet.

On borders, learning Polish, the influence of culture, and the importance of a sense of humor.

Two days in Irkutsk and one on Baikal, where we meet a soft-spoken mechanic and visit two very different tourist destinations.

A second post from Krasnoyarsk, where we meet a poetry-writing, rug-weaving centenarian.

Krasnoyarsk: knocking down stereotypes about Siberia and meeting a centenarian who will not be stopped.

On the importance of coffee, academicians, a museum, a rooster, the harvesting of turf, and collectivization.

A train ride, a war hero, sunflower fields, and the Loch Ness monster - just another day on the road for the Children of 1917 team.

In which we move east to Samara, on the Volga River, and meet two centenarians living alone in very different ways.
